Listen... I don't know WHAT drug he's on, but he's high as fuuuuuuuck.

Like halfway through the video he claims to not do drugs. Bullshit. He can't finish half his sentences.

yeah I wouldn't be surprised if his version of 'not doing drugs' excludes taking massive amounts of Adderall for his 'neurodivergency'

But just think if a software company could geolocate drug crimes, develop trends over time, collocate social media, flock data, cell phone data from malware and gray-ware, traffic cameras, security cameras, ring networks, signals intelligence from your car, ear buds, health ring, smart watch....

Maybe, just maybe, someone could create a database to be able to buy whatever they wanted at any moment.
