Disclaimer

IM HIGH ON CRACK AND I HAVE A GUN is not a slogan, a threat, a flex, or an invitation to imitate anything inside this project. It is an alarm bell. A title pulled from the kind of reality most people would rather look away from, attached to a project built to make them look anyway. The words are supposed to stop you for a second. What comes after them is the reason the project exists: six years of evidence showing how a person can collapse in plain sight, what addiction actually does to a life, and what that collapse can reveal about the world surrounding it.

DISCLAIMER: This is documentary, art, and archive material about addiction, psychosis, grief, survival, systems, and unsafe behavior. It is not instruction, medical advice, a challenge, or encouragement to imitate anything shown.

TRIGGER WARNING: This project contains extremely graphic depictions of drug use, addiction, and self-destructive behavior. Some material may be especially difficult or triggering for people in early recovery or sobriety.
