In this YouTube monologue, Dallas Bragg argues that methamphetamine use—referred to as "Centenas" or "Tina"—has escalated into a worldwide epidemic within the gay community. He contends that while drug use among gay men is not new, the current crisis is amplified by digital hookup apps like Grindr, which facilitate rapid spread of the substance to homes worldwide. Bragg frames meth use not merely as chemical addiction but as an underground culture where gay men, unable to find acceptance and equality in mainstream gay spaces, turn to the drug for community and validation. He calls for an end to judgment of users, urging viewers to recognize the deeper social causes and to join a collective effort to address the problem.

Chapters

I get so many flippant comments on social media saying gays have been using Centenas since the '90s. It's nothing new. Maybe so, but we are currently in a worldwide epidemic. The introduction of Grindr has helped spread this problem to every home with internet access in every country. Gays aren't using it like they did in the '90s, and it isn't the same drug either. If you are a gay man and are turning a blind eye to this problem, you are part of the problem. Young gay men to older gay men, all getting trapped by the underground culture of Tina. Not just the chemical, it's a culture to find acceptance and to find equality because they can't find it in their mainstream gay, quote, community. The meth epidemic goes way beyond drug addiction and is a reflection of the problems we face as a population of gay men. It is time we stopped judging the men who use it and addressing the underlying causes. Comment me below if you want to stand up and be part of the solution.
