My husband and I were at this show and this brought tears to my eyes that night, in a good way. I've been working in mental health for almost 9 years now and it was such an amazing experience to get to see such raw and genuine trust of the audience like this, but with comedy at the same time. We were blown away by your set AJ. Honestly, we are huge Jay Mewes fans, but we actually liked your set better. Thank you!!!

“Instead of telling me how to live my life, let me have my medicine so I can show you what it looks like to live my best one.” Incredible. You are an inspiration and a beautiful human being. ☮️❤️

That's crazy. That's why as a primary care physician who treats patients (like me) with ADHD, I don't send positive drug screens for confirmatory tests that include THC If anything, I find benzodiazepines (schedule 4 controlled substances) much more habit forming and more dangerous than Marijuana (a schedule 1), especially Xanax. Those are two separate things. Xanax is much more habit forming than most schedule 3 controlled substances like testosterone. While I'm sure it happens, I've never known of anyone addicted to using testosterone. I've definitely know of many addicted to Xanax and Tylenol with codeine (another schedule 3 CS). I've seen Xanax addicts have seizures in the waiting room due to withdrawal. More dangerous because I've never seen anyone die from an overdose of testosterone or marijuana. But I know of many that have died from an overdose on benzodiazepines. All of the above are facts. But personally, I just hate Xanax. F*** the Pfizer CEOs and executives who relished in the fact that their Xanax would bring in more money than so many of their other drugs. And I'm a fan of this guy because his comedy is hilarious. I too have at least one of his disorders. I probably have both, but unlike one of my boys, I've not been diagnosed with being on the spectrum.

Yes...let's make it federally legal...I'm a vet, and I smoke this illegal in my state...but it helps the PTSD..

I agree

Imagine legalizing federally, and getting it free from the VA forever.

Diagnosed autistic last February. I’m FORTY SIX! 😂😂😂

This was raw and beautiful. Well done, AJ.

My wife introduced me to your comedy, and as someone else who is a late in life discoverer of their Autism, and also heavily self medicates with marijuana, you are an inspiration. I have watched several of your videos now, and cried because I felt so seen when you went on your tangent about how Marijuana saved your life, because I had never felt so seen in my life until your monologue. I truly hope I at the very least can see one of your shows, and I hope even more I can meet you in real life. You seem like a wonderful human being.

Thank you for talking about this. I am also a veteran with severe ADHD that is unable to be treated for it because I have my medical card for PTSD. It’s disgusting what the VA does and more people need to know.

My wife and I were at this show with friends, We haven't laughed that much in years.

I was diagnosed at 41, and I was always terrified of pot, and terrified of the world. Now that I know I am autistic, adhd, and have a pretty good dose of central auditory processing disorder, that beautiful little bud has helped me to not be stuck in paranoia, anxiety, and endless self hatred. I have made my own growth happen, and I am no longer wasting my precious energy worrying about if I came across as “awkward” or “too much”. If I am indeed “too much” for people, then please don’t interact with me. I have found nothing but Superhero strength in my magical neurodivergence, and my ability to love, spread joy, laughter kindness, validation and respect. Even though it was meant as a mean joke, my dad never realized that my middle name Joy is truly what I thrive in now. I no longer have insecurities holding a silly soft fidget toy. I am getting better and better at not getting flustered when I really cannot understand what I am being told. And I will keep asking until I understand. I am empowered, every time I share with someone that I often struggle with conversations or topics, not because I am slow, (like most audyhd’s out here, I too have a slightly higher than average IQ), but because my little noodle ramen noggin sometimes is more focused on the pretty enamel red bowl I sit in, instead of how good the broth might be, lol! I finally had the interest to start looking for comics like myself. And finding you, Brother?!?!? JACKPOT. You speak my language, and I am now a fan. People, no matter if they’re mainstream, or neurodivergent, don’t realize enough the power in making yourself vulnerable, open and honest. It is indeed terrifying at first, but more and more people recover quick, and it 9 out of 10 times makes it an even more meaningful connection. Peace, good health, love, abundance and steady strength to you, my fellow Light. You are AMAZING!!! Namaste, Brother!

Mate, you are a bloody legend! I am constantly in tears laughing! But you started talking off-script and about the medication, I was right there with you. You spoke from the heart and was so on point with what you were saying. I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, still trying to come to grips with it. What you spoke about, absolutely fantastic, the courage to speak about it, I wanted to high five you and give ya a big hug. Awesome!!

TikTok brought me here before the blowup!!!! Let's go!!!🤘🤘🤘

Tiktok sent me! And i Subbed to you. You are amazing! So glad you found what works for you

My husband and I got to see you in Charlotte NC. We have been fans for a while. We got to talk to you about our daughter with autism and how she is so misunderstood and bullied. For being smarter than her classmates and not being able to communicate. You assured us that she will be just fine and said how you could relate. But in the show we could relate with almost everything you said with what we have seen and dealt with our daughter. You kept telling everyone to stop with the pucker effect because you were going to address things that most people didn't like talking about. We totally understood where you were coming from. And we loved your insights on how people react to you and your self soothing (stemming). We love how you can make it where you are making people laugh with you about this stuff. You had my husband about dying laughing because we see these things in our daughter and sometimes you have to laugh and tell them hey it's OK, we understand, what just happened was kinda funny and talk to them about how it was funny and then she laughs with us about it. And then she will go tell her Nana and "Grandpaul" what she did and how it was funny. And Nanna has that pucker effect all of the time. Sorry I'm rambling, we love you and can't wait to see you again!❤

Thank you so much for commenting!! It was amazing meeting you, conversations like the one we got to have about your daughter are one of my favorite parts of doing comedy - getting to meet my people and their families, getting to hear stories like mine and knowing that mine is being shared back as well! This means so much to me to know I had that lasting effect, seriously thank you!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

It’s happening, brother❤ As someone who has chronic pain and has outlived opiates effectiveness without my liver failing, that little flower has saved my life. I also worry about being punished for not wanting to suffer.

This just brought tears to my eyes! This is so powerful AJ, thank you so much for sharing this!

Thank you so much for this! My oldest son was diagnosed when he was 3 yrs old. Today most people dont even notice his tics its all just a part of what makes him who he is. My youngest son wasnt diagnosed until he was almost 22 yrs old & he still struggles so much everyday. He has a lot of those dark thoughts every day & I have so much guilt for not seeing the signs when he was younger. I should have been able to recognize... 🥺 *Sigh So anyway i just wanted to say that in these 9 minutes you made me tear up a bit, made me laugh even more, but most of all gave me hope. I just want to thank you sincerely for laying it all out there for all of us to see. Now im gonna f***in pull up my big girl pants & go smoke a fatty & have a few laughs with my autistic kid.

I am epileptic sir, thank you SO SO much for saying, on a platform my anxiety won't let me on, what I have been screaming for 15 years. ♡ please continue spreading this message

I've been using the oil extract to fight my lung cancer. In 18 months, my tumor went from 8.1 cm to 3 cm!! I went from stage 4 cancer and coughing up BLOOD all day to where I am now. I went 9 months without the RSO oil and JUST got some mailed (illegally) to me here in Alabama. A.J., I do NOT blame you for not coming to do any shows in Alabama because this is a hypocrite state. I seriously hope I get to see you in person SOME day. #EndCannabisProhibition

I would love to see your set live! I’m a Veteran as well, been living with 24/7 migraines since I returned from Afghanistan (over 14 years now), not one minute awake pain free. We were living in a legal state a couple of years ago and my dr recommend cannabis and it got me off of 7 different daily meds. Then we moved back to TX and had to go back on all of my meds. Have been advocating with fellow Veterans since to help change the laws here, making progress however slow. Also a mom to 4, 2 of whom are on the spectrum too. None of the other medications/procedures etc have ever worked well enough. Cannabis helps the pain and gives me strength to keep going. Like you, I have anxiety traveling. My parents live in a illegal state and the meds I get here in Texas (low level cannabis gummies this is now legal here) can’t leave the state. It’s not right. I’m glad you found something that worked for you and that you are still here with us! -April

I was at this show. He was opening for Jason Mewes. Saw them both again in Portland last night.

I am so happy you are still here!

Yes!!! As a herb loving dad with 2 autistic sons this hit so hard. Thanks for sharing AJ! Keep being so unapologetically you🙏

You're my hero Brother !! As a fellow Brother in Arms , I struggled , I also wasn't diagnosed properly and it was a horrible fight to keep myself alive everyday. You left it all out on the stage Brother , so proud of you , keep doing your thing man, godamn halararious!! If we're not laughing we're crying man , so thank you again for your voice Brother , and keep fighting the good fight ! Peace and love my man !!!

Standing ovation here brother fucking amazing how you open yourself and still make us laugh

You're the funniest guy I've seen in awhile man. Keep up the great work! Thanks for the laughs.

New sub here. This really hit home for me. I am 45 and just now realizing that I have ADHD although I’m still not diagnosed. I have self medicated with cannabis for many years. Thank you for what you do. I came here from TikTok. I love stand up and I love you! You rock man!

ADHD sufferer here but I found out at the age of 36 that I myself am on the spectrum and HOLY FUCK was it eye opening. But at the same time my ADHD is very severe. But I have learned to mask the symptoms of the other things to make a joke out of it. But you sir have managed to make it seem like anything is possible especially because you did it all within a month!

Yes yes yes!!! Everything you said yes I am right there with you. I was diagnosed at 33 medical marijuana save my life and yet I find myself in disabled housing that I’m not allowed to smoke my medicine because it’s a federal housing but I’m disabled. Like wtf? In my state it’s legal and autism is listed on the medical marijuana but like it’s just crazy. yes, all the things I love you right now so much. Omg. Lol

The courage this man has to go up. God bless!

Bro, I love your stand up. I found you while watching Kill Tony tik toks and shorts and shit and absolutely loved your style. I've binged almost all of your standup and you speak to me on a personal level. I also want to pursue standup but feel like I'm not good enough. Watching you is giving me the courage and inspiration to try and do what I want to do. Thank you so much for living your best life.

Absolutely amazing, AJ! Love seeing you! Edit: OMG he liked my comment. You are the best AJ!!!

This this is pure he is my new favorite comedian I just found him rn he is amazing hope he is doing well 👏🏻💜🙌

Im so glad you went on the Ubsubscribe Podcast. Really appreciate you and your comedy :)

This is amazing! I struggle with adhd and ptsd (non military related) and I smoke weed and hide it from my dr and my adhd goes unmedicated because the marijuana helps me in so many other ways. God bless you for being real and honest!!!! I hope to see you live one day

You're amazing! Keep doing what you're doing!!

A.J I only just discovered you and your comedy on Instagram om Thursday. Let me just say that disability or no disability, you are a true comedian and are damn good at it! Well done you ❤ seeing you let your guard down on this video and being as real and open about your struggles with the "system" was just awesome. Full support here from a Kiwi lady (NZ) who is also the mum of a young man (21) with a chromosomal deletion, adhd, with many autistic trait behaviours. Toby is on CBD oil and has been for 3 years.. best thing we ever did. Stand up for what you believe in & know what works. 😊 love ya work matey... hope you can get out to the "down under" side of this crazy world and bring your talented self to unleash your comedy 😅

Absolutely amazing. Made me laugh made get emotional. This is what we call a genuine great human being right here. Love ya brotha hope all is well!

I just finished watching this video and to me this guy is not just a very funny comedian but a very bright man (aka preacher). I felt something deep from this video because I was diagnosed with adhd & autism when I was in the 5th grade & I’m 29 right now and I take medicine for my mental diagnosis so I can function in society too. I hope this guy come to Virginia to do some stand-up comedy because I’ll definitely by a ticket because I live in Virginia

Amen brother..as the uncle of an autistic young man..I feel you..sharing this w his mother..for reference..keep up the good fight☆☆☆☆☆..you are funny as hell.☆☆☆☆☆◇◇◇◇◇

Well said! 💚💚 Love seeing you thriving I still remember seeing ya on the road on your 4-wheeler on 337. 😆

I met AJ at a set in Huntsville Alabama 03-04-2022. AJ personally knows a good friend of mine from Florida. His set was the funniest set I've ever seen in my life! It was also genuine and resonated with me. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I've seen the difference medical THC can make firsthand. AJ keep doing your thing and you should also pursue lobbying our government. If you meet the right leaders and share your story you can help make the change happen that will improve all of our lives! Thank you for what you are doing and I hope our paths will cross again!

Dude. You are BY FAR my absoFUCKINlute favorite guy/comedian (other than my 4 boys) in the world! I appreciate you and everything you are! Keep fuckin going AJ and don't you dare stop chasing your dream!!!! I no longer listen to music while cleaning house, putting on my make up for the day or in my spare time. You are an amazing man and if I ever get the chance to come to one of your shoes..best believe you will know I'm there...I'll be your biggest fan there doll! Much love from Indiana 🖤💋

Love you brother, i suffer from PTSD umbrella of anxiety, insomnia, depression, racing thoughts, etc. I also have chronic back pain from running miles with my 70 lbs pack on and wearing boots for 96 hours without taking them off while deployed. I wish i could get the meds from the VA and use medical MJ. But like you said, they system is broken as fuck. Keep fighting the good fight!

Found a short video of you on Facebook and couldn't stop laughing at it, you are hilarious and I really enjoy great comedy. Keep up the amazing work

You are such a friggin’ legend. I laugh until I’m in tears. You are so relatable to me and still so inspiring. I could listen to you talk for days… and… actually I do.

That little flower is amazing & can do so much good.

I’m dying 😂 this was amazing keep it up!!

AJ Wilkerson for president!!!

You are not alone sir! Your story is so many other people's Story! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift of humor! I suspect with your many diagnosis, many of mine also, that you have been in a very dark place before as have I. PLEASE remember if you find yourself there and you think you can't go on, PLEASE REACH OUT. 🙏 please do that for your fellow brothers who made it home. God bless you.

Dude you are SO HILARIOUS 😂 glad I seen you on TikTok you are so strong never stop doing what you love your an absolute natural at this!!! 💞

Love him and his honesty. Preachy truth!

Went to school with AJ happy to see he is kicking ass...

I was watching this at home and have tears in my eyes for the first time in months because of you saying the statement "give me my medicine and let me shoe you what it looks like when I live my best one, I have a large array of illnesses and noise in the brain that cannabis is the only thing that helps keep it quiet and calm.

Brilliant, brother. Bravo!

You are a true inspiration to everyone. Keep doing what you're doing brother!

Love you man! You're killing it. You know, the thing that I think we could all agree on to unite Americans, isn't being talked about in the media. Everything that divides us is all over, but the Epstein case is quiet af. As far as your medicine, you served this country, you should be exempt from whatever bullshit laws are in place that would charge you for such a victimless crime. Keep on killing it brother

Keep burnin it down man!! 🔥🔥🔥

This creature is awesome 😎❤

This is awesome dude. My entire family is neurodivergent and I just love seeing this. Thank you.

We had an awesome time last night. I would've loved to sit down and chatter with you about life with Autism/ADHD. You inspire me to do more with my affliction and find the humor in the world I live in. Thanks for the awesome photo as well! I need to get you and Jake to sign it so I can hang it on my wall as a forever memory. You are one of the funniest dudes on the planet. Keep kicking ass! From your forever-fan.

Lot's of good people working towards that, we just need more. Love that set.

Keep doing what your doing bud an inspiration to us all

This is amazing comedy and he deserves lots of success!

America needs to smoke a joint right now!

Love you and so proud!!

I was 27 when I was diagnosed. My mother's reaction "yeah no shit, yall ain't know that? "

This is awesome dude. It's easy to see you really care about what you're doing and that you enjoy it and that's exactly why you'll succeed. I hope you find peace.

Cannabis saved my life too. Mental health issues were gonna kill me. This brought tears to my eyes and I truly feel for what your going through. If I ever get to one of your shows I'll happily gift you some flower and be even happier to burn one down with you! Stay safe out there AJ! Hope to get out and see you soon!

Dude Aj! I love you, I love your show! I'm gonna try to come see you live bro!

Your awesome man I struggled with mental health issues and smoking helps

Oorah, brother!!! Get after it!

This is so powerful ♡♡♡♡♡

Fantastic.

I'm a 41 year old man that's most likely been living w/ undiagnosed autism my whole life and it is about time that cannabis takes over alcohols place in society... I can't wait for the day it's federally legal and legal to sell across state lines because I'm driving my ass to a cheaper state than PA and I'm getting myself a Mason Jar full of RSO and an ice cream bucket full of the best Indica I can find. 😂👍❤️ And now I want to get some ice cream too... LoL 🍦😋🤣

Bro. You SLAY!! 🗡🗡🗡

Right on my friend!

You’re dope bro. Keep it up.

keep going dude youre funny af!!!!

Definitely subscribed now

Damn AJ I stumbled on your channel.. you come a long way cuz from a small town boy

Keep going ✊🏾🤞🏾 your blessed

Man I can't wait till you come to Oklahoma City.

Amen.

❤u & mat rife bro ur inspirational asf

I feel your anger and frustration. See you in June

You are a powerful badass, my dude. Your demons are some that I share, and those that I don't I'll still face down with you whenever need, brother. I got your six from a distance.

I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH, MY BOY!!!😘😗😙😚😍

I'm a new follower! You're hilarious as fuck! Thank you for making my ride from work enjoyable and kept me laughing the whole way! Come up to Canada, we got weed shops as abundant as our coffee shops!

Thanks!

So ooo good😍

That's exactly how I dress. People tease me for flipflops and shorts year round, I juat tell them "dress for the job you want." I dress how I want because the job I want is the job that lets me do that.

Damn right

Dude you're fucking hilarious! 😂

Massive MASSIVE love for this set/bit/human that is your standup and/or your story. I’m in a (not really, 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 vaguely but actually pretty) similar situation to yourself, and hoh-boi is this a silly slap right in the ol’ feels button. That constant feeling of being about to implode can be crushing - so it’s nice to relate to something at such a sub Titan-Sub depth. If I was a stronger man, maybe coming across this video would be that final sign I needed to make me believe…..in the Crow-Cabal! Fuckin thought thieving Tattle-Tits! Trying to read my mind, eh? Well fuck you, ya gat damb Turkey Tyrants! Speaking of abrupt segues, it’s really just that struggle to find the right wave of motivation which lets me finally pull all double digits and several knuckles worth of fingers out of my own (piranha infested) de(moat)ivated ass. Alliterative anguish assault aside, you’ve got an absolutely incredible ability to build trust in the audience, and did an amazing job of rewarding that trust with a really fuggin funny bit of a story. Can’t wait to see you continue onwards and upwards dude. Not sure how you managed to operate on all those sick animals with all the earthquakes going on, but nonetheless I salute your service as a vet. 🫡

I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my late 20's. I'm also phonically deaf so I have trouble understanding thick accents and can't learn foreign languages. This after failing 4 different foreign languages in college. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Fuck yeah bro keep it going! Youre fuckin refreshingly hilarious!youve got a fan for life battle

I had a brain aneurism that nearly killed me! The medication’s, 28 a day, that they gave me to keep me alive made my life of bad quality. Then I smoked some marijuana, and peace settled upon me and I haven’t looked back. I’m of the pills, except for my blood pressure pill, and I haven’t smoked marijuana since, but it helped me, thank goodness get off all the other pills, please legalise it, and smoke it responsibly!

Dude! I'm like number 666! Fuckin score man! Also dude, you'r funny as hell. Love your shit dude.

💕💕
