    I was a fentanyl addict for a few years. I remember every dark net market said it strictly prohibited fentanyl, but everyone knew the pressed oxy M30s and "other" opioids were fentanyl.
    I've lost so many friends who didnt deserve to die, and I OD'd multiple times.
    I hope something is seriously done to put a stop to this fentanyl crisis.
    Now I have 13 months clean. WE DO RECOVER 🖤

    • @Blunt_Man
      @Blunt_Man Год назад +262

      That was my first thought, surely fent would have made a lot more sense over meth. A benzo user would spot the difference likely either way but put it this way, I've never seen anybody gobble up a few bars and instead of blacking out, they get a bunch of energy and zero brain fog. At least if they were nodding out it might help to sell the illusion that it's some sort of sedative, especially if the person had little to no first hand experience with benzos, they'd probably just think that "xanax" is way more euphoric and sedating than actual alprazolam really is.

      Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

    If anyone is suffering from fenytnal use and wants to quit I highly suggest going to a rehab that does a methadone taper to wean yourself off. It will make the withdrawal process so much easier then having to wait 3 or 5 days to get on suboxone. My first rehab didn't have a methadone taper. It was the worst withdrawal I ever went through. Then I heard about how some rehabs do methadone tappers. It was night and day difference. Just celebrated a yr clean Sept 18th.

And the one where you can qualify to go for free I forget what it's called sponsored? you have to wait for a bed for weeks it's hard to get in for most people and never get in right away . I struggled with heroin and later fentanyl my last relapse 8 years went by but could never get clean until right before my dad die bc I didn't want to have to be hig and unpressent during his passing. It's different for everyone and I wish addiction on no one not even people I have problems with. Nothing worse then being sick . Finally at 40 I have just over a yeah clean but it's hard and lonely . Anyhow get out before you die if you don't you don't want to have to start over in life at 40. Because at this age it is hard to make good friends grow a business bc finding someone to hire you is hard . Just don't fuck your life up kids. Be good.

    I remember seeing an explanation of what's needed in a dose of fentanyl to achieve its desired effect. it was less than a grain of sand. it was TINY. and something like 3 grains was enough to kill someone. So when you get fentanyl from a doctor in a hospital setting as a pain killer, it's a microscopic amount dissolved in a solution. It's not just a drug but a super effective and valuable pain killer.

    • @Lunatix246

      It also doesn't mix very well in powdery concoctions, the fentanyl eventually comes back together if not mixed frequently. This is probably why some of these pills were causing overdoses, whilst some of them didn't even contain any.

But honestly imo they really aren’t that different from each other which might be why you didn’t exactly notice.

    I lived in San Antonio during the period of time when the counterfeit pressed Xanax bars were really big. Most of them were not fentanyl though they were research benzos like Flualprazolam, Clonzalam, and etizolam. They felt just like the real thing and they would go for top dollar. Whoever was buying them directly off the dark web must have made a fortune at the local Methadone clinics.

    Imo the best route is to legalise and regulate the trade of these drugs, use the revenues to help combat addiction problems etcetera, there'll always be a black market but it'd be rendered significantly smaller and less profitable by such a move and people buying XYZ would be able to have some confidence that it is in fact what they paid for rather than a potentially miscalculated dose of something like Fentanyl which has basically no tolerance for such things.

      Do you know what "legalise" means? It means X thing is no longer Illegal and therefore not a crime.
      Whether or not it *should* be a crime is a different matter, and I firmly believe that drugs and prostitution should be legalised and regulated. And no my opinion doesn't change when I "think of my neighbourhood" because I'm not a NIMBY.
      I've quite probably shared a neighbourhood with prostitutes before, given the prevalence of the industry, and I can say for a fact that I have and still do live near people who use drugs.

Not drugs and prostitution. Worse, apparently the addicts believe the non addicted tax payers should pay for the addicts drug supply. Anyone screaming "legalize drugs!" hasn't explained who is going to pay to keep the addicts alive. You can't work while you are having a heroin nod. Most sane people don't want tweakers taking stuff apart on the job site. No employer wants to pay for Internet for a cocaine addict to jack off to porn at work. Saying "legalize drugs" is a terrible over simplification that does not address the behavior problems and the cost of drugs, the impact they have on the workplace and damage to health as well. Yes we do already have substances that are legal that impact health, but adding brain damage to the list shouldn't be included. Ignore the fools who say these drugs should be as normalized as anything else on the weekly grocery list. These people don't shoot up AFTER the bills are paid. They do drugs until there is no money left to even pay the bills. That is why so many of them get kicked out onto the streets.

    Fentanyl is a scary and I've experienced its effects due to accidental exposure. One of my job duties as an investigator for my jurisdiction's coroner's office is taking medication inventories to see if the deceased was medication compliant or if any of their prescribed meds may have contributed to their deaths.
    The case I'm talking about was for an end-stage cancer pt who wasn't expected to live long once hospice started and they passed within a couple of days of going home. It was in the evening, scene investigation completed, even though it was after hours, I took the collected meds back to the office so I could get my paperwork going. I was taking drugs out of the 8-gallon trash bag the family had placed them in. What I didn't know was that they had dropped their relative's unused fentanyl patches into the middle of the med pile and there was enough residue on the packaging that got on my skin that I woke up face-down on my desk some 2 hrs later not knowing what had happened.
    It's no wonder overdose deaths are as high as they are. Espcially for the unsuspecting, you don't know what the hell just hit you.

    The issue began when the government cracked down on doctors prescribing medications deemed potentially harmful. While these medications have risks, obtaining them from a licensed physician ensures proper monitoring and dosage. Restricting doctors has inadvertently driven individuals to seek these medications from illegal sources. It might be more effective if the government allowed medical professionals to make informed decisions about prescriptions, rather than penalizing them for addressing patient needs.

      It’s not that they’re incorrect, they just don’t have all the details and facts to explain. These websites sell research chemical analogous of other benzodiazepines. So while Xanax is the brand name for alprazolam, this guy was likely buying etizolam, bromazolam, or fluprazolam. They’re all copycat benzodiazepines which are only a small small molecule away from being the same product that is Xanax. They’re insanely cheap and guys like this one in the story buy them also from chemical wear hoses in china (the source for the fentanyl as well) for next to nothing and then turn it into tens of thousands of ‘Xanax’ bars. It’s the adderall they were using meth to fake and sell to customers. All of which are very grimy business practices. But like u said, selling meth as Xanax doesn’t make sense and never would make sense. It’s the Chinese research facilities that are crating all this poison they send to Americans. It’s chemical ware fare. Trump administration put pressure on china to stop producing fentanyl. So now china makes the chemical precursors needed to produce fent, and they ship it over to the Mexican cartels. So they take the chemicals and make the fent where they’ve already got long established smuggling routes and operations from years of bringing in heroin and cocaine. Now they bring in the fent cuz it’s more addictive, stronger, and has now becomes the preferred drug for those using hard stuff in this country. Also, it’s so potent that a box that fits let’s say ten or 20 pounds coming across the border, we’ll that much fent is enough to supply a whole state for a long period of time, where it might have been enough coke to supply a rich social circle for a brief period of time. Point being there’s ten times the bang for ur buck when it comes to bringing in fent and you can get more money for something with twice the demand and it can all be done in a smaller space than anything they’ve sold before. This has become a smugglers wet dream at this point. They can’t bring enough to keep up with demand and it’s so potent that the space used to transport is bringing in more of the desired drug in the same amount of space. We wonder why it’s all so ubiquitous at this point but the proof is in the pudding. If you know anyone in the dea just ask them. It’s out of control. Worse yet, it’s completely overtaken the opioid epidemic, no one wants heroin anymore because it’s weaker than fent, and the US Army which was responsible for bringing so much of it in, pulled out of Afghanistan so that source as all but dried up. Also it’s a practicality thing. A key of heroin can go for upwards of 100 thousand dollars, mostly because of the amount of water needed to grow poppy’s combined with the absurd amount of land needed. Where fentanyl is synthetic and made in a laboratory so the same kilo gram brick might cost a distributor about 10 thousand dollars. But they’re still getting the same 100 dollars a gram from their customers. It’s a financial wet dream tbh and one that isn’t going away from the drug market anytime soon. Sure overdoses are up, but that’s honestly a small cost of doing business and one that weighs in the conscious very lightly when their already in the business of ruining lives. Most consumers will tell you they haven’t seen real heroin for years and that it’s all fentynal and their addictions are all the point that it’s what their body requires. You know things are real bad when medial professionals are longing for the days of heroin because of how much less damage they see compared to the current fentanyl crisis

      @@rob_m Thank you so much for your kind words. I guess because my Dad was (ironically) a police officer, I could see how helpless they were fighting a losing battle. Around the 2000s the Tory government decided to stop treating addicts on the NHS and to use the charitable sector instead (I say charitable, it was basically companies set up as charities) This caused funding for addiction to plummet and wait times to skyrocket. I'm coming off the last bit of methadone, I see a drug worker for 5mins every month, that is all the help I get. I imagine it's worse in inner cities. But you are right, it isn't totally the government's fault but they really haven't helped much. Treatment today is putting people on Methadone, that's about it. Rehab places are super rare unless you can pay for it. Saying that I know that rehab is wasted on people who aren't ready to give up and Methadone does help give some stability, it just seems like the bare minimum is done.
