I overdosed on Fentanyl last year. Had been stupidly trying to use it to replace the sedatives I was otherwise addicted to and to reduce low back pain.
Medical marijuana has been a gift to me throughout this process and I am nearer to sober with it than I have been since I was a teenager.
More kids will always be getting into drugs so doing nothing, fixes nothing.
There are no actual good arguments against wider distribution of Narcan, clean needles, and legalizing recreational or widely available medical marijuana at this point. The toxicity is due to the dose. With pills, you are getting it pre-measured. Illicit status just makes the dose a user takes much more variable and with opiates that dose can be very small.
these aren't overdoses. these are poisonings. someone is poisoning people.
>that fent comes from china

I'd honestly say you underdosed if you're posting here.

In a drug addict, kratom saved my life. People can talk shit all they want, I'm a single dad, working his ass off because of kratom and marijuana

Do us all a favor and overdose 1 more time

I guess you missed out on the meth problem
Logan Morgan
I wasn't trying to OD. In fact I was trying not to. Previously I had been using an pulse oximeter to make sure I didn't and I went over to a family member's house and didn't bring it. It was a poor decision, but not an intentional overdose.
Christopher Johnson
Payback for extraditing chapo
Justin Phillips
I'll take that as a compliment.
>twenty-something complaining about back pain Of course you take drugs, people are laughing at you. But you take them because you're poor. I use a hot compress to deal with back pain which I am 100% sure is much worse than your addict pangs.
Camden Roberts
Well you are an annoying young shitposter, but one thing is right. Fentanyl is very cheap and that's a big part of this.
David Ramirez
>cocaine >meth >killing people Bullshit. Not in those numbers. Makes me think the whole graph is skewed.
Then again, Your graph says "involved in" meaning the drug listed does not have to be the cause of the OD, just be in the blood toxicological report at autopsy. Misleading.
Joseph Davis
Why don't you have a pain management doctor if you're so fucked up? I see a specialist who treats nothing but chronic pain. I get fentanyl tape. Its amazing stuff.
Easton Perry
Well, my pain has gone down significantly since then and I never really liked opiates. I wasn't using them all the time. I bought one low-dose fentanyl product online, liked it, and bought another higher dose one, partially because it was so cheap, overdosed once, and haven't used anything but cannabis since.
Ryder Baker
I wish you had died, you druggy retard.
David Morgan
>I do toxic drugs >Wait, this affected me negatively?!?
Joseph Bailey
Well I'm not here just to be a cunt. Ketamine was the only drug that helped me. When I was coming off oxys I used ondansetron I bought from a nurse, could even hold food down. Also pot and booze for the interim times where I don't have access to "real medicine" but let's be honest you can't live like that.
Aaron Campbell
Shame you didn't kill yourself, degenerate. There's no room for your kind here.
Wyatt King
Actually I have idea, why dont we start killing druggy retards instead of trying to save or rehab them?
Do you honestly think these pieces of shit will ever contribute anything to society? No. Fuck em.
Bullets for druggies.
Luke Smith
The only way you can OD on the tape is if you put a long piece on the soles of your feet, or palms of your hands. I guess you could eat it maybe, I dunno. Works great if you use it correctly.
Robert Ramirez
tape?
Jayden Myers
So you were illegally and recreationally taking highly addictive drugs you bought online from China without a prescription?
I really don't see how you could possibly be offended that people in this thread started making fun of you and saying you had it coming...
Noah Carter
>What is a Duerte
Oliver Walker
Not from China.
Jace Sanders
it's not a good thing. we are under attack. opiates target specific types of people.
Charles Reyes
Survival of the fittest, the weak should fear the strong :^)
Blake Hill
Seriously though. It's the utimate blue pill that people turn to when they've had too many red pills and the chinese are happy to give it to them.
We need those people who have OD'd on redpills alive. They make great OPs.
Who cares let the junkies die. Population control, let the cancer die. No sympathy at all. Losers.
Julian Campbell
Transdermal tape.
Ayden Wood
ISIS actually looked into creating dirty bombs with fentanyl, but realized that how high the street value was so they decided to just sell it for additional funding.
Colton Carter
Different from a patch?
Jaxon Williams
>you were illegally Laws mean nothing nowadays. Any "drug" can be banned on a whim here in the US without any votes or voter approval.
>you were recreationally And? So what if he was? Recreation is why we do lots of dangerous things. Bungee jumping, surfing, skydiving, etc. Anything good has risk. The only problem with drug is simply that the government forces taxpayers to pay for mistakes.
>taking highly addictive drugs Like nicotine? Ethanol? Caffeine? Addictive potential means little. How many people here would lose their nut if Sup Forums and all the other Sup Forumss were shut down? Many of you would go so insane you'd start invading other boards. Talk about addiction.
Wyatt Young
If they were produced domestically for medical use, it shouldn't have been that hard to get the dose right.
Let me redact my statement to: You bought drugs online that were originally produced in China or an a equally shitty drug lab somewhere?
Anyway, there's no stopping Fentanyl ODs. It's cheap, it's potent, and nearly impossible to stop getting in to your country. Bought wholesale, an addict would only need about $5 USD for a day's worth. At this point, anyone that takes illicit painkillers has it coming, and there's very little the rest of society can do to stop you. I only feel bad for people whose doctor gave them it.
Jaxson Thomas
No I meant I bought from a domestic importer, not directly from the Chinese. It was a premixed nasal solution.
Luke Richardson
why would anyone ever do downers. Stims are where it's at
Julian Gomez
>Laws mean nothing nowadays. I'm pro drug legalization. My point was, that OP bought drugs he knew where highly addictive and took them anyway, recreationally. It would be a different story he didn't know what he was taking.
>And? So what if he was? Recreation is why we do lots of dangerous things. False equivalence. None of the above things, or common drugs are as dangerous as Fentantyl. If you jumped out of a plane without a parachute, you shouldn't expect other people to say 'it's not your fault'.
>The government forces taxpayers to pay for mistakes. Yes, that's even more irresponsible for you to use them to begin with. Willfully hurting taxpayers.
>Like nicotine? Ethanol? Caffeine? Another false equivalence, with the exception of Ethanol, which is only highly addictive to a minority of the population. Sup Forums isn't physically addictive, and most of the above things are not as dangerous, so, don't take something that is both addictive and dangerous, obviously.
Jason Butler
isn't this just retards removing themselves from the gene pool? who cares
Luke Baker
Nothing felt better than Ambien, as crazy as that sounds. Even Fentanyl. When I got out of the hospital after overdosing I had some in the mail but I was off to rehab a few days later.
Isaac Peterson
It wasn't the crack. It was blacks selling and, doing crack that killed blacks.
Adrian Walker
I hope you do something I don't like so I can fucking kill you too. Cunt
Daniel Watson
Because being in pain sucks, I don't want to be in pain all the time.

I know right. It's like people haven't done any independent research. Legally of course.

Ok way to deflect my point. Overdoses on crack cocaine is extremely rare. Most of the deaths related are from black on black crime. Low iq people should stay far away from drugs.

How do you know that? Plenty of people have abused drugs, gotten sober, and gone on to do great things with their lives.

It's probably the same thing, but the tape comes in perforated strips of 10 doses. Like LSD!

you'd have to be a literal idiot
Samuel Wright
the leaf thinks that a chinese chemical weapons attack is somehow good because some people thought they could get high off it.
Nolan Gray
nowhere near the percentage who have never abused drugs and gone on to do great things with their lives.
Elijah Johnson
The idea is that when the problem >Solves itself Is that these people, and said culture/genes, dies off. Of course empathic medical practices is stopping this... But given that you'd rather make softer options easier accessible out of self interest(ignoring it makes the lifestyle more accessible to more and more people) I'd say society is well on it's way to becoming more self centred... The guise being that stripping funding from health services will be the greater good so money can be given to the largest voting block.

No, but removing the consequences of ALL bad choices infinitely creates worse consequences. The prisoners dilemma is difficult choice till you realize enough picking the ship jumping option might as well make freedom a prison.

Fentanyl is highly resistant to Naloxone, which is used to bring people out of ODs, I've heard of EMTs having to inject Naxolone 9+ times for it to take effect.
Basically ODing on Fentanyl is a death sentence.
Charles Lopez
I don't care about your appeal to authority nonsense. The fact is, there are psychologically addictive and physically addictive substances. Of the physically addictive substances, some are more addictive than others. It's dependant on how the substance interferes with the dopamine receptors in your brains reward circuit and the physical dependence of your body.
Carter Bennett
It's a bit more complicated than that. Dopamine agonism is the big driver, but there are others involved as well. Alcohol is hugely addictive, and not just for certain people. GABAnergic drugs like ethanol are as bad as opioids overall. Not quite as addictive, but far more dangerous(read: potentially LETHAL) in withdrawal.
That was my only gripe with your above post. Never understate the negative effects of booze. As for me, I agree. Legalize everything, remove the burden from taxpayers, let nature sort the problem out.
