  • A new synthetic opiate has killed dozens of European heroin users. Nitazenes, which are up to 300 times more potent than heroin, are increasingly showing up in the continent’s drug supply, sparking fears that they could fuel a surge of overdoses, on par with North America’s fentanyl crisis.

      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

      You could call the would be supplers, compertition. But the war is not against compertition but against the free flow and free uncontrolled supply or flooding of a country's own regulated supplys. If a group with-in a country had a ware house the size of a mountain brimming to the cealing with nacotic drugs legally with in their own country. Then that would likely be no problem if bussiness was conducted legitamately. The war against drugs is not against those but is against offenders trying to by-pass federal importation control laws. IE illegal smugglers totally unprepraed to contribute to a health care system or doctors bills ETC when the suffering start to go really wrong. In the case of the illegal smuggle (competition) their supply is a form of victimisation rather than proper medical help. Their interests are purly money and not health. So sorry. But yes there has been a 'war against illegal drugs'. You could benefit from reading some of the storys of those serving long prison sentences.

    I won’t sugar coat this or make it reader friendly.
    My brother died yesterday from a possible drug overdose on my grandmothers couch. He died with his cousin sitting beside him, uncle in another room, and grandmother another room down. Before they realized it, he was gone! A few seconds -minutes it went from simple Tuesday to a crime scene. Once those drugs enter your body, without proper medical intervention- YOU ARE DEAD! Someone who didn’t know him, love him, or care about him gave him drugs that would kill him ALL for a quick buck.
    I am currently sitting outside still unable to process. I don’t think people understand the severity of this situation. Drugs do not discriminate. Death does not discriminate.
    If there is anyone out there struggling with addiction get help. Anyone in recovery and seeing the signs that you may possibly relapse, get help!
    If you think your loved ones won’t understand try them or reach out and get help. NO ONE can understand, listen, or work with you if you don’t REACH OUT and get help.
    You are not alone. You are worth it.
    He definitely was!

      @@MultiSciGeek You stated 'the pharmaceutical companies and doctors are who introduces people In the US to heroin use'. Almost as if you blaimed or accused US pharmaceutical companies and doctors of being one of the key groups behind the US problem. But are there therefore no regulatory laws in the USA? Is heroin not a controlled substance as it is over here in England requiring a licence as well as qualification to distribute or prescribe. So therefore heroin or opiates is a prescription only drug which can only be prescribe by qualified and licenced dorctors? So how is it that they as you stated are behind an epidemic of illegal uncontrolled non qualified use by those poor supposed addicts. The doctors are only permitted to prescribe for medical reasons and so any opioid prescriptions are for servea medical needs. The US pharmaceutical companies are not pushing street drugs or drugs for illegal purposes. Their licence to supply is dependant upon their supplys being to only prescription cases when the drug is prescription only. Those junkies you see in the video cooking up their junk on tin foil is some derilict environment are users of the underground black market buying from unlicenced non qualified criminals. Is that not how it is really? See that guy at 10:47 using strrt methods! If a qualified doctor prescribed and instructed him to do that then the doctor could be struck off and lose nearly $100,000 dollars per annum legitamate income.

There are many instances of natural selection and taking dangerous drugs is definitely in the category. Let me guess, it’s probably someone else’s fault and these people wouldn’t be dying if the drug wasn’t invented; see that’s the thing about natural selection and how it only affects stupid people; if they didn’t have this drug, they’d find something else.

    I was using heroin for 18 years and been clean for 2+ years now, I watched the Opioid pandemic slowly turn from Heroin into fentanyl, what happened was the dealers start cutting the heroin with it and in no time at all the users need the fentanyl more than the heroin. They start to look for the fentanyl because heroin isn’t strong enough and doesn’t stop enough of the withdrawal from the fentanyl. Most of the users that switch from heroin to fentanyl don’t do it because they like fentanyl more they do it because they will be dope sick if they don’t. Most heroin users will tell you they want pure heroin but you can barely even find it in America anymore and if you do it’s weak heroin. So glad I am not a prisoner anymore.

We issue take home narcan kits which contain enough naloxone in a pre filled syringe to take most regular users right through into cold turkey. We have begun again in the last few months getting calls saying they have given the entire syringe and the person began to wake up but they tanked again. All we can do is attempt to give more (IV access is likely to be incredibly difficult for us on someone who has bashed the hell out of their veins for years) support their breathing to avoid hypoxic brain injury and bolt to the hospital.

    I’m now a defense attorney but for 10 years I was a probation officer in Massachusetts. I remember when the transition from heroin to fentanyl started. First it was that heroin was cut with fentanyl. then over about a 12-18 month period, heroin disappeared. My last few years as a probation officer not a single person tested positive for morphine (the most common metabolite in heroin). It was all fentanyl. Overdoses rose like crazy. Incredibly sad.

And you have to find out the appropriate dose and have a safe supply, you learn this by talking to people who have experience. There are so many drug poisonings that happen for people like you who stay away mostly and then one day try it without being taught the basics. Coffee is a dangerous drug also and will cause a heart attack fatality if you take the wrong dose of caffeine. Knowledge is what will keep you safe, not being pure.

I dont imagine you could do this in USA as there are way to many of such users but here it works quite well.
