Fentanyl Lollipops, Opium Gum, & Brown Sugar - The Opioid Crisis Megathread

We should have a Heroin/Opioid epidemic thread. I think someone in one of these threads mentioned how the opioid epidemic wasn't actually an issue, but Camden had 16 overdoses in one hour on Wednesday lol.

If we would just sneak some fentanyl into the supply more often, people would die instead of just wasting space.

Oh you sneaky thread making bastards.

I'm kidding on my phone and woulda done it if I wasn't working.

Remember that dude that had excited delirium and got tased while handcuffed and died but they couldn't send medics in because it wasn't safe/secured yet.

Also NJ is retarded and all cops carry naloxone now and people can buy it at any pharmacy and people are overdosing more because more people have access to Narcan so they don't think they'll die also our laws are dumb and no one involved is charged with anything and the drugs are just confiscated/destroyed and the people can refuse further medical treatment after being revived and just go overdose again it's a great system works great.

AMA lol.

Can't we just let them die?

Totally serious here.

**chazzyphizzle** · 2017-08-12 12:38

And that's how people like Trump become president.

How can people not think it's an issue?

Doesn't happen in their backyard, therefore it doesn't happen.

People think that it's no worse than previous drug crises or only an actual issue cause white kids and people with money are dying this time around, but it's actually everyone without discrimination. From slums to rich families to brothers of detectives.

We have this wonderful Bon Jovi law that makes it so the person that calls for help when their friend overdoses can't get charged with anything. This encourages people to call more instead of just watching their friend die, no one gets arrested and no one has concequences so they just keep doing it. It's totally awesome.

My cousin died of a heroin overdose earlier this year. He'd been addicted for the last decade.

Even if people are directly affected by it, often they're unsympathetic. No one in my family had talked him recently because, at one point, he was so far gone that he'd pawned all of my grandmother's jewelry, and done a bunch of other stuff.

Shit's rough, and isn't going to get any better in the Trump era.

**Dimmauk** · 2017-08-12 16:03

Why can't people just stop being addicted like Trump says?

Let these weak plebs who need to be dependent on drugs to get through their menial lives just weed themselves out of the gene pool.

Trump finally declares the epidemic a public health emergency. Lasts 90 days and will receive no funding beyond what is already available ($57k).

Yes, this is a mess. Part of the problem is overprescription; I mean, I got a boil removed from my erm, butt (Around my tailbone, actually. Yes they knocked me out for that for some reason, never found out why) and I got a prescription for a narcotic.

...Which I did not take; it didn't hurt THAT bad, so I made do with Tylenol. And the narcotic ended up at the county jail (that's where they have a drug turn in thing).

According to a lot of sources, that's how it starts! Minor surgery or go in for pain, come out with narcotics and get hooked. Since I have had some nursing/nurse's aid training, this hurts to think that trying to help people just hurts them worse..

went in for a kidney stone, came out with a bottle - an entire prescription pill bottle (the small orange ones), full to the brim - of percoset.

thing is, I had already passed the stone. I was in no pain whatsoever. it was totally unnecessary.

unlike you, I did take them... over the course of a year, recreationally. never got addicted obvs, but I could see how some people would.
