@Amy Beaver it will only be important if it causes a large number of Americans who currently obsess over drug seizures at the border to listen to what me and others are trying to tell the public. That the amount seized is a drop in the bucket. The heroin supply is fully supplanted by fentanyl and now xylazine, due to our drug policy pushing prices (and thus profits) into the stratosphere. And the deaths keep coming, day in, day out, and will continue. They don't have to, I promise you. There's not a perfect solution, but we can do so very much better. It's too late for a lot of people, including many close to me. I don't want others to die, and I don't wish that grief on anyone. But I'm truly sad that I don't expect any meaningful change within my lifetime. Maybe I can help drive the stigma down slightly, because that is IMHO the biggest obstacle. Do you know why so many addicts and others who want help desperately don't seek it out voluntarily? Because they, for instance, don't want to go to a clinic that is entirely profit-driven, that's based on a punitive system, that does not treat people with dignity. And don't take my word for it. Check to see what their lobbyists have done to ensure that no legislation passes that would allow an opioid user to see their doctor directly and get medication that works for them. Like you can. Ask them why they use racemic methadone instead of the useful isomer (it's cheaper). But I'll tell you what that does over the course of many years (one thing anyway, something I have personal experience of): it disrupts calcium ion transport in the gums, and will make one's teeth fall out, and in a very bad, very painful, and very self-image destroying way. They'll likely point to the sugar in the formulation, or junkies' terrible hygiene. But they'd be lying. It took me quite a while before I was able to talk to one of the older physicians that's works in the clinic program about that. But he did eventually tell me that he hadn't seen such problems, not nearly as severe, before regulations on generic medications were relaxed and they switched to racemic. You can talk to your doctor about what sort of medication works for you. I can’t. Take it or leave it. And keep paying that bill in cash out of one pocket and we’ll grab that sweet ACA cash out of the other, as long as we file the proper paperwork of x number of drug tests per year per patient. Never mind that the place fills up with people, half have COVID and don’t bother with masks, and they’ll take as long as they need to get the paperwork done because they’re a business, and the goal is to make money, not to worry about that trash in the waiting room, even though some are supposed to be at work now. Screw them. I could go on. There’s plenty more I’ve written in just this thread if you care to read it. Read on if you’d like to know what it’s like to have to grind down an exposed root canal post with a mirror and a power tool because the decay is so severe that everything crumbled away at once. So not only does one get to experience the pain of a dental abscess, but has to act in desperation because there’s no dentist to go to now, and that post will otherwise tear your lower lip off. I’m not angry at you personally. I’m angry, that’s true. There are plenty of monsters in these comments who like to mock drug addicts. What I will ask you to do is take a moment and ask yourself seriously: Am I OK with this?

Very fascinating to see this news outlet finally covering something meaningful, a little too late but it is what it is.

I am a recovering opiate addict, and I stole one of my aunts prescribed fentanyl patches and put it on, I wore it for half an hour but had a bad feeling (didn't really know the dangers I know now), I took it off after half an hour before it could take effect, and I'm so glad I did, I still get shivers thinking about how close I could have come to death.

The current state of affairs in America reveals a concerning pattern of decline that seems to be slipping under the radar of public awareness. The staggering rise in opioid-related deaths, reaching an alarming 100,000 per year, serves as a grim indicator of a nation grappling with a deep-rooted drug crisis. As a ripple effect, the homelessness crisis continues to escalate, with the drug problem serving as a catalyst for individuals finding themselves without stable homes. This growing issue, which was once unimaginable just a few years ago, is now becoming an unsettling norm that demands attention. Equally unsettling is the erosion of societal values and the breakdown of law and order. Instances of brazen crime, where individuals unabashedly seize whatever they desire, highlight a sense of lawlessness that is increasingly taking hold. The erosion of parental authority over their children's health and well-being within the education system adds another layer of concern, as schools take it upon themselves to make life-altering decisions for young minds. Moreover, the politicization of the justice system is raising eyebrows and deepening the decline. The attempt to hinder the political opposition by levying multiple charges and attempting to bar them from running for office indicates a distortion of democratic principles that were once upheld with fervor. In essence, this amalgamation of issues paints a picture of a nation in decline, one that is facing significant challenges across various fronts. The disconcerting aspect is that, had this scenario unfolded merely a few years ago, the collective outcry would likely have been resounding. However, the current state of affairs appears to be met with a degree of complacency or perhaps even a lack of realization. Addressing these concerns and reversing this trajectory of decline will necessitate a collective recognition of the issues at hand and a concerted effort to prioritize solutions. It requires rekindling a sense of unity, holding institutions accountable, and upholding the principles that have historically been the foundation of America's strength and resilience.

If they see anything such as suboxone or methadone being prescribed then it's pretty obvious, but even a combination of drugs such as clonidine, baclofen, ondansetron, and hydroxyzine being prescribed at once would be a dead giveaway that that person is an opioid addict because it's the exact sort of cocktail that opioid addicts are given in rehab to help them detox more comfortably. It helps with more than just addicts though. Certain drugs could also give someone away as being bipolar, which would be a good thing to know so that doctors avoid prescribing SSRIs and other drugs which could trigger manic episodes. It's just a good standard to have in place. It keeps the honest honest, if you will.

Or you really think China's gov sat around in a room like the British parliament, voting to decide how to force another country to take its opium? Mind you, the British invaded, looted, and coloznied Hong Kong when China imposed a ban on British opium traders. This history is why China and so many Asian countries (with Chinese refugees from the opium wars) have such deep scars from drugs that drugs are heavily penalised in their countries. China got 1.4 billion people, some of them are gonna be bad, and they're gonna be shipping illicit supplies to countries to willing, happy buyers with governments who do not give a crap about their people. Yall got nobody to blame for the drug problem in the US except the US gov. They allowed the problem to become this bad without doing anything.

This is true for most of history.

i remember detoxing from both benzo and opiates and was so bad. today im 57 days clean from methadone and 15 years clean from benzos

Was addicted for about only 4 years thankfully, am now 3 years sober, I was to the point to where smoking a whole pill would only give me a 15 minute high and I’d have to smoke another one, it was horrible, I’d probably die now if I took even a grain.

The problem too with Fent, is that because it wears off so quickly. You need to use more times a day, where a heroin user would use maybe 2 times max a day and they don't need to re-dose. Also if you were using any weaker opiates, like Heroin. You would basically not get high off of it anymore because Fentanyl would make your tolerance increase by x50. So sad, as a Heroin user, in a country where we get clean Heroin, its sad to see how badly its effected the US and Canada! Apparently if you've made it through the flooding of the market in the US and Canada in the last 8 years, you are maybe 2/10 that survived the wave :( I promise you would be surprised how many people have used and how it can be a far less dangerous drug if the government are the ones controlling it, not just the production but instead of saying "NO TO DRUGS" teach kids about Narcan and about the drugs they're most likely to come in contact with in their teenage years, it being socially unacceptable makes people do it discreetly and in such a dangerous way! Being informed about what your going to use takes the chance of a OD and many other problems that people have to take... Because lets be honest, people are always going to be curious and some people are always going to try it at some point in their life... So why not be safe!

These kind of documentaries make it extremely difficult for people with chronic pain to obtain these pain killers. I for example suffer from interstitial cystitis and it is impossible for me to get opioid pain killers prescribed by my doctor because of the demonizing of these drugs by the media.

It's crucial to understand that addiction impacts individuals differently and various factors can influence the experience of withdrawal symptoms. As someone who has been addicted to fentanyl for almost four years, and prior to that, heroin for 14 years, I have built up a tolerance to the drug over time. When people claim that "fentanyl's effects disappear quickly, requiring users to re-dose every two to three hours," it may be inaccurate if they are referring to the onset of withdrawal symptoms rather than the duration of the high. In my experience, I have gone for up to 48 hours without using fentanyl due to financial constraints, but my mental state and ability to assess my physical sensations also played a significant role. When in the throes of addiction, it's easy to fall into a pattern of thinking where the only way to avoid withdrawal symptoms is to constantly use drugs. But what I've learned through my experience is that this is not always the case. By being more aware of my body and separating physical sensations from the mental aspects of addiction, I was able to better manage my cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Of course, this is easier said than done. Addiction is a complex and powerful force that can be difficult to overcome without support. Seeking professional help, building a strong support network, and practicing self-care are all crucial steps towards recovery. I acknowledge that my active addiction of almost 20 years may cause skepticism towards my views on recovery. However, I hope to offer insight to those who have lived a similar life to mine by sharing my personal experiences and discussions with individuals both in and out of addiction who have found ways to abstain from relapse

The truth of the matter is the drug problem will never get better. We're human beings

Fentanyl is becoming more common in New Zealand too. There is an epidemic here. China also fuels South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand as well as the United States. It's cheaper than some ingredients used to make Methamphetamine.

But here in Europe its extremely rare, they refuse to import that. We go east for our H, rather than to SA which maybe why.

@@MK-tx6te I wouldn't say it's "rare" not to have it in Europe. Because you have Turkiye importing large quantities of opioids and methamphetamine which contains Fentanyl. Turkiye is in the top 5 largest drug exporters in the world lol. It's everywhere. Nowhere is safe.

I had fentanyl for a biopsy and it knocked me out, but I don't remember feeling good or different. I awoke as if nothing happened. If they'd OD me, I never would have known.

Had to do it for an ambulance ride (am allergic to regular opioids) and it did exactly nothing for my pain, and I wasn't impaired by it at all. The hospital mistakenly thought I was a drug addict and delayed my surgery, suing them right now.

So sad all the people that have and will die from these evil drugs..

I don’t know what the Chinese government is doing or not. But I’m looking at some of the comments and I think people really need to look at the history of the relationship between China and West and heroin. I’m not saying it justifies it but they’re just following how they were shown to behave.

中国贩毒死刑，美国呢？自己思考思考吧，美国大麻都合法了，现在跑过来怪中国生产合法药物出口。笑死，中国还是世界最大感冒药原料生产国呢。感冒药照样能变成毒品，美国是不是也要责怪中国啊？

There's one particular analogue that could help with addiction as this one novel analogue doesn't have bad withdrawal symptoms actually no bad withdrawal symptoms Could be used to take people off this scourge

Never done fentanyl or any hard drugs. It’s interesting to hear that we have “watered” down cocaine here in the states, and that many people are just unaware so they’re content with the high they get. I wonder what the differences are and if active users can distinguish between the two. Interesting video. Thanks for staying on top, Vice!

I’d say for sure they can tell the difference if they’ve had the high test stuff before. I know I could.

I've had cocaine from all over South America, I've even done acetone washes on my coke to make it almost 100% pure. The stuff I can get now is expensive but it is really, really good. This is in the bay area of CA. So yeah, some people may not know, but if you know, you know.

Distinguish between cut and pure cocaine or distinguish between coke and fetty?
