Colorado has a drug problem? Why??
If they would just legalize marijuana.......
Thirty other states have a problem with this TOO, but you gotta be obsessed with Colorado, Mr. Fife.
Guess who won Colorado.
From the article:
Some synthetic opioids are so potent that first responders have been killed just touching them.
.
China is currently waging the “Opium War” against the West. Almost all the raw materials of the deadly synthetic drugs are from China.
2 people dying does not make a “drug problem”. Neither does the government’s inability to declare any and every new concoction illegal as soon as it is created.
Interesting. Who knew?
Your obsession with Colorado continues, Ethan. As does the problem of illegal drugs. Trillions of dollars spent on the WoD & it’s an epic fail. Yet we left the poppy fields in Afghanistan alone when we had the chance to actually significantly hurt the heroin supply. SMH
My God this is science fiction, what was the movie with James Kahn as a cop with the alien partner?
“synthetic opioids...”
Oh. I thought they were talking Coors for a minute.
U-47700, street name pinky or pink, is an opioid analgesic drug developed by a team at Upjohn in the 1970s[1] that acts as a selective agonist of the µ-opioid receptor with a Kd value of 5.3 nM compared to 910 nM for the κ-opioid receptor[2][3] and has around 7.5 x the potency of morphine in animal models.[4][5][6]
U-47700 is a structural isomer of the earlier opioid AH-7921[7] and the result of a great deal of work elucidating the quantitative structure–activity relationship of the scaffold. Upjohn looked for the key moieties which gave the greatest activity[8] and posted over a dozen patents on related compounds, each optimizing one moiety[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] until they discovered that U-47700 was the most active.[17]
U-47700 became the lead compound of selective kappa-opioid receptor ligands such as U-50488, U-51754 (containing a single methylene spacer difference) and U-69,593, which share very similar structures.[18][2] Although not used medically, the selective kappa ligands are used in research.[19][20]
lol... wtf???
What’s wrong with this new drug? I think it’s a new way to “take out the trash.”
