I’ve thought about H but I wont touch it and here’s why. I had a talk with an addict and he told me this about H: “Imagine this...this is what H is like...you could be under an overpass and be cold, wet, and depressed on a dark, rainy night and do a hit and everything would be juuuust fine.” Screw that! I’ve also seen heroin withdrawal first hand. Anyone who advocates that this drug is safe for regular use...well they are simply wrong. Dead wrong.

Excellent point

Here most H is cut with pinkie

Slang for fentanyl here

H turns pink when being prepared for injection when fentanyl is present

It’s killed several folks I knew of

Conflating possibly... but effectively the same... see below:

"Heroin is a synthetic substance that uses opium as it’s the primary active ingredient. The manufacturing process dictates manufacturers convert the opium into pure morphine, which then turns into chemically-changed heroin. The process produces a substance that has a higher level of potency than the opium extract. The higher potency leads to more euphoria and eventually, more significant problems."

weed can have serious health effects

Ditto for alcohol and tobacco. What of it?

"At 54, the married father of three has snorted small amounts of heroin for as many as 10 days in a row and enjoyed it mightily"

This won't last long. Massive heart attack incoming in 3...2...

And I bet Columbia does nothing. If he said he supported Trump they would have fired his butt in a minute, but this is OK, this is "progressive" dude.

You're right.

Junk is gnarly. It never fails to kill you and steal your soul

Junkies say “ a fate worse than death “

Good luck playing with death. Commie

You can never make an addicted person give up what's killing them. Only rigorous self honesty can do that. But not everyone is capable of being honest to themselves. Some can and some can't. My guess is this guy is a stone cold liar. He'll be found dead with a needle in his arm at some point.

I knew lots of them too, years ago. So many talented people long gone now.

Some were able to kick it but AIDS caught up with them and they died.

Some people can try it and walk away. An addict would be hooked after one try. But he does seem to be going to lengths to rationalize it.

Holmes poison was cocaine. Where did they get heroin from?

You would think Mexican cartels would hire better heroin chemists

Killing off ones customer base seems counterproductive to common sense

Maybe I’m missing something

Someone very close to one of my daughters last words were it’s turning pink it must be good

The police report said it had four times the lethal dose of fentanyl in it

I think Eric Bollings son in Denver took what it thought was a Xanax bar and it was cut with fentanyl at many times the lethal dose

Our worst risk in my day was I dunno

Bad acid

Colombian quaaludes that we’re really Valium

This fentanyl scourge scares me

I warm my kids a lot....

In an unregulated drug producing situation certainly quality control is not high on the list. In the old days heroin would come to the US one of two ways: From Turkey though Sicily by the Mafia and then here and in the late stages of the Vietnam War black GI’s realized they could connect with Asian gangs who’d bring it here and there would be some measure of making sure it wasn’t ‘’stepped on’’ too much. Losing customers means losing money.

Now as you point out the Mexican cartels are doing and quality control means as much to them as a string of pearls does to an ape.

I’d never heard of fentanyl until recently. I had no idea how lethal it was. From what I understand a match head of the stuff is enough to kill a 200 lb. adult.

Funny how this character is getting away with committing numerous felonies without so much as a by your leave from the authorities.

That would be my question. I've never heard just what exactly the health risks of cannabis are. Unlike alcohol, which has no medicinal benefits what so ever cannabis does.

Didn’t read article. Is heroin legal in his state?
