How are people ingesting it? Is it only with drugs like heroin or is it in other things?
Supposedly, the powder is so potent, police have died just by touching the stuff without gloves.
It’s getting mixed into cocaine for sure.
They are cutting heroin and cocaine and meth with it. Have even heard of it being in some pot.
With heroin, it gives them a super high. Heroin addicts are always looking for that 1st high feeling. Fetanyl helps that. Problem is that when it is mixed, it is unknown how much is in each dose. Then the users hear about someone OD’ing and look for that source cuz it means it is “good”.
Addicts are also trying to avoid getting “sick”.
As an aside, a great many of the deadly overdoses are people who have tried to quit (rehab can cost $30K a month so most have to try cold turkey or some sort of out patient). So, if an addict hasn’t used for awhile and falls off the wagon, their “usual” dose can kill them because their tolerance is not as high.
We lost a wonderful, damaged young woman last year. She had quit and was trying to get her life together. I am guessing one of her so-called friends (people know who but no proof) suggested they party. She did it and her father found her the next morning.
People love to think of addicts as losers and so on. It is easier to think that than to accept that many are not. They have made extremely bad choices and they are ones that are painful to rectify. But for the Grace of God go you or I or any of our loved ones. I wish there were more available resources for those who want out of that cycle.
That last bit was not directed at vivenne but in general.
