The notion that you could overdose from smoking dope like that is so crazy to me.
Back over a decade ago before I quit, it was basically common knowledge that you couldn't realistically overdose and die from smoking H on foil because you'd pass out and just fall asleep before you could physically smoke enough to OD.
Everyone back in my group knew that you only started running the risk of a serious OD when you started shooting it. The only people I knew from back in the day who OD'd and actually died were people who were really deep into the stages of addiction and shooting up large doses basically daily.
To OD and DIE? From SMOKING it? That's shocking, even to me as someone who can think of at least 3 friends who died from opiate ODs.
That's something that only happens with fentanyl because it's 50x the potency of H and 100x the potency of morphine.
I think it has to do with potency and you never know the quality and whether it's pure or mix with something else. You know about the stuff from China. It might be mix with something else.
The unknown potency is a huge factor too. You never know what you get when you buy black market. But also if it was really heavily cut with something then you might also have trouble smoking enough to actually OD.
The fact is it used to be the fact that people were so squeamish about needles and really didn't want to take that next step which is what kept a lot of people's habits from getting totally out of hand.
You started smoking it, where there was minimal risk of OD, then once you got hooked real bad and realized you were getting the shakes when you stopped using it you either got help and quit, or you started shooting and it got real bad because you started needing to stretch stuff as long as it would go to save money.
You didn't have these situations where people would be smoking off of some foil and accidentally OD.
The part that drives me the craziest about this is that no opiate user would ever willingly buy fent that's been spiked with that xylazine shit they're putting in it now. This is a problem that only exists because of black markets and prohibition.
If you regulated it, you could at least regulate it sensibly with restrictions on how the ultra-extreme weapons-grade potency opiates could be sold so a lot of these accidental overdoses don't happen and people have an opportunity to get help.
Did they leave SF and move to a nice clean town and then complain that there's not enough blacks and the people are all stupid trump supporters and no one wears masks and it's boring feeling safe all the time and it smells like diesel fuel rather than human feces and there's only Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Indian, Thai, Italian, and 20 Mexican restaurants but no vegan Burmese restaurant?
I bet they are moving to Florida. Before 2019 a man ( a leftist) who was in the military, I know he had a big rank in the marines, left Napa to live in North Carolina, now take a look North Carolina he is getting more and more leftist. They destroy everything. I know for sure their goal every time they move to our conservative states is to turn it into San Francisco.
All the states are red, but these creeps cheat on the elections and after that they know for sure that it is going to be for good. I believe their time is almost over.
I would have told the police department "OK... if it will take you until tomorrow, I'm going to move the body to the side of the driveway ". Then... move the body.
If they have any objections, the police better say so before I hang up.
I remember watching a video about a refurbishing shop in Portland. They redid old light and door fixtures. The storefront was a work of art and showed the pristine downtown area. The man running it said we want people to visit but DONT MOVE HERE.
Well, tthey did and they ruined it.
That's really very sad. I'm afraid of drug users and won't go near one. But that being said, they're still human beings and why can't the cops pick up their corpses? You could probably get a faster response from animal control if you found a dead dog in the street.
This is just so wrong on so many levels. Dead people shouldn't be lying in the streets in America. This isn't how it's supposed to be. We can do better.
This is downtown Portland and dead body

I am glad you left that, God is protecting you.

They are now laced with all kinds of poison.
AND IT MATTERS NOT WHAT ANY OPIOID OR HARD "DRUGS" are laced with...one is taking their life in their own hands!!!!!!
Get rid of the Fentanyl and help the addicts get off the stuff they just MIGHT have a chance!!!!!
BUT DRYING UP THE FENTANYL IS A START!!!!!
He wasn't a 'Person of Interest'. 😮
Just despicable. God must be crying.
It is getting horrible in our streets. Pray for them.
Yes, I pray.

Howls. I don't know.
I left SF long time again.
I bet they are moving to Florida. Before 2019 a man ( a leftist) who was in the military, I know he had a big rank in the marines, left Napa to live in North Carolina, now take a look North Carolina he is getting more and more leftist.

Everything they touch turned to shit.
Definitely, demons lied killed and cheat.
Definitely.
You got that right, Vermont used to be solid Red, till the influx of leftards from MA and NY turned it into NeoFrisco.
All the states are red, but these creeps cheat on the elections and after that they know for sure that it is going to be for good. I believe their time is almost over.

It's such a sad situation. How could it be that casual for human lives? I just cannot believe it.
Believe it. I used to ahve to go to LA and SF every year on business. I have seen it, and much more that the MSM never seems to notice,
You would know.

They definitely ruined Portland

SF, no, you probably will not get anything faster.
