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.
brain_dead...some start out with..."I'll ONLY use this one time" then all of a sudden they are addicted...Fen-Fen is ONE of those NASTY drugs, besides heroin, that can get one addicted rather quickly...
NOTE: That is why so many Vietnam GIs who came back were addicted to the Thailand Heroin...and that's when the piss tests started for drugs!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT YOU ARE QUITE CORRECT ABOUT NOT DOING IT TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!
Nobody would willingly do fent in a regulated market. Junkies only do fent because they're already hooked on prescriptions and what not and that's all that's available.
That xylazine stuff is a vasoconstrictor that causes skin lesions, opiates don't do that. Clean and pure opiates will not make your skin rot off your arms like that.
Xylazine also is physically incapacitating and makes people get completely locked into their bodies, opiates don't do that.
And narcan won't fix a OD-ing addict with xylazine in their system because it's not technically an opiate and so narcan won't reverse the effects.
No opiate addict would ever choose to do this stuff, it doesn't satisfy their opiate fix, and has little to no euphoria.
In a regulated system this problem would entirely go away. This is being pushed on people who have no option other than black market stuff pushed by cartels who are now in bed with China.

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!!!!!
Don't do it to begin with. LOL

It definitely matters.
