remember folks if celebs can't get clean drugs, neither can you.
man I used to do cocaine in my 20s and I'm glad I stopped. probably would be dead by now.
It's totally out of context but I beg to differ, I did get clean fetanyl. However, the reason was an emergency, not that I wanted to have it.
Would totally not recommend for various reasons.
I'm in the middle of a bender and it's so hard.
The biggest predictor of success in overcoming any addiction is number of previous attempts to quit. Even if you don't succeed, you're one step closer. Failure is only ever truly failure if you let it be the last attempt. Otherwise, it's just a setback on the path to success.
Thanks
It's work, but you can make it. From personal perspective, it's worth giving up everything your mind might be fooling you into believing you'll lose.
If you can't do it alone, I know I couldn't, get help. If you can get into a good rehab center where you can safely detox and get counseling while you plan for sobriety all the better. Many of those have some kind of financial plan if insurance doesn't cover it or just doesn't exist.
You can do it, friend.
Never give up.
That’s why you always test your supply before you get high
I have heard even that isn’t risk free as you can just test a clean patch of your supply and miss testing the portion with the minuscule OD quantity of fent as it’s so potent.
The only way to rule out fentanyl hotspots in drugs is to dissolve it all in water, shake the solution very well, then test. It would probably make you very uncool at parties but you would have a lot less chance of dying.
You used a jet flame to light your cigarette.
They used a lit butane gas tank to light their cigarettes.
Not all drugs are equally dangerous. Fentanyl is one of the craziest ones. Look up how small the lethal dose is.
I ODed on fent while in the ICU having it as a prescription! You can just become sensitive to it and die too
Wait, I didn’t know that you can get sensitive to it. At least they knew what they were doing and could help you with a bit of swearing and good ol’ adrenaline
Yes, many things work like that, the more you’re exposed to something the more likely you are to have an adverse reaction. Especially in situations like mine or people who haven’t built up a tolerance it’s a real risk.
There's a lot more (ex)nurses with latex allergies than people are probably aware of.
People don't use drugs for fun. They use them to treat physical and psychological pain. The solution isn't related to personal responsibility; that goes right out the window when you're desperate for relief. The solution is universal healthcare.
I also do drugs for fun.
I used to do drugs for fun.
I still do. But I used to, too.
That’s a pretty big over generalization.
I use drugs for fun once every year or two. I know plenty of similar people.
I’ll grant that the vast majority of daily drug users (including alcohol) don’t do it for fun.
Lol nah. The lsd/mdma was def fun af would do again if safe.
That's just plain wrong, many only use them for fun. If the solution to no one using drugs was universal health care then there would be no drug use in the many countries that has universal health care. The fact that you somehow didn't think of this makes it real obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.
Lotta people with psychological pain showing up arguing that they use drugs for fun. Go off, kings. Does the high come from the drug itself or from not knowing if the fillers will kill you?
It's very obvious that you're assuming things and rejecting contradictory evidence and it's also very obvious that you're wrong.
"evidence"
Yes, evidence. Your use of quotes doesn't unmake it.
Every drug I've ever done was explicitly for fun.
I definitely do drugs for fun though..
Some people, sure. Rather an awful lot of people do just get high, to get high.
