20 overdoses in Cincinnati Tuesday night

[Wall2Boogie]

way to be cincinnati. This **** is crazy. I don't know if it will ever stop. I've been to too many funerals seeing friends from tee ball through highschool in their caskets and it's sick. I don't really know what the solution is because jail doesn't seem to work. Rehab is only for ones who truly want help. Methadone or subxone may work but you gotta work the program. Driving in Cincinnati you see more of these places opening because every ***** up there is pregnant as you see them standing on the sidewalk as you drive by.

All the junkies around here are caught with 3 things - heroin, fentanyl, and suboxone. Whoever makes fentanyl and suboxone is doing real well.

Gotta step up to beat Huntington, 26 in one day last week. Between the two events though, only one person died thanks to the new antidote.

Was getting ready to bring up Huntington and saw Q's post.

Yes there's some bad sh*t floating around out there evidently. That was bizarre

Only 1!

Great filth continues breathing and sucking the life out of all around them.

 

[joeyrupption]

The more overdoses, the less chance of them causing wrecks on the interstate.

Good riddance.

Seems like a problem that eventually resolves itself.

Really though, how the hell do you ever get hooked on heroin? I understand alcoholism. I understand why you'd do cocaine. But heroin? There's no good stories there. No one is a successful, functioning family man with a secret heroin habit. Who starts using? It's like really expensive suicide.

Fentynal is crazy ****. After I had major surgery they put me on the patch for a while it made me so sick. I see why people dig it but it was way too strong for me

Meanwhile the guy that developed Oxycontin is worth $14b.

I think the heroine epidemic is a direct correlation to crack down on prescription pain pills. These are not people who have no vices suddenly trying heroin. It addicts who can't either get their pain pills on the black market or can no longer afford them and are turning to a cheaper, stronger, more readily available high.

Once they try that black tar, there's no turning back.

Holy smokes

Man, it's really not good to think about this stuff. Nothing buries my soul quit like this ****. It's awful.

Fentanyl is like 100x stronger than heroin. Why does something like that need to exist in the first place?

 

[mashburned]

And how cheap is this **** that mf'ers are gladly cutting heroin with it? That's crazy. Stuff must be practically free. Or so good that once feigns get fentanyl heroin, they won't buy nothing else.

The best possible solution (not perfect, but best!) is to legalize it. The overdoses were caused by a very powerful tranquilizer that was cut with that batch that hit the streets in Cincy. We don't see those same health risks with legal substances. Legalize and regulate. That's how you control this. Stop making drug abuse a legal issue, and treat it as a public health issue.

Prohibition didn't work with alcohol, and it's not working with drug abuse. It will never work. We've been hard at work with the war on drugs for over 50 years. How much success have we seen? How much misery has it caused?

But people will say we're just not trying hard enough. Remind me again of that definition of insanity?

Visited my mom in NKY 4th of July and as we are coming in there are signs that say NKY HATES HEROIN. But I passed it rather quick and I thought it said NKY HATES HEBRON which made me think what the hell did Hebron do? Then I passed another sign.

How much money has been made?

It's just business.

Oh I agree. I just can't fathom how you can ever take that leap. Even if you're already hooked on other things. Can't imagine the kind of mental and physical dependence it must take to push you to that point.

Heroin is cheap and very easy to get addicted to. Unless you're buying premium straight from the source and cutting out the middle man, you're probably using some diluted garbage that's been cut with something like baking soda. That's why it's cheap. I've never tried heroin but I know people who have. They describe the high as better than sex. I've used other opioids in the past for injuries. Loved them. Almost got addicted. It's scary easy to succumb to opioid addiction. Heroin addicts are usually prescription pill graduates. I think what they're doing now though is cutting it with other opioids like fentanyl. Which is effin stupid and a death wish.

This.....................Legalize and Regulate.

How does that improve things? Does it really keep people out of jails? This gets rid of the dealers, correct, since they are replaced with retail outlets? What about the users?It seems like there would at least be the same number of addicts, same amount of crime to support the habit, same number of criminals. Who regulates it? I go to the doctor and ask for a prescription for heroin? Or do I go to CVS and pick some up next to a package of Metamucil? Does my prescription drug benefit pay for it? How about my Health Savings account? Can I pay for it with tax deferred dollars?

 

[PhattyJ4UK_rivals309166]

Opiates dont discriminate. Some of the best and some of the worst people in the world fall prey. Its especially easy for kids still in highschool who have no idea what an addict is to easily get hooked. Pop a few percocets on the weekend not knowing what youre getting into... that morphs into a few days/weeks in a row and before you even know it, youre effed.

Hear of another person i grew up with dying monthly. People i never would have expected. FCA type kids.

Are you serious? Read an article or watch a TV show/doc.

Cancer, basically. It's meant to be a super-powerful pain med for people who are past the point that even morphine is good enough.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Legalizing it would make it worse. The productivity of a people at work would decrease even less than it already is plus the **** will kill you. I don't think jail is the answer because they could still find it there and when they get out go right back to the dealer. Same goes for blow and meth except you might get more done since you won't eat or sleep. Watching that show intervention gives a glimpse into how bad it is a me can be. Rehab doesn't work unless you truly surrender and want it but you have to change the past life you knew. Personally I think subxone or methadone under strict regulated guidelines would be the better alternative. The current rules are a joke. They should be drug tested and if they fail send them straight to jail since they had a chance to get right. What has made this problem worse is the fact you can go to a pharmacy and buy narcan otc. As if it's ok to overdose because now that I have my narcan I can do 5 grams and live to tell about it. Canada has places set up for junkies to use clean needles and get high in peace that's messed up. The other day I was at the public library and in the bathroom was a needle dispensing box. When I went to the guns and roses concert there were garbage cans outside that had used needles coming out of the bottom it makes you sick and I feel terrible for anyone that has family or friends going through this. Oh and some more ********, in some states Medicaid pays for people to go to the clinc. Women in general who have popped out 3 kids and pregnant again literally live in a group home get a ride to and from the clinc and their doses paid for. I'm sure you can guess who is paying that bill. They stay pregnant to dose for free and get all the free **** they can.

I was on it. A doctor recommended it to me after having my chest cut open. It's a patch that slowly lets out medicine over 24 hours. Problem is, people cut them open and take it all at once to get high which usually leads to death. I was on it for a while because it took my chest a long time to heal. It was no picnic when I was taken off of it you really do feel like **** and it's not just for 24 hours. If I ever have to have pain meds again fentynal would be the last thing I would ever want to be on, that or methadone. One killed Anna Nichole the other killed Prince

God weeding out the weak.

Pray you don't get multiple myeloma. Among other things, MM destroys your bones from the inside out -- a process that my dad described as feeling like the worst toothache imaginable, except throughout every square inch of his body...every second of every day.

So, basically, I thank God and modern chemistry for Fentanyl -- it was the only drug that gave him any semblance of "relief".

Very true! Unlike regular pain meds methadone gets into your bones and will eventually rot your teeth. Plus the longer you're on it the harder it is to get off

 

[P.PattersonISwalkingthruthatdoor]

Plus the longer you're on it the harder it is to get off

that's what she said?

Synthetic drug called "spice" just hit the streets in LA. Probably elsewhere too. Costs $1. Spray it on a cigarette. 15 overdoses in an afternoon in skid row last week. Even for Skid row, that's high.

Same goes for synthetic marijuana. Marijuana isn't suppose to lol you. You might rob someone for a bag of chips but not kill you. I saw a dateline story recently if a girl that experienced it for the first time and it was her last as well. Another drug I don't get

 

[MegaBlue05]

Don't get me started on synthetic pot. Worst stuff I ever tried. Powerful, yet miserable and short high. Real stuff never killed anyone. If it were possible to OD on pot, I would've died in my 20s.

I don't get heroin either. I dabbled in some heavy stuff in my youth, but never wanted anything to do with the needle. I too have buried friends/family who couldn't live without it. Have another former good friend who just last week got a gun put to his head and robbed of his money, phone and car in a heroin deal gone bad in NKY. It's some bad ****.

Mt Sterling had 15 overdoses in 5 hours last night.

I'll never understand the drug game. I don't see how someone could witness that and think "Yeah, that will end well for me." Just seeing the people that do heroine should scare the hell out of you from ever wanting that lifestyle.

Typically you don't jump right into heroin. Or any other hard core drug. It's a gradual descent. No one walks into a house and sees a dude with a needle in his arm and his lips turning blue and then proceeds to take his first injection. You start with something small like hydrocodone. After a while your brain can't reach the same high it once did so you graduate to something stronger but with a similar effect. Most of the time it's the person that introduced you to the first drug who points you in the next direction. And for whatever reason you trust this person. And before you know it you're on a couch struggling to breathe.
