I was watching our local news tonight and they said 5 people, all in one house, were found passed out/overdosed from heroin, by one of their kids coming home...at first I thought they were probably IVing the dope, well, after one of the kids tried and couldnt wake her dad up, they called 911, cops and EMTs came, gave them narcan, and brought them all back...they had one of the EMTs on camera, she said they found foil and straws on the table, and knew the 5 people were smoking the dope, NOT Iving it!!!
I didnt think smoking dope could cause people to pass out??? The EMT said the dope was probably cut with Fentanyal (not sure on spelling?) and the people didnt realize how strong this dope was, but for 5 people, who were likely regular dope users, to pass out at the same time? Something sounds kind of weird about this.
While the kids were happy their parents were still alive, the 5 adults were not too happy, after the hospital, they were charged with something relating to the kids being there, unattended, cant remember what the actual charge was, they didnt mention any charges related to possession of the dope either, but Im sure they will charge some or all of them with that, especially if they found more dope than what was left on the foil!!
The EMT on camera went on to say that smoking heroin is the absolute worst way a person can use it, due to the drug getting to every part of the body thru lungs blood vessels and some kind of disease you can get from lighting foil, inhaling this, etc..?? Im not sure if she was referring to dope cut with Fentanyal or smoking ANY dope, I also dont know how the EMT assumed it was cut with Fentanyal...guessing?
Anyone else ever hear of someone passing out /ODing from smoking dope? Other than this, I cant think of another.
