Pods almost killed me once, and I'm experienced with opiates. They are no joke, they can be very strong.
Rest in peace, bro.

I'll drink to that!!
Grrrrr right now I have the good luck to be in a country with cheap OTC opiates but if I was back in this US I'd be using pods again because of the long half-life and cheap cost. Thats why shit like this pisses me off since my only other option should pods be pursued by the DEA is either a suboxone program or ordering bupe from an online pharmacy both outrageously expensive!
REST IN PEACE
for everyone who didn't know him, i know it's very easy for you to joke about it, but is it ACTUALLY a hilarious instance to think about someone oding? fuck off
and for anyone who is actually angry because you think this situation MIGHT somehow get in the way of you obtaining these drugs, think about it if it was your friend-- you may want things to change so this NEVER happens again.
it seems to be such a rare thing, but recently another kid died in the area for drinking the tea, and then smoking pot. so this shit needs to get out there, so more people know to be more careful, and that it actually can kill you. maybe if Alex was more educated on this he wouldn't have touched it, because he was an educated kid. at the rick of sounding like a fucking mother, i just urge everyone to research what you are putting in your body. we have the internet know, we can do this very easily. know that combining things can be fucking dangerous... i know it is all common sense, but sometimes we become a little stupid in the situation and just take shit, thinking it is no big deal.
but for real, have some compassion when talking about a dead person, i know he is just that when you are commenting on a forum, but he really was a wonderful and smart person that got influenced to drink this stuff, just cause it was around, and i can't say i would have done any differently.

Here is the deal, there are a LOT of pod tea users who are not kiddies looking for a high but opiate addicts who are sensibly using pod tea to maintain.
Just ask on this board, I've seen people switch to pod tea from heroin and clean up their life. I used pod tea to maintain when I was in the US.
The fact is pods are cheap, easy to acquire, and with their long half life easy to maintain on, and your medical records aren't marked "addict".
Many people have used this great resource to build their lives back up.
And in rural areas of the US where there are no methadone clinics its pods or suboxone and sub is EXPENSIVE.
So when people do things like fatally ODing that bring negative attention to pods, we aren't angry at them specifically. What we are angry is losing something that has allowed us to live a normal life. And the spectre of having it taken away and what desperation could force us to do, its scary.

I used pods to get off heroin and they were a godsent. That being said, when you get used to them and one day feel like getting fucking nodded up on them, it's actually quite easy to OD on them. It's easy to take a test shot of heroin from a bundle of stamps. It's not easy to take a test taste of every single pod varying in potency from a stash. My OD on pods was pretty fucking bad. I was on the edge in the ER, lost all hearing for a few hours, seizured, pinched a big nerve on the right side of my body from my toe all the way up to my eye, got a tiny bit a scar tissue on my brain, was shot up with narcan 6 or 7 times, choking on my own blood and vomit. I could'nt walk on my own for a week. Pods are no joke. It's like saying shrooms are nothing compaired to LSD because of the potency by weight factor. But what would I know, I'm just an ex-heroin addict that found refuge in pods (clean 4 months now), so please, continue to shoot your heroin and laugh at this dead kid.
