ok now that im at a comp i can fix this....i wonder where he was getting this rc from? or if it was pressed 30s or if he knew what he was getting...you would think he could have tons of quack drs on his payroll rxing him anything he wants. if he was getting fent rxd wtf would he get some dangerous rc?




]We've learned from a source close to the Prince death investigation that another powerful drug was found in his system.
Although it was a fentanyl overdose that killed Prince April 21, the medical examiner said it was part of a deadly chemical cocktail.
And Monday, a source close to the investigation says U47700 was part of the mixture. The potent painkiller is a synthetic opioid, eight times stronger than morphine.
And, it took more time and more testing to detect.
"You may have to send it out to a more sophisticated lab that actually is looking for these sorts of drugs," said Dr. Cody Wiberg with the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy.
Investigative sources told reporter Beth McDonough that Prince may have thought he was taking a legitimate painkiller, like hydrocodone or fentanyl, that unknowingly also had U-47700 in it.
The pills often look just like other medications. Plus, Wiberg says U47700 can be resistent to the life-saving antidote Narcan.
Sources say when Princes plane made an emergency landing in Illinois less than a week before his death, paramedics gave him not one but two Narcan shots,
"You might have to administer multiple doses to try to reverse the effects," said Wiberg.
Because U-47700 is not considered a controlled substance by state or federal agents, it's not regulated. The Drug Enforcement Administrations says it tends to be produced overseas in China or Eastern Europe. It's widely available, easily accessible and affordable, about $40 online.
Wiberg says the drug is on his radar, because it can cause sedation to the point a person stops breathing, "people that use synthetic drugs are playing Russian Roulette, that's because another problem with these drugs is you simply don't know what you get."
Prince was known to have chronic hip pain. We've reported he was being treated for an addiction to painkillers.
As for U-47700, several states have moved to ban the drug. That means, anyone who possesses or sells it, would be subject to criminal penalties.

I would speculate that he possibly got counterfeit pills.
Nobody is safe from this evil selling-ultra-potent-RCs-as-misrepresented-opiates racket.
Having said that - my understanding of narcan is that it isnt unusual for people to be administered more than one shot of it because it doesn't last for long, and people can slip back into respitary depression from the original opiate overdose as the narcan wears off.

Fucking sad, fucking scary.
Be careful people.

Far more likely scenario than prince got it on internet himself on purpose. Fake oxys in my city have w-18 in them there are posters up in junkie areas warning people. All sorts of people with access to a pill press who have no idea what they are doing.

Yeah I needed two shots before. The first shot sent me into withdrawals but by the time the ambulance was pulling into the hospital I was going back out. I think this happened because I was also abusing benzos.
 
Using multiple shots of narcan is a common practice especially during a serious fent overdose. I doubt U47700 is resistant to narcan.
 
It is a mystery how he got this rc...I'm guessing maybe someone in his click got them who got them from someone kinda thing.

I mean if you go on the major dnm at the moment you can get counterfeit 30s and it says they have fent in them. Matter of fact on edata they had a fake 30 with like ten diff things in it, Tylenol heroin ibuprofen fent....even the reviewer said this is an insane amount of substances in one pill.

I'm interested in the ppl that have had run ins with w18...did you od? Did you know what you were getting? It's just a drug that strong and some guy getting caught in FL with lbs of it is kinda scary. Yea the shit may feel like god is giving you a handy j but the shit is so strong you basically have to have a lab to dose it. Even volumetrically.

Lastly how common is w18 up there along with that u4 stuff and all the diff fent analogs, last I saw there was like 5 diff analogs going around, acetyl,butyr,furanyl, octyl and I forget the other.

W18 is so strong you could use that likes gas the way the Russians used carfentanyl in that botched theatre seige. I think called kolokol 1 or something like that. but a bunch of ppl died because they passed out in positions that didn't let them breathe.... crazy shit.
 
Listen, I fucking love(d) Prince. But all that BS about him never taking drugs? His death kinda blows this out of the water, if anyone didn't already know. Around the world in a day? Anyone wanna bet me he wasn't taking LSD when he made that?

As Bill Hicks said, you don't like drug users, then burn your fucking record collection.

RIP Prince <3
 
^Right?!
Prince was one of the most psychedelic performers of the 1980s.
I never believed for a second that he didn't take drugs. That's crazy talk.

Also, people that have never gotten high don't play guitar like that. It's a scientific fact.
 
Bad times to be using any kind of illicit opiates with all the fentanyl and other powerful rc opioids out there. A quick read of the American sub forum shows how common smack is cut with fent. I guess they dont want repeat customers

Plenty of customers right now. Honestly a couple ODs is great for business. When I was using heroin I specifically sought out dealers I knew had hot bags.

Same! In orlando the dope sucks...but then this grayish dope came around and it blew you away for like an hour, and then slowly faded. I would literally go to dial a dope dealers instead of just hitting up dopeholes because all the delivery services had the gray which was fentanyl and heroin.
 
I was going to post about this not too long ago, but then i uhhh, didn't. This is very serious/prevalent problem.

Guarantee Prince bought pills off a dealer that had counterfeits. IME pill suppliers are either heavily addicted or never take them. Since they're too hooked to notice/care or have no experience, I'm certain that almost all low level street dealers have no idea they are knock off's.

I'm in the North East US, and fake roxy pills started trickling in the area about 3 years back. Trust your instinct. When you look at them, you will notice something isn't right. I suggest staying the fuck away.

A person can get 10 blue guys that are assorted. It will melt in your mouth and have a soapy, powdery taste. Little to no bitterness. Real problem is one will have barely any effect. Then take one the next day from the same batch and you'll start sweating, feel sick, dizzy and be scared to close your eyes. Be very careful.

Whether it's Fent or RC's, these things are being made by who knows with presses you can buy off of ebay for 40 bucks. You don't know what you're getting and they're completely inconsistent. Extremely dangerous. Tread lightly.

PS read government statistic estimating that over 75 percent of seized pills were dangerous counterfeits.
