I see dead people.
I hate to be *that* guy but I don't understand the fear of fentanyls. You ALWAYS take a small taste first, fent does not change the behavior just the degree to which one starts off small! So now you start off really small? I dunno I'm still pretty sure the fents I have had were WAY cleaner than the black tar heroin I played with the literally one and only time I scored any. I live in one of the biggest smack infested wastelands, it is literally a Miracle the only time I could buy heroin was the week I left my home state of Colorado and became a refugee. Ahhh, but times can change... I bet I find it next week. Well, I've never had a heroin habit and with kratom > fent/poppy pods are around I would not begin to experience the supposed "epidemic" that plagues the less sophisticated junkies.
In theory that may be correct. Fentanyl and most of it's analogues have higher therapeutic indices (LD50/ED50) than morphine. However we see a shit ton of people die off fentanyl overdoses, don't we? Of the four people I have known who fatally overdosed all four were using fentanyl.
On top of that there is a lot of badly cut fentanyl being sold as heroin.
Then there are a lot of people who are simply too dim-witted to dose correctly. It's easier to overdose a crystalline substance active in the ug range than it is to overdose a substance with the same TI active at a dose ten-fold higher.
The process doesn't just scale as one would expect. Substance can stick to fingers and reach the mouth or particles can be inhaled when handled incorrectly. I once accidentally dosed a psychedelic amphetamine that way and woke up in my own vomit. I've never felt comfortable handling or even stashing substances active at such low doses.
Another issue are mix-ups. I have once confused two substances i had lying around and in consequence took 300mg AB-CHMINACA (round about 1000 doses). Had it been fentanyl I'd be dead now. Had it been cut-to-shit heroin I'd probably still be alive.
Imho anyone who stocks fentanyl analogues should therefore keep them in (refridgerated, sterilized or preserved) aqeous solution at the highest feasible water/substance ratio, clearly labeling the bottles with the respective substance name and concentration.
It's tough seeing people sell their lives for heroin when they could easily spend a month worth on a lifetime supply of fentanyl analogue. On the other hand I am pretty sure these same people would soon after find themselves six feet under if they actually decided to go down that road.
It's a bit of paradoxical I guess, but I can understand why a person wouldn't want to mess around with fentanyl and it's often much more potent analogues.
I personally urge everyone outside of medical settings to stay the fuck away from fentanyl analogues, probably due to personal experience with losing said people. I held two of these people in highest esteem and still do.
