This girl went to my school and she was a really nice person
natural selection ...
@John Deere legalize oxycodone and fentanyl for recreational use.
there would be no counterfeit pills being cut with unknown and extremely dangerous amounts of the substance if they were regulated and legal for recreational use.
The Worst problem is " It's okay, I can get rid of it any time i want to.I have self control." Bollocks. Don't just take it.
let's all go back to just smoking weed okay?
Or how about just stick to plants.. Opium and Morphine are both strong enough.
I told my doctor if I had a big bag of weed while I detox and some benzos I'd be opiate free in a week or two and he said nah no I don't think so I think it might make you worse I am putting you on methadone....
Ffs I know I would've been done already but hey they have an obligation to the makers of methadone to bring in that customer flow
Weed and benzos don't hit the same receptors as opiates. More importantly, if you became dependent on benzos during your detox phase, that withdraw could be magnitudes worse. But hey, if you feel like weed can get you through a heroin detox, more power to you.
skankhunt42 agree more safe and fun
skankhunt42 everyone that I know who uses these hard drugs started with weed .... it's a gateway drug how bout stick with noithing do a sport
I'm so sorry. Seeing the pain and hearing the hurt, be strong young man, be strong! Got me crying.
"immune to overdose" wtf
Morgan Conrad it’s not that, but rather they feel that they are in control of their addiction believing they could stop at any time if they choose to
It’s like the girl I heard once say “I drive better drunk” smh
she might think so but not true :)
It's called being in denial
“Immune to overdose” oh man. I’m sure she was just joking, but deep down part of her probably believed that to an extent. Really unfortunate.
Sorry this happened to you. I know how you feel brother. I've lost 2 brothers and my wife to opioids. I used to be happy. It does get better though. Good luck.
Am so sorry for the loss of your two brothers and your wife my thoughts are with you
I used to work in a hospital and there was a nurse there who was addicted to Fentanyl. You never would have suspected it, it was a weird way she got caught. We worked in the ICU, where fentanyl patches are commonly prescribed. When med time came and the patch would be changed, she would put a fresh one on the pt and take the old one and chew it, getting high off the drug left in the patch. The thought of that makes me so sick, ugh, gross... Anyway, I guess she had too much or something one day and we found her sound asleep in the recliner chair next to the pt's bed with a patch in her mouth and a couple in her pocket. She lucky she didn't OD! But yeah, that didn't go over too well with admin....
Oh damn! Ever find out what happened to her? Did she ever get help? Is she worse now?
Thanks for the tip
That's disgusting, chewing something that was on someone else's body just to get high.
Woah! Thxs for sharing
I've done far worse and believe me for opiates, this was a breeze. Cake walk. I'm surprised she did not scrape off the gel first and THEN place it on the patient.
My brother recently died from fentanyl. He was 32 years old. 6'4 , 230lbs. The stuff is insanely potent.
Thank you for sharing, sorry for your loss
aside from all the rude comments on here, rip to the both of them.
Jim Piver she went 2 my school nd was a nice person
shouldn't do drugs. this happens. they get what they deserve
An addiction is a disease of the brain and could happen to anyone. And anyone that doesn't understand that I just hope none of them find out that their kid is on or addicted to drugs,i wouldn't be that evil and mainly to you Ace House .
Tracey H just don't do drugs. People know what will happen if they do. They dumb enough to do it what ever happens to them they deserve it. It's poison
Ace House Trust me I,ve lived in the inner city of Dublin and I well know what happens when people takes drugs not to mention some of the people that died from them in my family who were lovely looking bright people as I said it,s a disease of the brain and ever say that again "anyone who take,s drugs deserves what they get" what about a kid at 14 and just trying it out for fun with mates and over doses and died ,do they honestly deserve that.
1:14 Poor kid's voice shaking . Could tell that he loves her very much
So sad, prayers for deliverance to those that are addicted. Please don't take drugs.
Those who are "addicted" are weak pathetic creatures and the rejects of society who refuse to take responsibility for their actions.
Ya, save the prayers and hope for science to develop an easier detox.
@James Bond way
I lost my daughter 3 years ago to drugs i miss and love her so much
RIP. She's in a better place now 🙏
It is a sad thing to know of, especially when a loved one is in this type of crisis. My condolences to all who deal with this
That's horrible. I'm so sorry for your losses. My heart is broken
I tried helping someone hooked on this crippling addiction. It is winning. 😢
SO SORRY FOR YOUR GREAT LOSS. PRAYING FOR YOU.
It's killed my loved ones as well. It's not just fentanyl, it's all of them.God Bless You! You Are In My Prayers!!!
Prayers out to him. may they rest in peace❤️🤞🏽
I recently lost my cousin, so sad
He will be greatly missed
Rip to both of them, this is so sad.
Prayers lifted to you
So very sorry for your losses.
I give Fentanyl and Versed to patients everyday for sedation. You have to be very careful even for a monitored procedure. I cant imagine someone taking an unknown dosage
How sad that both of them (& many more) lost their lives so young.
The main problems people have with illicit drugs like fentanyl and heroin are: not being able to accurately measure dose, not getting a pure substance, being uneducated on the drug and it's real effects, and using an unsafe route of administration. Pure, medical grade fentanyl (yes it exists), administered correctly, and at low to moderate doses does not usually produce especially dangerous side effects. The war on drugs is creating these problems. Drug use and availability does not decrease because of illegality, it just makes drugs more expensive and less pure, causing people to use them in more dangerous ways. Deaths like these are absolutely terrible but if we decriminalized these drugs and provided users with pure substances and educated them on things like dose and effects we could potentially save thousands of lives each year. That's what Portugal did and their number of heroin addicts split in half. Drug legalization might sound like a crazy idea, but think about it...we could save millions of lives.
Hunter Broodboy Pure Fetanyl is deadly, pure Heroin is also deadly. In fact pure drugs can be more addictive than drugs cut with other substances. That's like saying drinking pure alcohol is better than drinking beer.
Matt Supertramp no drug addicts are causing these problems !
Matt Supertramp I was given a shot of fentanyl for pain in the hospital. A very low dose.
If you're saying drigs/herion is legal in portogul then you're wrong .
Matt Supertramp: Educate them?? The danger is no secret! Some want more of it--not less!
Addiction is crazy. I think I've been lucky. I was on fentanyl for 3 yes along with pervocets for a degenerative disease. A month after surgery my Dr. started to wean me off. In five weeks I was completely off with no cravings at all. I was on the pervocets for 8 yrs.My body took 3 monthes to feel normal again. I think your state of mind has a lot to do with it.
My close friend died 3 weeks ago. Fentanyl in heroin. She was 27. My other friend died 1 year ago. She was 22. Fentanyl-laced cocaine.
My brother died from a fentanyl OD Nov 2019. It broke me, I've been so depressed.
I hope you've found some peace and healing
She was beautiful, this is so sad.
He spoke nothing but truth 😑😔
I’ve done a few different kinds of drugs. Ran through my supply and never felt the need to do it again
His words on addiction are very real
I'm on fentanyl patches given by GP and Oramorph for any breakthrough pain. This worries me. However I do not take it to go high. I have it on me for slow release...
If you're gonna be dumb,ya gotta be tuff.
What i want to know is, why is he hiding a smile when he says how shocked he is?
Man that's so sad
so sad rest in peace
It took my SON he was 26. Christ I miss him.
addiction is a pain
this is really sad
Earlier this year I had surgery to have a port placed due to my veins being scared up from 13 rounds of 5 days per round of IVIG for what has started out to be Gullian Barre syndrome and that has progressed to Chronic Inflammatory Demyalating Polyneuropathy. Anyway, when I was in pre-op, the anesthesiologist asked me what I preferred for the meds to sedate me for the procedure. She said that I had an option of being given fentanyl, valium or ativan and propofol. I told her "no thanks to the fentanyl and ativan but could I get the valium now and the propofol in the OR?" and then she said "Yes, I can do that."
The reason why I chose not to receive the fentanyl was because the last time I received it I was high for three days afterwards.
Can't hurt you if you don't take it...
And then there is me that is afraid to take two aleeves instead of one for my cramps 😂😂
CC Nice rack.
CC... I feel you. Even eating expired food for a day I feel I would pass out hahahaha
OMFG my heart fully goes out to this pore soul wow
.....it is just so tempting when you look at all the success stories of the people using it.......
.....hello......!
larry phelps Very tempting especially when I walked in on my wife shooting her friends up with it. So of course I let her shoot me up too.
who would take photos of someone smiling at a funeral
I would.
another drug? K2, Krokdil, Fentanyl... what ever happened to just taking weed?
onestunningdude exactly
Thats the problem weed leads you into these other drugs... its a gateway drug
Xavier Mondragon I smoke weed and it never lead to anything else ""I don't even drink nor smoke cigarettes .....30+ years all i do is weed ....never crossed my mind to do other drugs
It became illegal and people started looking for alternatives
The law
I remember years ago I was addicted to Xanax to the point where I needed it all the time and when I wasn’t on it I was depressed and suicidal.. long story short I phone this dude on Snapchat that was selling “Xanax”. got some from him and after taking 2 thinking they were Xanax but where actually pressed fentanyl to look like Xanax I almost died . Thank god I’m fully clean now but man drugs are scary 😟!! I hope whoever is addicted to drugs can get help and support !!
This is very sad whenever I had surgery they wanted to give me fentanyl for 2nd time I refused
I had to have fentanyl after my appendix burst because nothing else could stop the pain.
Did they really need to invent a narcotic more powerful than heroin?!
I'm sure some chemists said the same thing when heroin was invented.. which was stronger than morphine.. 😕
2 years later and still no changes with this horrible drug
Those people who are doing dangerous drugs need to reach out to their families or friends before they do something regretful.
Life has its hardships but don’t let them determine your course in life if it’s not good.
They gave me Fentanyl in the ambulance when I broke my femur last fall. It was the liquid version shot into my IV, but I didn't notice any "high" from it at all, just that the indescribable pain stopped for a few minutes. Two 100mg doses of it and they couldn't give me any more (it was a 40 mile ride to the hospital over some not too smooth roads), so they switched to Ketamine. That stuff was the most scary substance I've ever had in my life. :D
Blame not the drug nor the drug trafficker, blame the drug user; if no one does drugs, the problem does not exist.
What a damn shame
I pray for this guy. Hope he pulls trough
Im so sorry for him -.-
sorry for your loss. I went to a donut shop to use the washroom only to be acosted by a pair of legs dangling from a bathroom stall .He had over dosed. I don't know if he was saved as I had to go back to work.
I'm sorry for your loss. In addition to treatment we need full access to safe supply.
Addiction is a choice, not a disease. Make it legal and free and give them all they want. In the end, they'll get exactly what they deserve instead of becoming a burden to the rest of us. No sympathy and quit trying to make excuses or blame someone else.
God bless you kid
I'm so sorry! You keep pushing your campaign. ONE life is worth your effort! TY.
:( love at least 4 friends to this in the past year and a half !!!!!!
Your words are my thoughts exactly..Feb.this devil took my 35 yr,old sons life,,,,,
Damn that's sad man
Where are all these terrible drugs comi from? How are these young people getting a hold of this stuff?? It’s so sad 😞
I tried it once because I suffer from Hemophilia, which is sometimes accompanied by extreme pain. I got it on perscription. After the first application I ended up vommiting for like half a day. BIG NOPE - NEVER MORE!
After being on 80mg oxycodone/oxycontin and 200-400mg of tramadol a day, I then went onto Fentanyl patches (50mg) and they did absolutely nothing what so ever. The pain was so immense that I'm now back on oxycodone, tramadol and co-codamol (30/500's).
I'm a little concerned though as my partner is going to be starting the patches in a couple of weeks time. I hope that she's not left being addicted to them.
Oh she will be.. thats a guarantee.
She definitely will be sorry
Shocked? Really?
So sad
I have fentanyl patches for pain but not s huge amount. It stops me taking morphine. And there is a lot less breakthrough pain
I know its messed up but sometimes i think my life is a mess and then i watch these videos and im actually not doing that bad , i still got it together lol
so weird how his girlfriend was using and his brother but he never did? Plus why would you want to be with a girl thats had an addiction. clearly you know they're never gonna stop.
All the warnings are out there!! I don’t get it!
It just killed my sister July 22 2020 also.....super sad 😞
Poor guy he seems broken I lost a bf 9 years ago to morphine over dose.. I hate pills😢💔
This is what kids my age are doing now days? Damn I fell sheltered AF.
Sad story, feel bad for the kid.
19 year old dating a 16 year old?
eu tenho um amigo viciado em fentanyl ele está se recuperando com muita dificuldade e sebaxon no Brasil está respondendo bem a recuperação.trabalhamos na recuperação de adicto em heroína e outras drogas .
I just don't get it, how do people get like this? what a sad waste of life.
Poor kid
No one is stronger than fentanyl
Looks like you cared...wish I could say the same for my family.
How tragic! Lots of drugs are like that....including cigarettes (just kills you slower).
i had fentayl at st vincents hospital sydney made me drowsy after surgery
Nothing is wrong with fentanyl when used properly (transdermally), especially when in the safety of a hospital where it is sometimes given intravenously. It is dangerous only when people abuse it by smoking or chewing patches, or snorting fentanyl or carfentanil laced powder from pills disguised as Oxycontin.
i agree
0:03 what is that noise
who sold the drug?
I'm a 5 year addict if you have a bed in a rehab I will take it I'm in Arkansas but I will drive to Alaska if you have a bed cause I'm sick of being sick and even more tired of being addicted
What a waste
My friends aunt that I used to smash died from it that was mixed with cocaine. She was a really amazing person
I had to go to rehab to get off of it
Poor kid, I hope he gets some therapy
Rehab works, it just takes a lot of time and effort by the state. Otherwise, you can only wait for someone to maybe decide they have had enough.
doesnt work for indians
There is a biological reason for that. Doctors have been working on a "vaccine" for alcohol poisoning because Indians do not possess enough of an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol.
i know a former friend, who cant even do a crap without taking pills, He needs 20 pills a day , for his hepatitis, (for taking drugs and smoking pot all those years). complaining of depression and other. Financially he is well off now, his mum died 2 weeks ago. I wonder how long his new fortune will last . His health is ruined, by drugs,
i just wanna give this kid a hug :(
tell the truth how was she doing the drug.
I overdosed on fetanyl. Now I'm a spirit, I assume. No one can see me, hear me, yet they can feel my presence. I'm trapped in my parent's house, I cannot escape... Help me.
You can beat it... the person has to want to quit. Haven’t used this drug in 8 years
