Yeah, that is real Fentynal that is perfectly pure and the dose is perfect. On the street it’s similar but not pure, made in a Chinese lab, and you have no idea how much is in anything you buy. The amount to kill is so small that a grain of powder could be the difference between getting high and death. Now they are adding new chemicals. Substances such as carfentanil and various nitazenes that are 10-50x’s stronger than base Fentynal. Honestly it’s why I got sober. It’s too scary to even buy anything now. It’s asking for death even to an addict. You can’t even be careful anymore.
Lost my niece and a cousin to that ****. I swear most people in KY know someone that has died from some kind of opiate overdose.

It’s easy to see, some injuries take a long time to heal. After being on opioids even for a year taking exactly as prescribed you will start feeling slight WD effects. Some get past it, some don’t. Some people love the feeling so much they chase it. That happened to me. I legit needed them for my bad back. I also used stronger ones on the side because I loved the feeling. I was productive for years. Once I found Opana though it was all she wrote. I got real bad after that.

What’s amazing is they’ve discovered simply cycling ibuprofen (advil) with acetaminophen (Tylenol) every three hours has 4 times the pain relieving strength as OxyContin. The whole entire opioid crisis was complete big pharma ********, even the pain relief claims.

Man I bought some delta 9 gummies to see how close it was to real bud. My tolerance is weak now. I ate 25mg and was feeling solid. I was like I will eat another before bed and feel real good. Big mistake. I was still high when I woke up, I was paranoid as hell. Never again.
Yeah I have couple bad experiences with eatables and got them from dispensary. Just to damn strong

It's definitely legal here in Tennessee. The gas station around the corner has a whole section of every different kind of kratum you can think of.

I asked the guy the other day what it was because I see people buying it all the time. He said it helps with energy and back pain... I've always heard it was dangerous so I want nothing to do with it. He said he sells 5 to 6 hundred bucks worth a day which is crazy because I live in a small town.

He literally has an entire wall full of it
Backpain treatment huh... guess i need to try because my back is broken and employer thinks 50 hrs is easy. Im 43 and broken spine from slavery

Well I can't give any advice on it but apparently whatever it's supposed to be for it really gets the job done. I would say mainly energy but maybe somebody on here has tried it and can tell you more

Same. Messes with my nerves like a muscle relaxer or something. I prefer to just fire up a splif. But I just turned 30 so I'm trying to cut out the thc. I've smoked for the last 15 years. Feel like it's time to stop lol.

I have a decent reputation at work and stuff but most of the bosses or anybody important still call it DOPE lol. It's just flower.

Pills crack powder meth heroin fent is what I call dope. Not the ol flower bud🤣 but society doesn't accept it still in a lot of places. Especially Kentucky and Tennessee.

Kind of like taking that 3rd and 4th shot of taquilla when 2 would have been just right.

7OH and heroin aren't in the same galaxy. Don't get me wrong, 7OH is very strong and has no business being sold over the counter but anyone who has done both would laugh at the comparison to heroin. It's like comparing an aspirin to Percocet. I've seen many people parrot this talking point and it only shows their complete ignorance on the subject. Going after these very potent, lab made derivatives of kratom is reasonable. Going after the plant based kratom is silly and a waste of time. Many people get positive results from the use of kratom including pain relief. The pharmaceutical industry cant have that. The people peddling the prescription opiates created the propaganda campaign against kratom and its working.
Kratom is used to ween people off from Opiates including Methadone . Comes from a tree/bush in the coffee family growing in Asia mostly Indonesia- Thailand & Vietnam.
It’s better than Opiates but like Spice & Bath Salts there was little regulation for many years while the unscrupulous wholesalers made fortunes

You are right I live on Kentucky-Tennessee line and travel in Tennessee frequently, see it advertised on windows on mini marts. It Killed a young man in the Town I live close too.

You realize Tylenol overdose is the #1 cause of acute liver failure in the US?

What does that have anything to do with what I said? Acute is a massive instantaneous overdose. Simply cycling Tylenol with Advil has 4 times the pain relief as OxyContin. It is not a treatment for chronic long term pain, nor should OxyContin be. You can literally have an overdose on water.

It’s easy to overdose on Tylenol. It would never get approved today by the FDA. Frequent and long time use of Tylenol is extremely dangerous.

I had no clue it was something that strong. I was just sure I had noticed that name on a package by the register before.
Whole different type of issue, but I almost bought my 6 yr old mushroom gummies at a liquor store once. Go into a Macadoodles, grab a bottle I know costs around $60. 6 yr old is pestering me for candy. She grabs these gummies, asks if she can have them, I don't have my glasses on and notice the package looks different than any I've ever seen before. But I do as any terrible parent would do, tell her sure just to shut her up. Guy rings me up and the total is a tad over $85. Me..."Are these just candy?" Cashier..."Oh hell no man, those are drugs." I've never taken the 6 yr old back into a liquor store without my glasses again.

Why do you clowns do so many drugs? Weed makes you stupid. Harder stuff ends up killing you.

Didn't y'all pay attention in the D.A.R.E. classes?
That's why I do alcohol. It is good for you. has calories, keeps you alive (eventually) if you keep using it, and is legal everywhere which means it is safe to use.

I guarantee it, I’ve lost 3 of my High School best friends. Two more are now sober, another in rehab in California. I probably know at least 75 people alone that I did pills with in High School, and probably 50 more at local schools from sports teams and school activities in college.

I don’t buy that for one second. If it was that effective I would have never tried a pain pill. It doesn’t come close to the relief you get from actual opioids. Even after the “effects” people crave wear off. The pain relief is still there.

Guys, I don’t know what to tell you. It was all a lie. Feel free to look up the 1,000 articles on it.
