    why are you such a party pooper? who cares how much someone owns? you’re equating potential of overdose with probability of harm being enacted. this is all a theory you made up in your mind

      why are you such a party pooper?

      • There was a total of 49,105 apparent opioid toxicity deaths reported between January 2016 and June 2024

      • Of all accidental apparent opioid toxicity deaths so far in 2024 (January to June), 79% involved fentanyl

      This shit is super hyper fucking lethal, and the people who move it around and push it need to be locked up

      However, I’ve spent the last couple hours looking info up on this and it seems there us a growing trend of people, as crazy as it sounds, shooting up and smoking pure fentanyl.

      And due to its much shorter duration, people build a tolerance way faster and, indeed, there’s reports of people doing entire doses of dozens of mg in a single hit

      Which is absolutely mind boggling to me tbh.

      But yeah I guess there really are people walking around with that much in their pocket.

      The thing that’s tough is, how do you seperate between 1 person who has 40mg, lacing it in 40 pills to sell at a club (which could potentially kill people), vs 1 person who has 120mg which will only last them literally the day by themself.

      Legally that is, in terms of possession charges.

        you don’t separate them because that’s how you end up perpetuating the war on drugs ideology and because most resellers don’t lace their products.

        I’m going back to my first comment again, if drug testing centers were free and accessible, there would be a repository of trusted sellers based on their purity results
