Deadly new drugs entering Baton Rouge, coroner warns

A fatal drug overdose in Baton Rouge has prompted the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner to warn the public about the influx of deadly synthetic opioids and other psychoactive drugs that can be legally purchased on the Internet.
Dr. Beau Clark said a man who died on Sept. 28 was found to have ingested three drugs Clark had not previously seen in the parish: furanyl fentanyl, a high-potency fentanyl analog sold as a designer drug; Etizolam, which mimics the sedating effects of benzodiazepines like Xanax; and U-47700, an opioid analgesic known by the street names "pink" or "pinky."
Clark described these drugs as novel combinations of chemical compounds that are fatal at extremely low doses. He said chemists unaffiliated with pharmaceutical companies create these drug cocktails to satisfy the public's demand for opioids while protecting themselves from prosecution.
"This one man's death marked the first time we've seen these synthetic drugs that other jurisdictions around the country have been seeing for months," Clark said. "It's the sentinel events that says: 'Oh no, it's coming this way.'"

And yet the prescribing guidelines for pain meds continues to be cut back, creating more and more demand for Street drugs, which are getting deadlier and deadlier with the increased usage of fent or synthetic copycats of fent.

from xanax? At my worst I was taking 15 blue a day.
Never drank alcohol with them except once at my casino bar.
Was also combining them with Ambien. I don't remember 2011-2014 that well.

Yeah, all we really want is a few lortabs but I guess we'll just have to snort some fentanyl instead.

The war on drugs. The market will find a way to meet demand with or without regulation. While "normal" stuff is illegal, expensive and hard to find, more dangerous stuff will be created.

Good. Why make it harder for patients to get medicine they need simply because a portion of the population chooses to abuse it and then seek drugs on the street.
This idea that big pharm and lack of government regulation on these prescription pills is leading to an opioid epidemic is laughable. If this were happening in the black community, everyone on here would be yelling about personal responsibility.

So...don't do drugs and you won't overdose?
I'm not feeling sympathy for the guy that buys his drugs from a strip mall chemist.

15 really isn't some insane amount to someone that's been abusing Xanax for years

If you zoom in on my avi..I took that in my bathroom. People assume you were taking large amounts and functioning normal.
Truth is by the time I was 30 I had lost the people who raised me, I actually found one of them, and the person who I was engaged to was killed in a car accident. I was fortunate enough to have my house and vehicle paid off, no children or responsibilities to anyone. All I wanted to do was sleep and forget who I was. We live in America and pills are abundant. I didn't give a frick about a lot for a while. Wasn't like I was partying. And if I enjoyed opioids, and didn't vomit after taking them, I probably wouldn't be alive today myself.
When I decided I had to change, coming off those was physically horrifying.
