re: Could the Fentanyl crisis scare people from trying drugs for the first time?

No because people are thinking they are buying perfectly safe drugs made from pharma companies.
The fentanyl thing is black market pills. Most of the people taking these are probably already prescribed some other drug. their faith and trust is with the medical community.

Growing up we didn’t get opioids for tooth aches and every other minor ailment. That shite started after ‘96 when Purdue pushed the lie that Oxy was safe to treat every type of pain including non-cancer chronic pain and pain associated with minor procedures.
I was about to say, i wasnt prescribed oxy contin when my wisdom teeth were pulled 20 years ago.

I’m never buying drugs again because the cartel is racist not because of the fear of fentanyl

Miller Lite is a drug and the drug it contains has killed more people and caused more misery than all of the "drugs" people think of as drugs combined. Tobacco would be second on that list.
I find it interesting how certain people seem predisposed to addiction.
There probably should be some type of screening for people to help them determine their risk. Some folks should NOT have any alcohol. Most seem able to moderate themselves. Those select few that have no self-control should have never started.

I don't understand how anyone does crack or meth or heroin the first time
Crack is because they basically smoked cocaine and had already done cocaine.
Heroin is prescribed legally. Its just cheaper than an $80 oxy pill.

Trans. It gets confusing even trying to explain brother to sister And all. I don’t remember what I referred to her as in my post before because it was a little while ago now so I just stayed away from that.

Most addicts become addicts because their parents were addicts. Folks are waaaayyyyy to quick to dismiss their use of alcohol as an introduction for their kids to drug use. Monkey see monkey do. My son watched me smoke cigars all of his life now at 23 he has a $600 a month habit on a $70K salary. My wife blasts me about it every time she thinks to which is surprisingly often and she ain't wrong. Kids mostly learn from their parents.

I mean, crack was known to be highly addictive and frick up people's lives and one could become addicted just after a few hits.. That didn't stop people from trying it.

After Len Bias died on his first snort of coke, any curiosity I had about drugs went out the window. Pass me a Miller Lite.
This is basically how I now am with coke. I never used regularly but I’d have some once or twice a year if we were really getting after it and someone had it. Now? No thanks, wouldn’t risk it.
I have a friend whose husband is an absolute rager. She accepts it, god bless her, and she actually got him this thing to test his coke in to make sure it doesn’t have any fentanyl in it lolol.

It's very easy to say "oh I won't get hooked". The very real possibility of dying from trying something once is a little different. Shifting from "drugs are bad" to "you don't know whats in it and you could die" is a better strategy (both still wont stop the masses).

Well people see what happens when you take meth and they still try/do it.

Couldn't agree more. Fine young man otherwise but smokes 2-3 cigars a day and unlike his dear old dad who thinks $3 is a good one he is convinced $9-$10 is the floor.....
He hangs out in cigar lounges also. I like a good cigar lounge as much as anyone but maybe a couple of hours a month if that....he goes just about every day. He does have some interesting conversations with the older men who hang out there all day but it is a LOT of time...at least 8 or 10 hours a week. The older dudes at his cigar lounge tell me how fine a young man he is and most of them are retired and accomplished a lot in life but he is spending a fortune smoking cigars. Could be worse I guess....

if you take a look around you will see that a gracious plenty Americans are hell bent on self destruction....10 year old kids pushing 200 pounds, 30 year old women pushing 300....food is the worst drug there is cause you can't quit it altogether. It will get you as sure a Fentanyl though if abused...and will cause all manner of grief even if it don't kill you.

I’m not advocating drug use but statistics show that people that don’t do drugs tend to die 100% of the time also.
It’s baffling.
