Thats right fucked up man, I live in Fl so shit is fucked here, I had an experience with a person overdosing and nearly dying mid last year around August.

My sister was using the restroom in a building when the lady in the stall next to her went limp and fell to the ground needle in her arm lol My sister crawled under the stall when she realized she was totally out of it, to her credit and unlocked the stall and ran out to get me and dial the cops, my sister who is very much aware of drugs thanks to youtube videos and once she saw the needle it was kinda obvious what had happened I was vaping outside the front of the store waiting on her cause she forgot to give me the car keys before using the restroom XD

and anyway I am a prepper and overall crazy person so I have suboxone I both use recreationally and also have both forms of rescue spray and strip hoping to god my lil sis wasn't making this shit up lmao but she fucking wasnt dude and I didn't like rushing into the ladies restroom but my sis had unlocked her stall door and literally nobody had entered the restroom even after my sister came out frantically lmao and I was literally begging god as I was running that somebody else please be in the bathroom too and don't make me do this solo while my sis just bailed and stayed outside calling 911

But me frantically rushing in with a giant bag with a medic symbol on it finally got SOMEBODYS attention not that I was expecting anyone else in walmart to do something lmao

But I found her still slumped over the toilet thankfully pants up lmao but she was completely out of it but thankfully didn't have spit and foam and everything everywhere, she was unconscious but it wasn't a nightmare scenario with zero breathing and airways clogged with puke, drugs aren't cool kids, and so I quickly administered both shots of Nalaxone in the nose and thank fucking god thats when a female police officer ran in the door, somebody apparently did call the police when I ran into the bathroom with a giant bag I don't really know if they did but that would've been funny, she initially thought I was some kind of medic because I had gloves on, but I'm just that crazy enough to have disposable gloves ready in my car toolkit I really am frightened of fentanyl and it scares me so much I took the time to put that shit on before I touched her

I was frightened because she didn't 'come-to' quickly but seconds after I administered the second dose the female officer came in the doorway I was like FINALLY A WITNESS lmao it wasn't the first time I've administered to somebody that's overdosed, but it was the first time I've ever done it to somebody clearly dying and my heart was like 200bpm but the female officer was the coolest ever and believed me when I quickly said she's a overdose victim IDK what from but Suboxone works for opioids and meth too I think, or least I've seen it given to meth OD victims

I was scared to touch the needle so it actually stayed in her arm, maybe she shoved it in deeper when she slumped over IDK but fentanyl can be like UBER powerful and I saw this cop almost die from just being near some and inhaling a couple particles so I was trying to keep my distance, fucking shit is whack man

FOR THE RECORD I believe that OD victims are indeed VICTIMS as unless stated otherwise as suicide, they are a victim of unintended consequences. Also I didn't want her name and I didn't want my fucking name out there, so I was like please no names exchanged even though actually my sister should be given the credit as she had enough sense to recognize what happen and alert someone

The girl is probably fucking dead overdosed again at this point but maybe she changed her life you never know I have to laugh a lot because of the insanity of some situations

ITS FLORIDA YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR but not me I was born here :(

It is EASY to not die of a drug overdose…

DONT TAKE HARD DRUGS.
DO NOT EVER TRY THEM.

It is so simple.

Yet armies of people make excuses for those that DO try them, use them, then abuse them.




JUST. DONT. USE. DRUGS.
NO. FUCKING. EXCUSES.

It is VERY simple.

sorry I disagree I have been prescribed fentanyl and morphine for years. And I know a few ppl that started off like myself on a prescription but they must have a bad gene or something and ended up turning into full blown addicts and losing everything.

I also know people like myself who are on a script for a medical condition and live a totally normal life. Well, I say normal but for all intents and purposes I am a legal addict, Iv had to go tot he dr cos I lost my script or some one helped themselves to my pills for their "bad back" and left me short.. withdrawals are the most unpleasant thing believe me. unpleasant enough to scare you into keeping using the stuff to avoid them.

addiction should be treated as an illness. some people end up addicts through no fault of their own.

The people you need to go after are the fuckers making the stuff and selling it to these weak poor bastards who end up unable to control themselves.

A lot of overdoses are due to people not realising how fast their tolerance can drop and think they are taking a normal dose and end up poisening themselves by accident. well its obvious they didnt mean to OD.

the whole things pretty sad and fucked up.

I see a lot of dead Mayo Monkeys here. Nothing of value was lost

I'm going to piss some people off, but fully legalize all drugs and half of these deaths will not happen

2. Anyone who touches drugs is a flaming moron, end of story. Drive to any major city and see the shambling zombies at every stop light, for fuck's sake. You FUCKING KNOW where this will take you. Maybe the idiot back in eighteen-ninety-fuck-whatever who tried opium in the den didn't know, BUT YOU DO. So stop fucking making excuses for your own bad choices, grow a pair, and grow up. We all have our temptations. But if you want to make something of yourself instead of a specimen on a slab, you grow up.

3. Morons and idiots like you who insist there's a "Big Pharma" conspiracy to get you hooked make it HARDER AND HARDER for me to prescribe pain meds to my patients who DESERVE them. Patients like the single mother last week who came in for double reconstructive surgery after a full bilateral mastectomy. When I went in to do the surgery it turns out the cancer's not quite gone and is in her ribs now. She's in terrible pain from all the muscle tissue I had to remove between her ribs. IT'S FUCKING AGONY TO BREATHE. And guess what? She can't take the morphine pump home anymore, thanks to dumbfucks like you. So now who's going to take her kids to school while she's in the hospital so she can get her pain under control? Who's paying for those two nurses to sign off on every dose?

4. Get over yourselves. You're nothing special.

Are you really a doctor?

I got injected with fentanyl for surgery. I found out from buying my medical records that the doctor had oxycodone ready for me but didn't end up giving it to me. I got a bottle of codeine instead which I'd used to cope with post-surgical depression and get high off of for a year and then it stopped doing its trick. I still took it for several months last year as a last resort for my asthma-induced cough. So glad to have been opioid-free for 7 months and hope it stays that way.

Now I understand why there's an opioid crisis. Big Pharma pushed it because addiction is profitable. And I was taught bullshit in school that drugs from pharmacies were a-okay. My dad was seriously injured in a car accident when I was in middle school. By the time I left the house he was still on pain pills and I didn't question it because I was taught that whatever a doctor gives you is supposed to be good. After my own fentanyl experience I realized I was fucking raised by a junkie who had gotten into that situation due to bad luck and an exploitative medical industry. He was a violent bastard towards my mother after getting hooked.

It's not always so black and white. I became an opiate addict in 1970 at the age of 14. My doctor gave me Narcotics for menstrual cramps. I was an addict before I knew what an addict was. I got cut off in 1979 and I used heroin everyday from 1970 until 2002. I tried 12 steps and it didn't work for me. God knows I tried. On Feb 1, 2001 after too many ODs, I walked into the Methadone clinic. I was 47 years old so I knew it was going to be a life long commitment. I used heroin while on Methadone until July 1, 2002. That was the day that I saw my best friend in her coffin from a Heroin overdose. I didn't grow up wanting to be a junkie, I wanted to be a Archeologist. I never graduated. When I was using, there was no such thing as lab made Fentanyl, and Pharmaceutical Fentanyl was not sought out. That's probably why I'm still alive. I just want to say that addiction is a disease, it's not the Devil, it's not a moral shortcoming. It's a fatal disease that tells us we aren't sick. It's fatal, but cam be treated, through abstinence 12 step programs, or with Suboxone and or Methadone. I use Methadone. There is not one way to beat this. And it's no one's fault. I come from an upper middle class family. My dad had his o we n business and Mt mom was a homemaker. It wasn't anyone's fault. Some people say it was my doctors fault because I was so young, but I don't ba m e him. Parents, family and friends, Narcan is free, I have Narcan with me because if I see someone ODing, they aren't going to die, not on my watch. Please carry this lifesaving medication on you everywhere you go. I'm so sorry for the thousands of addicts who died and for the families and friends. Remember, as long as a person is alive, there is hope
