"Fentanyl is an opium-derived pain reliever and is considered at least 80 times stronger than morphine. In 2006, people in major population centers such as the Twin Cities, Philadelphia and Detroit were selling fentanyl on the street as heroin, leading to deaths, Falkowski said. That problem seems to have abated after the arrest of suspects in Chicago, and no new cases have been reported in the Twin Cities since 2006, according to federal authorities".

HOLY SHIT!!  :o :o

Like I have said before on the Y board, I had a roomate who had sickle cell and got his hands on some 'lollipops' aka fentanyl... Well he was a druggie to say the least and I wondered what he was (for lack of better terms) sucking on ...so I tried that shit and INSTANTLY...like a wave of sensation flowing over your body I could feel this shit. I remember watching the FREINDS finale thinking i was going to die cause my heart was beating slow as hell. This shit make oxys look like beer to everclear...

Oh...you mean the cartels that prohibition CREATE by forcing people to buy their drugs on the street and not from a legitimate supplier?  Right, those cartels - those same cartels who love making 20 times the profit on drugs because they are illegal and would lose 95% of their profits if this system ever changed.  Yep - the US government sure showed them!  lol.

In reality, it is the people within the US government lobbying for drugs to be illegal who also reap profit off the illegal drug trade.  And hey, I'm sure a lot of people would sell drugs if they were never going to be caught.  Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin is a great example:

its easy to OD on painkillers when your heart is enlarged and about to blow up from all the juice you took and when your liver and kidneys wont cleanse your system. a healthy non juice head wouldnt have died like that moron.

Opiate based drugs fuck up a lot of people.. Sadly, no one gives a shit as opiates are mostly used by the upper class or outcasts of society.. The wealthy getting high on codine is not something people tend to look at.

But someone who wants to build a larged muscle physique, or smoke a joint on his front porch is a hardcore criminal.  ::)

The war on drugs is a failure. It's been proven to cause more damage than prevent. It's pathetic how so many are too stupid to understand this.

Not in moderation.

Drinking a few beers at a BBQ isn't going to kill you. I've found out that moderation is key and have a few beers on the weekends; although I've cut out weed.

Steroids technically never kills anyone.  However, they do cause health problems in the long run.
Are you telling me that many former pro bodybuilders die because of diuretics only?
