His death is what brought it to the spot light. As unfortunate and tragic as it was, he helped so many people when he passed
Think SM has a lot to do with it RC. When Elvis died, was driving back home and heard about it on my CB radio, truckers chatting about it. Turned on the radio to hear a string of Elvis songs. My old CB handle was ‘Challenger’ as my Challenger was my daily transport back then. Amazing recalling how handy the CB was back then to get info on road conditions, bears, and such. Wow, I’m old..
Think it is a tolerance build up requiring more of the drug to obtain the desired effect. Some build up an incredible tolerance that would kill others at a fraction of the dose.
Oh yeah - I'm right there w/you on the buying off the street thing. The fentanyl lacing alone would preclude me from even a passing thought of doing that. I don't know if you ever read and followed that several year story about that kid up in Oregon or maybe WA, can't remember exactly. It was a few years back. He started a little pill mill operation in his basement - everthing was done on the dark net. He bought a pill making machine and was buying fentanyl from China delivered to his house via USPS and started making Oxy pills and selling them the same way all over the country. He bought more machines and was cranking out an incredible number of pills and making many millions $$$ all out of his basement, all by himself and all regular postal or fedex delivery to customers. The scheme was simple but incredibly extensive and went on for years before he was finally busted. It was an absolute mind bender what he was able to do. Famous under an alias on the dark net. I wish i could remember the title of the last and most comprehensive story so I could post it. There's a link to it. Unless you followed it and read it all the way to the end you wouldn't believe it. A number of customers OD,d and that was how he was finally caught - but in the end they could only prove one death attributable to him even tho they knew of 5/6 others. He had an incredible run and it was a captivating story all the way from start to his finish in prison. If I recall correctly he was like 20ish when he started. A pin head of the fentanyl mixed with other stuff to the exact look of an oxy pill. They had pics and all.
Knew I was already sharing TOO much information or I would have included the model, lol.
I could never be a drug user....I have enough trouble forcing myself to finish a course of anti-biotics when required. Post my tooth implant surgery where I took the opportunity to have full anathesitic....I struggled for three days to poop afterwards. Eventually started pushing out what can only be described as over-grown pinecones. Man they were painful.
Cataract??? Or Rincoln?
Being a mopar guy - think it was an Imperial - the one with the big fins..
