Drug that is 200 times more potent than heroin is sweeping Chicago

As rampant as the heroin epidemic has become, there is something new and even more dangerous.

By: Elizabeth Matthews

 Apr 13 2016

As rampant as the heroin epidemic has become, there is something new and even more dangerous.

A drug 80 to 200 times more potent than heroin is showing up all over Chicago. Overdoses from a synthetic form of fentanyl are being reported in most collar counties.

Users have been combining heroin and fentanyl for years. Fentanyl is much stronger than heroin and gives you a better high. But officials say there is a new form of fentanyl that may be catching users off guard.

“It’s monumental. I have never seen anything like it,” said Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil.

Heroin overdose deaths are skyrocketing. In Will County, there were 53 heroin-related overdose deaths last year. This year, that number could double. So far, 18 people have died, with two of them after overdosing on synthetic fentanyl.

“We believe that the victims are out perhaps top buy heroin and this is being substituted for heroin and they are actually overdosing on it rather quickly,” said O’Neil.

O’Neil says synthetic fentanyl looks the same as heroin or prescription fentanyl.

Fentanyl is one of the most powerful painkillers on the market and is usually given to cancer patients through a patch or an injection.

A DEA official says the powerful synthetic form is often created in amateur labs, and is coming from China.

“Same affect chemically, structurally, a little bit different, but the same affect,” O’Neil said.

Stepping Stones is a treatment center in Joliet and serves several hundred people a year. Many of them are now being treated for heroin addiction.

“About a quarter of those or a little more are opiate addictions, mostly heroin, and the prescription pain meds ten years ago we would have a handful,” said Paul Lauridsen of Stepping Stones Treatment.

Now, synthetic fentanyl seems to be sweeping the market.

“When people don’t' know what they are getting and they get a hold of something like that, it's tragic,” Lauridsen said.

O’Neil says the topic of heroin addiction is hard to discuss, but is a must with all members of your family.

“Another disturbing issue age 16 the youngest victim that was claimed in our county by heroin all the way up to a 73-year-old grandmother,” O’Neil said.

I thought they were talking about government handouts for a minute,but that drug has been addicting 75 percent of Chicago for decades now.

The War on Drugs provides a significant part of the incentive to use the newest garage-lab/foreign crap ... since the better understood drugs are legally punished whereas the law will by definition always be one step behind the garage/foreign chemists.

That's the difference between LIBERAL weak you and conservative stronger me. I don't allow ANYTHING to justify away PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY... even if it's a relative. Drug addicts don't just accidentally develop a meth, heroine or cocaine addiction and fall on the needle. Only you libtarded SOFT thinking shitheads have equated drug addiction to a disease. 100 years ago society would never have thought that some douchebag that WILLINGLY pounds his head against a wall... dies from the desease called brain damage.

If one of my family is so stupid to shoot a toxin in their veins... and then overdose, well F them. They knew the dangers.

100 years ago

100 years ago, heroin was legal.

Coming Out of the Drug War Haze?

Most drug addicts would love nothing more than to straighten themselves out. But simply ordering them to do so is about as effective as ordering a diabetic to produce more insulin. They can't—or they would have long ago.

Drug courts can help. Because they involve substance-abuse counseling and other social services, they are expensive. But they have a good record: In Virginia, those who go through drug court have a recidivism rate of 14 percent, compared to 38 percent for similar offenders who go through regular courts.

Nationwide, three-fourths of drug-court graduates remain arrest-free for two or more years. The commonwealth has 37 drug courts now, up from zero a couple of decades ago.

In this regard Virginia and other states have begun to emulate Portugal, which decriminalized drug use (but not distribution) in 2001. Those cited for possession are sent to administrative, rather than criminal, courts. The dissuasion commissions, as they are called, encourage drug users to enter treatment programs by suspending fines if they do.

Drug use has not risen in Portugal; in fact, it has declined. So have drug-related deaths and HIV infection rates. And deaths from drug overdose rates? They're the second-lowest in Europe, behind Romania's. Portugal's rate of drug-overdose deaths is 3 per 1 million citizens. That is the total for all drugs of any kind.

If the U.S. had an equivalent rate, the number of Americans who died from drugs in a given year would be 954—instead of 47,000, including 10,000 for heroin alone.

In the war on drugs, maybe the time has come to try doing it right.

F' all of them. I don't feel sorry for them. Your sorrow is an EXCUSE for one more asshole to stick that needle in their welfare arm for the first time. Why not... it's a "desease" you'll feel sorry for them over... then society needs to help them.

Addiction is a disease you blithering dildo.

It is you who is the blithering dildo to try and promote addiction as a disease.

Addiction is not a brain disease, It is a choice. You can quit with your “addiction is a disease” and you can’t stop it without medical treatment.

Why is it necessary to always mentioned addiction with a qualifier? No one goes around spouting off constantly by referring to cancer as “the disease of cancer.” There is no qualifier, it’s just “cancer” simply because it is so obvious that cancer is really a disease.

Cancer cannot be directly stopped by mere choices, ergo no qualifier is needed. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is obviously no disease and to call it as such you are redefining the term “disease.”

What Is Drug Addiction?

Drug addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the drug addict and those around them. Drug addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain.

Although it is true that for most people the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can affect a person's self-control and ability to make sound decisions, and at the same time create an intense impulse to take drugs.

Drug use is a “libertarian” things with these Paultard assholes ...

They cannot begin to grasp just how much drug abuse undermines individual freedom and erodes the very core of their precious libertarian ideals because of the association between drug use when related to social and economic failure.

They advocate that addictive substances are okay so long as they do no harm to anyone but themselves. But their harmless world does no exist in the real world of drug abuse. There are numerous examples that drug users harm not only themselves, but also many others.

Because they are so adamant in their belief, it’s okay for them to live with domestic violence, pernicious parenting and criminal acts while under the influence of their precious drugs. In their zest, they never take time to realize that drug users’ freedom to consume costs the community their safety, and in many cases their liberty.

A variation on this deranged type of posting are posts that contain nothing but personal attacks and name calling, lacking any substance and failing to actually promote critical thinking or to promote or defend a sensible and sane position. Mentally ill retards use this technique because they became exhausted trying to write something sane and sensible, or they were so proud of having finally written something that wasn't totally retarded they find themselves compelled to keep reposting it.

Why, you might ask, is this a sure sign of mentally ill retards? Because these people don't have the mental horsepower to articulate a cogent statement. They have to rely on web sites to do their speaking. Because they're mentally ill retards. 97% of mental health experts agree.

See the difference ...

You want a medical opinion, you want to believe a doctor ... then believe Dr. Marc Lewis who was himself a longtime addict as well as professor of developmental psychology when in his book, The Biology of Desire, he says that “addiction is not a disease, it’s simply a nasty habit.”

If addiction is a disease, then why do most addictions end spontaneously without treatment. For example, 75% of heroin-addicted Vietnam vets kick the drug when they returned home without treatment.

This addiction is a disease theory is fostered with powerful money forces behind it. It opens up profit opportunities from sea to shining sea. But more important than that, it is a comforting crutch. You see, you are not mortally flawed if you catch the flu … are you? Then the bleeding heart liberals want to use the analogy that you are not mortally flawed if you are an addict.

With this said, I do not expect you Paultards who go into a full prax-mode and treat your libertarianism like a religion to listen anyways.

That's a SIDE EFFECT from the willing, knowing, INTENTIAL and reckless act of using controlled substances, douch bag. Not a disease.

I don't give a flying fuck what libtarded yella report you got this from. It's 100% WRONG. Furthermore, I don't give a shit of libtarded America adopts such nonsense and 99% of today's doctors agree... ITS WRONG, asshole.

Remind us all again what field of medicine you have your degree in.

The GED that you finally passed after 3 tries does not qualify.

Since when did I ever say our government doesn't have libtarded scumbags employed throughout it?

Fuck off, Paultard. It's your Paultard ideals that side with today's libtarded leftist DRUG ideals.

Yeah, we all get it - everyone who does not share your neanderthal views is a "libtard".

Addiction is a disease

To feed one's addiction, rather than get help to stop, is a choice.

A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.

Reports reveal ... Prince died from overdose --- of opioid fentanyl

Junho 11, 2016

Prince died from an overdose of a synthetic opioid called fentanyl the local medical examiner has found

On Thursday, Mauzy said his clients never delivered, dispensed or administered any medication to Prince. He weighed 112 pounds at the time of his death.

"The decedent self-administered fentanyl", the medical examiner's report said, listing cause of death as "fentanyl toxicity" and noting it was accidental.

Paramedics performed CPR but were unable to revive him, authorities said.

The untimely death of funk superstar Prince may have been prevented by addressing his opioid addiction much earlier, suggests the man who called 911 after finding the musician's lifeless body. Howard Kornfeld, an addiction treatment doctor has also stated he was in touch with Prince's representative the day before Prince died. According to CBS Minnesota, Andrew was in Minneapolis to consult with Prince on behalf of his father to draw up a plan on how he could treat his addiction. Illicit use is also a growing problem, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says: It is increasingly winding up in the wrong hands through pharmacy theft, fake prescriptions and illegal distribution by doctors and patients.

A prominent doctor says the death of Prince, pictured speaking at the NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles in March 2011, will help raise awareness of the dangers of fentanyl and other powerful synthetic opioids. For manner of death, a box was marked for "accident".

The illegal distribution of fentanyl resulting in death carries a mandatory minimum 20 years behind bars in federal court. If it's the latter, someone could face criminal charges carrying years, even decades in prison. "If it wasn't prescribed?"

Fentanyl is a painkiller that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to medical experts.

What's more, there are numerous ways to misuse and overdose on fentanyl, by applying multiple skin patches or eating one, Agrawal said.

"That would be something that you would know".

If the fentanyl was prescribed by a doctor, who got it for Prince? The medications were not specified in a search warrant for the Minnesota hospital that employed Schulenberg at the time.

On April 7, Prince postponed two performances at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta from his Piano & A Microphone Tour; the venue released a statement saying he had influenza. Billboard says no artist has had that many albums in the Top 10. With a slight smile, he jokes about having been "under the weather". His voice seems a bit weak at times while speaking, but sounds fine when singing during his 80-minute show.

First responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used in suspected opioid overdoses.

Prince was last seen on the eve of his death around 8pm at his compound in Paisley Park in Minneapolis. "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers", he tells fans.

The day before Prince died, his team called an eminent opioid addiction specialist in California seeking urgent help for the singer, an attorney working for the specialist and his son said. Unable to immediately fly to Minnesota, Kornfeld sent his son Andrew in an effort to convince the musician to seek long-term care at his Recovery Without Walls center in Mill City, California.

Prince Rogers Nelson, full name of Prince, died on April 21 after he was found unconscious in an elevator at Paisley Park. The tests were conducted by the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office, and they made the results public through a press release that they posted on their Twitter account.
