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.

Drug ... that is 200 times more potent than heroin --- is sweeping Chicago That makes me 20 times more excited as long as this drug causes 10 times the fatal overdoses. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
You're an asshole. Would you be so smug and arrogant if someone in your family became addicted to heroin? Never mind - you wouldn't give a damn about them either. 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.”
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.
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.
Remind us again Paultard, that you are a libertarian BELIEVING what the NIH as a branch of the federal government is saying and I will give you testimony that according to a recent Rasmussen poll, 81% of all Americans think that the federal government is corrupt. It is unfortunate that you Paultards always go into a full prax-mode and treat libertarianism like a religion which closes your minds to the truth.
It's amazing how Puketard spits government hate and no trust 24/7... Until he funds a libtarded drug addict loving government branch, study or agency that supports how great drugs are.
It's amazing how Puketard spits government hate and no trust 24/7... Until he funds a libtarded drug addict loving government branch, study or agency that supports how great drugs are. He got caught like a rat in his own trap. But it just goes to show that Paultard libertarians are posters who like winning arguments more than being correct. They are simple minded and therefore find it to be the easiest political philosophy to argue. How do I know this? Just look at any thread posted on LF and see a problem in the world with the economy, drugs, environment or anything. Then look at the Paultards’ posts. A Paultard will have an answer to the problem just by reading the headline, and it's always the same answer.
as small as government possible or to put it another way, laissez-faire
Don't expect that poster to understand what you are talking about - he's the biggest idiot on the site bar none.
Do you know the reason?
Do you know the reason? Willful ignorance?
No. Tater argues his position because of pure bias. He was a do-nothing government worker for twenty years, never working a day in his life, and he is retired living on an infinite government stipend. He has developed the same ol' bureaucratic sense of entitlement over and above us "common folk" or mere "riff-raff" and broadcasts his arrogant opinions daily as the Washington DC do-nothing bureaucrats that suck Americans dry of their hard earned tax dollars. Do you understand tater, better?
Do you understand tater, better? Pretty good read on the Tater's mindset. FireIsland seems to share similar traits.
Between worthless potatoe peelers and donut eaters, America is doomed. We need creative people that take charge and make things happen; if you note: these two ol' worthless government rascals want to vote for their antithetical trump as POTUS. It is their way of making up for their own wrong doing in life: living off the fat o' land because of the good libertarians being forced to pay for their life support.
Lay off the glass pipe, Paultard. That's a joke. Most of the Paultards are smelly, dirty, drug addled hippies. They don't pay shit and post on chit chat channels all day.
I do not joke about ethical/moral and principled standards that all responsible Americans should share without a police state. You are brainwashed believing America needs a police state to rule over individual decisions; this means you add a government service where none is really required.
Look around you, dipshit. If America was a police state, you wouldn't be allowed to be an asshole 24/7.
"If"? You gotta be the most ignorant mofo on this or any other forum. Remember this in Boston? And guess what? If Trump is elected you will see it become even more pervasive. Of course, State-worshiping goons like you are supporting him for just that reason. Trump's Amerika:
You should not attempt to present two pictures of unrelated incidents and carefully select pictures which you use to induce people to rush to judge these two incidents as just another case of the use of excessive force without presenting an accompanying detailed unbiased narrative to fully explain the before, during and after in the two situations. In this post, you are intentionally trying to get people to rush to judgements without having all of the facts. In doing so, you are encouraging snap judgments to be made that are often based upon the use of stereotypes or prejudices by presenting only the pictures. We all must realize that It is very difficult not to have some mental “pre-conditions” in life … but we must also realize that it is even more difficult to not use them to make a quick judgement of a situation. You are presenting a situational condition that can trigger the opportunity to pre-judge or rush to judgement. You do this while omitting any of the facts to support those judgments. The confrontational situations you picture here almost always cause some to get on one side without stopping to try and understand all of the facts involved … without taking the time to see things clearly. These SWAT members and this officer may be doing something wrong. But we need to have enough information to decide that for ourselves and not have you leading us down the path by the nose to come to conclusion you want to force us to reach. We should not make a judgement about these officers and the situations until we have the time to collect and analyze the facts that should be driving that decision. Instead of “thinking fast” we should just try to get information. If we just stop and ask ourselves “what don’t I know?” about this situation, we will realize that is more important than what see in one split second isolated action shot from a long series of events.

Yeah - door to door warrantless searches. I bet the gun confiscations after Katrina didn't bother you either.
