I'm starting a new Alert thread. My previous one is closed to further replies. I'll never understand some things about ECF.
I heard this morning that Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, many times stronger than morphine or her0ine, has been flooding into this country the last few years. I knew that, as most of us have heard about it. What I didn't know is that it's being used to lace street products of all kinds, some of which we can't mention in this forum, but today I learned it is used to lace vape products sold at street level, which means the guy selling things off the record in bars, nightclubs, at races, flea markets, public events and so forth.
Fentanyl is not only terribly addictive, but is deadly in small amounts, and what happens is that people who overdose and go to the emergency room risk being ventilated, which means being killed.
Many of us have to continuously address peoples concerns about our vapes, and we promote vaping to others who are trying to quit cigarettes. Now it is very important for us to tell people what should be obvious: don't buy vape gear, liquids, disposables, or anything vape related, anywhere but in real brick & mortar vape shops or from reputable online sellers.
Gawd, it's always something, to threaten our access to smoking cessation and harm reduction products. It will take one nanny on a soapbox to get our vapes taken away, even though I wouldn't doubt that tobacco "loosies" sold on the street are also laced with Fentanyl. It is just another weapon against us.
