  1. By the sound of his voice, this guy is laced in fentanyl.

  2. My boss pulled over on the side of the road yesterday and administered a dose of narcan to some guy lying on a front yard. I'm an LMSW and L-CASAC in NYS and work in the drug & alcohol field. It's getting nuts out there, folks. I had a patient who was a 19-yr-old female. She has already had 38 recorded overdoses. I know a lot of people say let them die, but I was one of them, so I have a different view on that theory. I garnered 4 degrees have been clear for over 14 yrs. Not a good idea to turn your back on people, because they got mixed up in some shit. Under the right conditions, almost anyone can get hooked on opiods. Dont be so high on your horse -- no pun intended.

  3.  @AsifLicious  I'm all honesty, my salary was rather hefty at the time, but I brought quite a bit of grief to many peoples lives, especially family and friends, I'm ashamed to admit. But the money I made while working in the metal workers union in NYC was ample, so stealing was never something I resorted to. Plus, i lived in Williamsburg Brooklyn right next to the cooper projects and the dope was cheap back then and very high quality, with no fentanyl, so us junkies lingered mostly and didnt merge with the soil. But my behavior was appalling. I see your point though. Undoubtedly, plenty of the people i advocate for have carried out the questions you asked. But hypothetically speaking, what do you propose we do about the problem? People tend to be very black and white on this issue, until they are adversely effected by this crisis, through a loved one. I wont say his name, but one of our US congressman brought his son to the clinic I work at during closing hrs and because the elections are approaching we were essentially forced to admit him and do so in a silent manner, not open to the public. In short, the said republican congressman (and no, I'm not a PC-SJW fucktard) has changed his views on this problem and is now working to figure out how we can resolve the problem. Let them die or incarceration -- which is more appealing? You probably put it in simple terms, as in, they're the ones who did it, so let them die, correct? Hopefully, you have a change of heart, bud. Over the yrs, I've noticed that the lowest earning quintiles have an extraordinarily challenging time increasing their social upward mobility. Years ago, experts said it was drugs that ravaged these urban neighborhoods. Now the problem can ti the suburbs. Better late than never in my book.

  4. This guy is writing about fentanyl, so in a sense hes an investigative journalist, to a degree. Unfortunately, he KNOWS LITTLE TO NOTHING about this drug, or anything opioid-related. And clearly, pharmacokinetics and pharmadynamics are not in his wheelhouse either, even aspects directly related to opioids or MAT medications. He may want to gain a more firm understanding of the main topic he was invited to discuss.

  5.  @WestHaddnin  In Pulp Fiction, it was supposed to be a shot of adrenalin that Travolta was giving to Uma. Its total bullshit of course, theres no medical procedure where a doctor utilizes a dose of adrenaline or any drug for that matter, directly into the heart. Not to mention, busting through the sternum in the process haha. Adrenalin (or epinephrine) is for other symptoms, not an opioid OD. You are right, too anyone can buy naloxone (Narcan). A few yrs back, in order to obtain a naloxone intramuscular syringe, the person had to complete a mandatory training seminar, but most states just hand them out at needle exchanges, etc. And as you said, they can be purchased at pharmacies. Used to be about a half grand lol.

  6. This is the second time in two days where joe brought up touching fentanyl and dying lol. The drug hes referring to is carfentanil (the guest mentioned it, why didn't he correct Joe?). Also, this guest is clueless on this topic. Hes authored a book on fentanyl, so in a sense hes an investigated the topic, right? Why not consult an expert? WTF! Its funny, when you understand a subject matter in depth then watch some person on a huge show who clearly lacks the necessary knowledge to speak on the topic fluently. It makes me wonder about all the bullshit that's fed to us and we accept it as truth haha. Obviously, I'm not saying everyone is a sucker, but there sure is a lot of them and its partially due to people like this guy.
