Just be careful out there man. It's already crazy to me how you just accepted this drug from a random girl you met. It's hard nowadays to trust anyone selling anything, especially when you have people lacing all kinds of things with fentanyl.
What scares me even more, is that despite reading his entire post history multiple times over the years, I now find myself in the midst of becoming ‘intimately acquainted’ with heroin, in a manner that is almost identical to that of u/SpontaneousH and I cannot seem to stop myself from going down that same path. It’s terrifying how strong the psychological dependence of heroin truly is, even in the face of logic and reason, while deep down *you know* that you are royally fucking up your entire life one step at a time.
Coming from someone who’s been fucking with it for the last 5 years, resist at all costs.
Took me 2 years to develop a habit, been fighting it for 3. Been on methadone for a full year and I can’t stop wasting my fuckin’ money. Sometimes I wish I had gotten on subs because I couldn’t use, but yada yada the structure of the clinic is nice, subs make me feel like shit
I’m encouraging you now to reach out to someone who can help you through this. It sounds like you’re on the brink and with this drug, that line can be crossed at any second. Please, reach out to someone who can help you. A friend, a family member, anyone who can be of some help to you before it’s to late. Try and see if there are any programs near you. It’s not to late, and you CAN beat this.
It’s mostly Fentanyl now, I’ve been clean for 15 months and got certified as a Community Healthcare Worker for Opioid Abuse. My main problem was continuing to search for real heroin amidst a fentanyl epidemic, you’ll never find that Dragon.
Please seek help immediately. I have worked closely with patients with substance use disorder and it *rarely rarely rarely* ends kind of ok. The high you’re chasing is not worth the destruction you’ll end up with instead. You can turn it around but it’s gotta be now—this is not something you can put off until tomorrow or after one more time.
Trying things JUST ONCE will do a lot of harm. Living life is about enjoying every small moment, not trying every single thing once. You should know that by 19. And if you dont believe me, go check out u/spontaneousH because he tried things JUST ONCE.
What a fucking ride that was. Scary. It somehow made me want to try heroine. I've never even smoked weed and I'm 28M. Then in the comments, I seen someone who is now addicted say that they only tried H because of spontaneous's post. Crazy how the world works. Glad he is okay.
After going through every post he made, the first one makes it sounds awesome to try then the rabbit hole gets deeper and darker and eventually dashed the thought of even remotely being curious of trying it.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve never had a substance use problem, but have 100% noticed that I have an addictive personality and problems with compulsive behavior. I’d not ruled out “just trying” certain drugs until reading their posts just now.
Edit typo
Would you be interested in saying more? Have you noticed a specific age range or demographic? From my understanding opiates are across the board for who uses but I’m curious what you have seen.
Not like he just bought it off some stranger, she was indulging in it with him..
But yes I agree, be careful out there! Too much shit getting mixed in leading to ODs.
3 of my friends OD'd when one of them brought coke laced with opiates. the one who brought it was hospitalized the other two died on scene.
he only lived because he had built a tolerance to the opiates regularly cut with his coke.
he killed himself the day he was released because he effectively killed his best friend.
OP, put the blow down please.
This exact thing happened to my friend except my friend lived and it killed his younger brother on site right in front of him. This stuff will kill you even if its your first time so be careful.
I'm so sorry for your friends. I lost my two best friends to heroin. I'll never really be the same, honestly.
**Please stay away from hard drugs, OP. I know they feel good, but the damage they cause isn't worth it. I promise.**
then I pray you never lose you best friend like that.
we may not have been best friends but to lose two close acquaintances and then a good friend was really tough for everyone in our group.
3 years of no drinking or hard drugs. the pots a bit harder to kick, but I can live with a pot problem.
Of course but my point being that this was a random girl he decided to try this with. Hey I'm glad it went well the first time but he might not be so lucky the next time (which I'm hoping there isn't a next time, coke is expensive).
My uncle passed away last year because his lifelong buddies gave him some shit laced with fentanyl. Nobody knew it had that shit, they were getting their shit from the same dealer they always had. My uncle was unfortunately the only one who took it first and his body was discovered the morning after.
The takeaway from this is that people are cutting corners with this, it's too risky to be accepting things from strangers.
Can confirm.
My brother was clean for years, he had a rough break up with his girl, wasn't able to see his kid, and was obviously devastated.
He wanted to use but didn't want to use heroin for fear of getting fentanyl. He knew I'd been using the stuff the entire time he was clean and I must've overdosed maybe five or six times a year. (I know, I'm very lucky to be alive but at the time, an overdose was almost a welcome prospect due to how miserable i was)
I had convinced him to get on the methadone clinic, knowing how he is and what the risk was. and he went for a few days. I was so relieved.
My partner, daughter, and I went back across the country and then got the call not even a week later.
He met someone (we still don't know who) at the clinic and was sold a bag of "cocaine".
he went into the bathroom at the clinic to shoot it and never woke up.
The worst part was this... My mom was there, she drove him everyday to get dosed.. She was beginning to getting angry at how long he was taking. Then she saw the ambulance haul ass up to the door and rush in. She knew, but she didn't want it to be true so she waited. A minute later, a woman who saw him get out of her car came out sobbing and just apologizing and my mom just sat there and couldn't move or speak.
It wasn't coke. It was fentanyl. He'd never done fentanyl before, he quit heroin a year or so before it hit the scene. They put that shit in ALL drugs now. There's a high chance you will accidently consume it if you use ANY drugs. Again, can confirm, I used meth for a bit and stopped using fentanyl or opiates all together but still continued to pop dirty for it cause it was in the meth.
All It takes one time and someone who doesn't care whether or not they kill you with the shit they're selling, and it's over. Done. You're gone. Be careful please.
This happened in 2019 but is still so difficult to talk about so I avoid having to talk about it at all. This post was an exception due to how nonchalant OP is about taking drugs from random people, even if they joined in. No one has the same tolerance and no one reacts the same. I'd hate to not mention the risks and find out somehow that OP, or anyone for that matter, died from similar circumstances.
A) that sucks, I am so sorry
B) serious question from someone who hasn't really done drugs, why would the people selling the drugs want to put fentanyl in their drugs and kill off their market of drug users? I know I'm missing something here because there are people dying all over the place but I just, um.. I don't get it
1) fentanyl is cheaper than coke, so if you sell it as coke, your profit margins go up.
2) despite how addictive coke is, fentanyl is way way way more addicting and getting your customers as addicted as you can means they buy more and you make more money.
3) unfortunately the market is usually big enough they don't really care if their customers start to OD, there's always more junkies on the street looking for drugs.
It depends on the person because you can build a tolerance to opioids, but in general yes, 2mg of fentanyl is considered a potentially deadly dose while just over a gram is considered the lethal dose of cocaine.
It's not guaranteed death, it's just not well regulated. In other words, it's incredibly potent & people selling it on the street don't know how to dose it correctly so it becomes lethal. I had an opiate addiction on and off for a decade and finally stopped for good in 2018, right as Fentanyl was becoming more ubiquitous. But I had done it many years ago like around 2009 when my bf at the time got ahold of the patches (which were normally prescribed to cancer patients). We would cut off small pieces and chew them for hours. Neither of us died. It was medical grade fentanyl and we were careful about how much we did at any given moment.
People with a fent tolerance OD all the time. Sometimes you get dope that is exponentially stronger than the last batch.
People who are opiate naive are at a greater risk for OD though statistically.
Lol oops, I just typed out this exact thing basically before seeing that you already answered that question.
I didn't log on for a while and was going through my notifications one by one and answered, only to click on the next notification to see that the answer was provided already 🙃 😅
I’ve heard that in some ways it’s unintentional or was at first anyway. There was a story maybe npr? about NYC bartenders all learning how to use narcan because so many people were ODing from what they though was coke but actually had fentanyl. The theory was that because drug dealers have gotten lazy and just bag one set of drugs and then bag another kind without proper cleanup. So cross contamination is possible. But that doesn’t explain all the fake and counterfeit drugs that are purely fentanyl.
why, to create a stronger co sumer base.
quiting coke sucks, but it's doable.
try going cold turkey from opiates and coke? good luck.
and the addict associates all those good feelings with the coke, they don't even know they're an opiates addict as well sometimes.
I'm so so so sorry for your loss, that's so fucked up.
I know how hard it is to open up about something like that, but maybe your story will make people think twice, and save some lives ♡
thank you 💞
And yes, that was my hope when I decided to share this. Still is.
If anybody sees this and changes their mind about copping some drugs or they take some extra precautions after reading my comment, then that's the least I could do.
It's a touchy subject because, ya know, he was my brother and I loved him. But I think I'm realizing that a good way to heal and grow from it may be to just share my experience and loss with people, in hopes that whoever needs to hear it, does.
Maybe then it wouldn't feel like he died for nothing, ya know?
If folks are gonna use substances that have potential for cross contamination. I urge you to just get some testing strips or kit. You are worth that little extra.
I can’t speak to where but I’m sure that Dancesafe.org would be a good reference.
I think about all of the famous people that have died from fentanyl overdoses and assume they likely knew the people. But that’s not good enough anymore.
Stay safe, stay alive.
Yeah, back in the day wasn’t a big deal but I wouldn’t trust it these days,that’s how the govment won the war on drugs, you get high ya die, or ya just don’t do drugs, I don’t know, I’m big on over indulgence so my heart would explode even if it wasn’t laced with something, getting olds a bitch
I was out with a friend at a gay bar and this guy was flirting with her and offered to let us have some coke. She was down, I pulled her into the bathroom and said I do not wanna die if fentanyl poisoning today lol
Who's that one guy on Reddit who said he was going to try heroin, then everyone warned him against it and he basically said he wasn't stupid and wouldn't get addicted? Then he got addicted and tried more drugs, then had to do rehab?
Stay away, you're in a vulnerable position where blow can initially be used to make friends but before you know it you're thinking about it often and your friends end up being using buddies
Not only can you, but if you're into that kind of thing I encourage it. I'll never encourage someone to try it for the first time, but second time onwards? Hell yes get it in ya.
Knowing how much you enjoyed it, should give you pause. Really think about it.
You already know this drug is highly addictive. And you enjoyed it. A lot. It would be pretty easy for you to decide you really love it and become addicted to it.
It’s not worth it. No drug is.
Had a 3yr daily habit. Do not recommend. Nearly OD'd, made my breath horrible, and spent way too much.
Habit stopped when I took myself to the Dr because my heart rate at rest was way too high (even after laying off it for a few days) and had chest pains.
Haven't touched it since and never will.
A friend of mine tells me story of their friend going to the doctor and being told he was melting a hole in the roof of his mouth. Not sure how true this story is but I've def heard similar stories before.
If you’re going to continue partying find out if you can get narcan incase ANY drug you do has fent in it but narcan also helps reverse coke od’s as well. OD’s happen easier than you think and TEST YOUR SHIT. If you’re going to do it at least be as safe as you can be. I’ve been off of opiates for almost 7 years now and still carry narcan with me in my car or backpack just in case someone around me overdoses. Just be responsible about any drug use, if you’re going to do them and remember it’s not a party if it happens every night. Be safe
Do not do any substances (drugs or alcohol) when you're bored and lonely. It becomes your go to whenever you need to cope with something unpleasant. Go for a walk, listen to music or an audio book, start bingewatching a new series, do a cooking tutorial, etc. Engage your sober mind in other ways of coping or you're starting yourself down a bad, bad road. You'll end up addicted and not know how you got there since you started only doing it for fun...or so you thought. Your boredom and loneliness made you vulnerable to suggestion and now your going to need to put up a fight against a temptation that was never there before.
When you come down [read about the human cost of cocaine](https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/doing-drugs-for-fun-channel-5-interview-amber-documentary-347730) and find other ways to giggle.
Legalize it and bring the manufacturing into the country, problem solved.
You are not morally responsible for the actions of others. If you’ve ever bought a diamond, coffee, chocolate, sugar, tobacco, anything made of cotton, or any of a million things made in China, then you’ve probably purchased something that was made from slave labor. Even if you buy American, prison labor accounts for more manufacturing than people seem to realize. Also, have you ever ridden in a car? Because the amount of suffering that goes into oil makes the cartels look pretty tame.
If you do substances such as coke, just be careful. Don’t abuse it like I did as a teen and ended up smoking rocks by the time I was 16. Also welcome to the Houston metro area!
Leave coke alone period.
I was a crackhead so can’t use me as an example.
However working in the restaurant industry for years I observed how slowly destructive this stuff can be.. financially and more importantly health wise I got smart and listened to this older guy who had been through it all and he said “old men don’t do that”.
With that statement in mind I watch former coworkers not even make it til 30 in some instances.
Use some extreme judgment and also note they are lacing just about everything with fentanyl now ☠️
You can be the smartest person you know, but you won't outsmart a growing addiction. Your intelligence will be your downfall because you'll logic your way out of every bad situation.
Wake up with a massive nosebleed? It's just a little dried blood.
Wake up in a strange bar bathroom? It was probably a good night out.
Desperately licking your coke nail for traces of powder? Just trying to be frugal and not waste anything.
You'll keep making excuses. You'll convince everyone- at first. You'll convince yourself that you're functioning at your best.
By the time you start to question yourself your coworkers and friends will already be aware of your addiction. They'll be worried. They'll fret. They'll feel sorry for you. The smart ones will cut you off with no warning. The kind ones will try to address the problem.
Eventually you'll struggle to drag yourself out or you will go to bed every night with nothing but your needs. Trust me, it will not keep you warm and it will always be just out of reach until you become a cautionary tale or a pathetic Facebook memorial.
Stop while you can. Do better. Address your boredom and deal with yourself.
Why don’t you visit the NASA exhibit out there? It’s really cool to see.
My favorite fun fact is that they always say “Houston, we have a problem” but mission control was stationed in Webster, TX and not in Houston.
Be careful man I’ve spent more than $3000 dollars on that shit it fucking sucks looking at your wallet the next day realizing the happiness was just for like 3/4 hours
Coke is great but it's expensive and if you're getting shit stuff mixed with say meth for example it can be super addictive. Just remember that with coke like all things: a little is ok, a lot is a problem.
Eh I’m not condoning it by any means. But it can be fun occasionally. 1 gram will last me 3-4 months or so. Just use it sparingly and don’t do a ton at once and it can be fun.
Lol damn I didn’t even read the last sentence I thought he was sayin he couldn’t get with the girl cuz of the coke. I really need to not say drink and browse Reddit
I’ve done both and adderal will let you get the work on for like 45 minutes minimum mostly cuz you’re too high for sensitivity but the blood flows like crazy lol I guess it’s the same deal as whiskey dick I’ve never had trouble getting down when I’m drunk
If you think accidently picking up a cocaine habit is bad, try accidently dying bc your coke is laced with fentanyl 😬
Drugs are over man, you can trust shit! Except weed, the weed is great 👌
Do you like constant nose bleeds, ruining every good thing in your life, and going to jail? Then keep doing the drugs Random People give you. Trust me on this one. Took 33 years to get 3 continuous years of recovery.
Doing coke is not too big of a deal when you're at a party and challenge yourself to say no from time to time, but people who you bump into and smoke a cigarette with and then share a bump, are bad news.
I’m of the firm opinion that coke is the most overrated drug out there. It’s super expensive, addictive, and only lasts for 15-30 minutes before you come down and start craving more.
I’ll do a bump if I’m at a party and someone offers, but I don’t waste money on it.
It feels amazing is THE PROBLEM. It’s an unnatural HIGH; your brain is not capable of that feeling on its own. Which is why this is a slippery slope… good luck I guess OP.
A little is okay, periodically. It can be great fun and I’ve had some of the best sex and honest conversations on it. If you ever notice yourself wanting it more than once in a while, put it away and revisit it later.
Also only get it from places you trust. You don’t want any coke with fentanyl in it.
People don't get hooked because it sucks. But it'll ruin you eventually. Whether legally, financially, relationships, or physically, destroy you it can and likely will.
Yea. Keep it to a one time thing. My boyfriend went on a 3 day bender on that stuff. Took a bit for him to come back down from it. I almost left him because my father lost a close friend to an OD and I didn't want that to happen to me. Thankfully he seems to have stopped.
For all drugs the first time is surreal. I have friends that still do it in their 30's and 40's but they treat is as a special occasion drug. That one party where everyone shows up is when its brought out. Typically no more than 4 times a year. To me, this is the safest recreational approach. Buy it for an event, don't just have it at the ready because you'll do it while drunk and get addicted real quick.
You're all good dude. Just be careful. Be conscious enough to understand that it is very addictive, and don't go overboard. A one time thing won't hurt you.
This is what is dangerous about coke and many drugs. The first time IS amazing. Now you will always be looking for that first time high. It never comes…
Bumping into a 'random' with a bag of blow, is not the best of signs my friend. This is probably not her first rodeo. That's how local dealers find their new customers. Don't become one of hers.
I thought it was AMAZING too but knew the consequences. My associate lost EVERYTHING. There were bouts of recovery but in the end, they lost their life. You might THINK your in control but I promise, your not. Your not “different” or “unique”…keep using and this comment will haunt you. Ones Too Many & Ten Ain’t Enough.
As a former user, I'm currently dealing with heart conditions because of it. Granted I did it for about 20 years but my best advice is avoiding it at all costs. It can take over your life before you even realize it.
you'll start with free coke, and eventually be hitting rocks if you can't afford to keep your addition.
don't think you're addicted yet? how many times have you thought about coke since doing it?
You accepted blow from a random bitch in Webster???? Bro don’t you know that’s classic bait for human trafficking. Jesus dude anywhere around HTX-Metro is a fucking jungle, don’t let Webster fool you.
OK. You won't hear this from most trained psychologists but I suspect you'lll understand why I am saying it.
Drugs feel great. All those people who like them aren't fucking idiots. And in moderation in a mature, healthy society with good intergenerational rituals and rites of passage, I basically think they're fine. But we are a long frikkin way from that society. It's way too hit and miss as to whether people get a healthy experience. The illegality and naughtiness factor means that these intensely psychoactive things are typically taken initially with poor context, insufficient quality control and when people are in a frame of mind in which common sense isn't being followed. I think you've described that here.
The other, related thing is our shamefully shit understanding of mental health. The people who become addicted to stuff mostly have underlying mental health issues they didn't know they had. That first time blows their minds much more because it's not just a general "high".
It's helping them to relieve something. Speed/ice/meth/coke feels vastly better to people with ADHD and types of related autism. It's making them feel more normal, even if they can't describe it that way. People who get hooked on strong opiates often describe the first time as being like a warm hug: they've been suffering from a lack of love and protection.
So you better frikkin take this seriously mate. The term risk-taking is unfair because I bet she was reasonably cool and the situation was cooler than pearl-clutching wowsers would think. But you've described several things that sound like you've got some learning about yourself to do.
Don’t risk your good time for the sake of your health.
I don’t fully believe that. But… it’s also simplistic to say the opposite. Almost everything other than a diet of mostly vegetables and long runs through the park is a trade off in terms of fun / health.
I tried it ONCE and immediately knew as I was coming down that I could never ever do it again. It’s SCARY ADDICTIVE. And I’ve never don’t it since. Don’t do it anymore or you’ll spend the rest of your life chasing that high that you’ll never find.
Edit - typo
Coke is fun (heard from a friend) especially when it’s free. Mostly not worth it tho… be careful. And if you are going to do it more, it’s be worth getting a fentanyl test kit so you don’t kill yourself.
Not to sound insensitive, but does this post sound fake to anyone? The only way I can believe it’s real is if he’s still coked up.
Regardless, everyone in the comments is right- it’s a dirty, dangerous road to go down, and any pleasure you may get from the high will cost you way more pain than you can even imagine.
Lol lotta buzz kills and people that don’t know what they’re talking about here. Live your life bro. Lots of fun to be had with out there. Hope you got her number fam.
Just be careful out there man. It's already crazy to me how you just accepted this drug from a random girl you met. It's hard nowadays to trust anyone selling anything, especially when you have people lacing all kinds of things with fentanyl.
Just like u/SpontaneousH did. Hope this goes differently
Oh my gosh yeah, i read his posts, its more or less a modern day legend at this stage. Truly harrowing.
What scares me even more, is that despite reading his entire post history multiple times over the years, I now find myself in the midst of becoming ‘intimately acquainted’ with heroin, in a manner that is almost identical to that of u/SpontaneousH and I cannot seem to stop myself from going down that same path. It’s terrifying how strong the psychological dependence of heroin truly is, even in the face of logic and reason, while deep down *you know* that you are royally fucking up your entire life one step at a time.
Seek professional help, you can overcome this.
Coming from someone who’s been fucking with it for the last 5 years, resist at all costs. Took me 2 years to develop a habit, been fighting it for 3. Been on methadone for a full year and I can’t stop wasting my fuckin’ money. Sometimes I wish I had gotten on subs because I couldn’t use, but yada yada the structure of the clinic is nice, subs make me feel like shit
I’m encouraging you now to reach out to someone who can help you through this. It sounds like you’re on the brink and with this drug, that line can be crossed at any second. Please, reach out to someone who can help you. A friend, a family member, anyone who can be of some help to you before it’s to late. Try and see if there are any programs near you. It’s not to late, and you CAN beat this.
It’s mostly Fentanyl now, I’ve been clean for 15 months and got certified as a Community Healthcare Worker for Opioid Abuse. My main problem was continuing to search for real heroin amidst a fentanyl epidemic, you’ll never find that Dragon.
Please seek help immediately. I have worked closely with patients with substance use disorder and it *rarely rarely rarely* ends kind of ok. The high you’re chasing is not worth the destruction you’ll end up with instead. You can turn it around but it’s gotta be now—this is not something you can put off until tomorrow or after one more time.
Choose life

Trying things JUST ONCE will do a lot of harm. Living life is about enjoying every small moment, not trying every single thing once. You should know that by 19. And if you dont believe me, go check out u/spontaneousH because he tried things JUST ONCE.
Lol yeah no. Heroin is not gonna be a “just once” kind of thing. You think junkies wanted to be junkies?
What a fucking ride that was. Scary. It somehow made me want to try heroine. I've never even smoked weed and I'm 28M. Then in the comments, I seen someone who is now addicted say that they only tried H because of spontaneous's post. Crazy how the world works. Glad he is okay.
After going through every post he made, the first one makes it sounds awesome to try then the rabbit hole gets deeper and darker and eventually dashed the thought of even remotely being curious of trying it.
Yeah, same. Luckily I have no clue where to even get that stuff.
I’ve been looking for this guy for so long. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I’ve never had a substance use problem, but have 100% noticed that I have an addictive personality and problems with compulsive behavior. I’d not ruled out “just trying” certain drugs until reading their posts just now. Edit typo
Dude this is just a fishing post to find coke in Webster… the story probably isn’t real. He has mad posts that are similar
Mostly, the post asking for out of town people sounds more like he’s looking for a murder victim, this account gives me bad vibes
I work in the death industry and it’s wild how much the accidental ODs have increased because of fentanyl.
Would you be interested in saying more? Have you noticed a specific age range or demographic? From my understanding opiates are across the board for who uses but I’m curious what you have seen.
Not like he just bought it off some stranger, she was indulging in it with him.. But yes I agree, be careful out there! Too much shit getting mixed in leading to ODs.
3 of my friends OD'd when one of them brought coke laced with opiates. the one who brought it was hospitalized the other two died on scene. he only lived because he had built a tolerance to the opiates regularly cut with his coke. he killed himself the day he was released because he effectively killed his best friend.

I'm so sorry you lost 3 friends that way, that's horrible
This exact thing happened to my friend except my friend lived and it killed his younger brother on site right in front of him. This stuff will kill you even if its your first time so be careful.
I'm so sorry for your friends. I lost my two best friends to heroin. I'll never really be the same, honestly. **Please stay away from hard drugs, OP. I know they feel good, but the damage they cause isn't worth it. I promise.**
I lost a friend this way too, so sad and the reason I stay away from it myself. Just never know.
This. Please. It’s evil. And you never know what you’re getting. Anytime you do it may be your last.
If I effectively killed my bestfriend, I would do the same.
then I pray you never lose you best friend like that. we may not have been best friends but to lose two close acquaintances and then a good friend was really tough for everyone in our group. 3 years of no drinking or hard drugs. the pots a bit harder to kick, but I can live with a pot problem.

A) that sucks, I am so sorry B) serious question from someone who hasn't really done drugs, why would the people selling the drugs want to put fentanyl in their drugs and kill off their market of drug users? I know I'm missing something here because there are people dying all over the place but I just, um.. I don't get it
1) fentanyl is cheaper than coke, so if you sell it as coke, your profit margins go up. 2) despite how addictive coke is, fentanyl is way way way more addicting and getting your customers as addicted as you can means they buy more and you make more money. 3) unfortunately the market is usually big enough they don't really care if their customers start to OD, there's always more junkies on the street looking for drugs.
So is Fentanyl consumption pretty much guaranteed death? Or just that it's OD limit is lower than regular coke?
It depends on the person because you can build a tolerance to opioids, but in general yes, 2mg of fentanyl is considered a potentially deadly dose while just over a gram is considered the lethal dose of cocaine.
Gotcha
It's not guaranteed death, it's just not well regulated. In other words, it's incredibly potent & people selling it on the street don't know how to dose it correctly so it becomes lethal. I had an opiate addiction on and off for a decade and finally stopped for good in 2018, right as Fentanyl was becoming more ubiquitous. But I had done it many years ago like around 2009 when my bf at the time got ahold of the patches (which were normally prescribed to cancer patients). We would cut off small pieces and chew them for hours. Neither of us died. It was medical grade fentanyl and we were careful about how much we did at any given moment.
Good for you mate
[удалено]
People with a fent tolerance OD all the time. Sometimes you get dope that is exponentially stronger than the last batch. People who are opiate naive are at a greater risk for OD though statistically.
Lol oops, I just typed out this exact thing basically before seeing that you already answered that question. I didn't log on for a while and was going through my notifications one by one and answered, only to click on the next notification to see that the answer was provided already 🙃 😅
I’ve heard that in some ways it’s unintentional or was at first anyway. There was a story maybe npr? about NYC bartenders all learning how to use narcan because so many people were ODing from what they though was coke but actually had fentanyl. The theory was that because drug dealers have gotten lazy and just bag one set of drugs and then bag another kind without proper cleanup. So cross contamination is possible. But that doesn’t explain all the fake and counterfeit drugs that are purely fentanyl.
why, to create a stronger co sumer base. quiting coke sucks, but it's doable. try going cold turkey from opiates and coke? good luck. and the addict associates all those good feelings with the coke, they don't even know they're an opiates addict as well sometimes.
I'm so so so sorry for your loss, that's so fucked up. I know how hard it is to open up about something like that, but maybe your story will make people think twice, and save some lives ♡
thank you 💞 And yes, that was my hope when I decided to share this. Still is. If anybody sees this and changes their mind about copping some drugs or they take some extra precautions after reading my comment, then that's the least I could do. It's a touchy subject because, ya know, he was my brother and I loved him. But I think I'm realizing that a good way to heal and grow from it may be to just share my experience and loss with people, in hopes that whoever needs to hear it, does. Maybe then it wouldn't feel like he died for nothing, ya know?
I’m so sorry for you and your family. I hope your mom has found some peace.
If folks are gonna use substances that have potential for cross contamination. I urge you to just get some testing strips or kit. You are worth that little extra. I can’t speak to where but I’m sure that Dancesafe.org would be a good reference. I think about all of the famous people that have died from fentanyl overdoses and assume they likely knew the people. But that’s not good enough anymore. Stay safe, stay alive.
Yeah, back in the day wasn’t a big deal but I wouldn’t trust it these days,that’s how the govment won the war on drugs, you get high ya die, or ya just don’t do drugs, I don’t know, I’m big on over indulgence so my heart would explode even if it wasn’t laced with something, getting olds a bitch
I was out with a friend at a gay bar and this guy was flirting with her and offered to let us have some coke. She was down, I pulled her into the bathroom and said I do not wanna die if fentanyl poisoning today lol
May have just saved her life by doing so. We need more people like yourself 😊
Can someone explain the lacing drugs with fentanyl? Why would a supplier want to kill off their customer base?
Cross-contamination. Weighing and cutting different drugs on the same equipment.
This is the answer. Most of these deaths are because of cross contamination with equipment, not actual cutting.
stronger to get them addicted, cheaper to sell.
If you cherish sleep and money you will leave it at that one time
No one ever did blow or any other drug realizing that eventually it would become a addiction. Your not special lay off the blow before you can’t.
Who's that one guy on Reddit who said he was going to try heroin, then everyone warned him against it and he basically said he wasn't stupid and wouldn't get addicted? Then he got addicted and tried more drugs, then had to do rehab?
Are you thinking of u/SpontaneousH
Yup
He OD'd as well and was technically dead. It's incredibly lucky he's still alive and got the help he needed
I think he died man
u/SpontaneousH he’s alive and clean! You can see his posts on his account
Oh, thank goodness. Glad to hear it. If you see this, keep up the good work my guy!
11 months ago...
This needs to be at the top.
Stay away, you're in a vulnerable position where blow can initially be used to make friends but before you know it you're thinking about it often and your friends end up being using buddies
Makes me horny and limp. Then pissed off for a month.
The terrible sinuses the next morning and you’re $300 in the hole for nothing. Pass
Ah the good ol days
LMAOOOOOOOO YO FR
If you cherish whatever peace and money you can get in life don't do that shit.
Can I still partake in the chunky fungus?
Not only can you, but if you're into that kind of thing I encourage it. I'll never encourage someone to try it for the first time, but second time onwards? Hell yes get it in ya.
My rule of thumb is that if it isn't a synthetic, it is usually okay. Green is 100% a great choice
Test. Your. Drugs.
Or. Don't. Do. Them.
And.find.a.hobby.or.a.job

Knowing how much you enjoyed it, should give you pause. Really think about it. You already know this drug is highly addictive. And you enjoyed it. A lot. It would be pretty easy for you to decide you really love it and become addicted to it. It’s not worth it. No drug is.
Had a 3yr daily habit. Do not recommend. Nearly OD'd, made my breath horrible, and spent way too much. Habit stopped when I took myself to the Dr because my heart rate at rest was way too high (even after laying off it for a few days) and had chest pains. Haven't touched it since and never will.
A friend of mine tells me story of their friend going to the doctor and being told he was melting a hole in the roof of his mouth. Not sure how true this story is but I've def heard similar stories before.
If you’re going to continue partying find out if you can get narcan incase ANY drug you do has fent in it but narcan also helps reverse coke od’s as well. OD’s happen easier than you think and TEST YOUR SHIT. If you’re going to do it at least be as safe as you can be. I’ve been off of opiates for almost 7 years now and still carry narcan with me in my car or backpack just in case someone around me overdoses. Just be responsible about any drug use, if you’re going to do them and remember it’s not a party if it happens every night. Be safe
Oh no lol. Stay away!

Do not do any substances (drugs or alcohol) when you're bored and lonely. It becomes your go to whenever you need to cope with something unpleasant. Go for a walk, listen to music or an audio book, start bingewatching a new series, do a cooking tutorial, etc. Engage your sober mind in other ways of coping or you're starting yourself down a bad, bad road. You'll end up addicted and not know how you got there since you started only doing it for fun...or so you thought. Your boredom and loneliness made you vulnerable to suggestion and now your going to need to put up a fight against a temptation that was never there before.
Very well said
When you come down [read about the human cost of cocaine](https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/doing-drugs-for-fun-channel-5-interview-amber-documentary-347730) and find other ways to giggle.
Legalize it and bring the manufacturing into the country, problem solved. You are not morally responsible for the actions of others. If you’ve ever bought a diamond, coffee, chocolate, sugar, tobacco, anything made of cotton, or any of a million things made in China, then you’ve probably purchased something that was made from slave labor. Even if you buy American, prison labor accounts for more manufacturing than people seem to realize. Also, have you ever ridden in a car? Because the amount of suffering that goes into oil makes the cartels look pretty tame.
I mean someone’s gonna do it
What terrible reasoning
He's unfortunately correct...
Meanwhile, blood diamonds are still used for wedding rings around the world. Not that whataboutism is the right answer.
Lmao this man just tried a stranger’s mystery powder and wants to hang out with more strangers now. What a chad.
If you do substances such as coke, just be careful. Don’t abuse it like I did as a teen and ended up smoking rocks by the time I was 16. Also welcome to the Houston metro area!
You in Houston?
Yup!
Leave coke alone period. I was a crackhead so can’t use me as an example. However working in the restaurant industry for years I observed how slowly destructive this stuff can be.. financially and more importantly health wise I got smart and listened to this older guy who had been through it all and he said “old men don’t do that”. With that statement in mind I watch former coworkers not even make it til 30 in some instances. Use some extreme judgment and also note they are lacing just about everything with fentanyl now ☠️
You don't know what's in there. Fentanyl is everywhere. Value your life more
You can be the smartest person you know, but you won't outsmart a growing addiction. Your intelligence will be your downfall because you'll logic your way out of every bad situation. Wake up with a massive nosebleed? It's just a little dried blood. Wake up in a strange bar bathroom? It was probably a good night out. Desperately licking your coke nail for traces of powder? Just trying to be frugal and not waste anything. You'll keep making excuses. You'll convince everyone- at first. You'll convince yourself that you're functioning at your best. By the time you start to question yourself your coworkers and friends will already be aware of your addiction. They'll be worried. They'll fret. They'll feel sorry for you. The smart ones will cut you off with no warning. The kind ones will try to address the problem. Eventually you'll struggle to drag yourself out or you will go to bed every night with nothing but your needs. Trust me, it will not keep you warm and it will always be just out of reach until you become a cautionary tale or a pathetic Facebook memorial. Stop while you can. Do better. Address your boredom and deal with yourself.
Why don’t you visit the NASA exhibit out there? It’s really cool to see. My favorite fun fact is that they always say “Houston, we have a problem” but mission control was stationed in Webster, TX and not in Houston.
Your fun fact made me do drugs js
Glad u had a good time don’t make it a habit tho ❤️
Be careful man I’ve spent more than $3000 dollars on that shit it fucking sucks looking at your wallet the next day realizing the happiness was just for like 3/4 hours
Kiss your money and life goodbye
HAHAHA Good OL Webster TX
Here we go again
>I was bored and a little lonely Have you considered picking up a book...
Coke is great but it's expensive and if you're getting shit stuff mixed with say meth for example it can be super addictive. Just remember that with coke like all things: a little is ok, a lot is a problem.
A little coke is not OK....
Eh I’m not condoning it by any means. But it can be fun occasionally. 1 gram will last me 3-4 months or so. Just use it sparingly and don’t do a ton at once and it can be fun.
I guess I misunderstood your original comment, I meant any amount can be addictive and small amounts can be cumulatively harmful
Eh adderal Is better at least you can get a hard on and the high lasts all day
Man I hear a lot of people say they couldn’t get hard after doing coke. I was the opposite, I was harder than Chinese algebra on coke!
This was my experience. Tried a couple times and it was meh in comparison to adderall.
dude gonna be standing there with a smile and a boner
Lol damn I didn’t even read the last sentence I thought he was sayin he couldn’t get with the girl cuz of the coke. I really need to not say drink and browse Reddit
I’ve done both and adderal will let you get the work on for like 45 minutes minimum mostly cuz you’re too high for sensitivity but the blood flows like crazy lol I guess it’s the same deal as whiskey dick I’ve never had trouble getting down when I’m drunk
Please don't abuse adhd medication. Those of us with adhd deal with a ton of stigma and bullshit because of idiots who abuse adhd meds to get high.
Lol
If you think accidently picking up a cocaine habit is bad, try accidently dying bc your coke is laced with fentanyl 😬 Drugs are over man, you can trust shit! Except weed, the weed is great 👌
Do you like constant nose bleeds, ruining every good thing in your life, and going to jail? Then keep doing the drugs Random People give you. Trust me on this one. Took 33 years to get 3 continuous years of recovery.
Just like a Texan to reference Texas for no reason. Cool you did blow.
and then she sucked you sick and gave you herpes? Been there.
Doing coke is not too big of a deal when you're at a party and challenge yourself to say no from time to time, but people who you bump into and smoke a cigarette with and then share a bump, are bad news.
Welcome to adulthood. Now be an adult about it and don’t make it a habit.
Small towns are boring. Do you try to not to be bored. This is what happens
I’m of the firm opinion that coke is the most overrated drug out there. It’s super expensive, addictive, and only lasts for 15-30 minutes before you come down and start craving more. I’ll do a bump if I’m at a party and someone offers, but I don’t waste money on it.
It feels amazing is THE PROBLEM. It’s an unnatural HIGH; your brain is not capable of that feeling on its own. Which is why this is a slippery slope… good luck I guess OP.
Just remember the first time will always be the best time, after that it’s just chasing the high.
Not really the case with coke… other drugs yes absolutely. Coke, not so much.
That's heroin.. Cocaine is massively different
It’s not heroin lol
….okay?
Are you chasing?
Thankfully no, but I’ve known quite a few people who have and I promise you you don’t want that
What is that?
Coke
Oh. I prefer Pepsi.
Or Dr. Pepper.
Mr Pibb
Milk
I. Need. COFFEE!!!
Thank you for explaining.
It is amazing!! Now. Don’t. Do. It. Again!
A little is okay, periodically. It can be great fun and I’ve had some of the best sex and honest conversations on it. If you ever notice yourself wanting it more than once in a while, put it away and revisit it later. Also only get it from places you trust. You don’t want any coke with fentanyl in it.
I feel like even though this isn't an advice sub these kinds of comments should be removed ASAP
yes because nothing but "just say no" comments should be allowed 🙄
People don't get hooked because it sucks. But it'll ruin you eventually. Whether legally, financially, relationships, or physically, destroy you it can and likely will.
Yea. Keep it to a one time thing. My boyfriend went on a 3 day bender on that stuff. Took a bit for him to come back down from it. I almost left him because my father lost a close friend to an OD and I didn't want that to happen to me. Thankfully he seems to have stopped.
For all drugs the first time is surreal. I have friends that still do it in their 30's and 40's but they treat is as a special occasion drug. That one party where everyone shows up is when its brought out. Typically no more than 4 times a year. To me, this is the safest recreational approach. Buy it for an event, don't just have it at the ready because you'll do it while drunk and get addicted real quick.
oh THAT blow...
Delete her number.
This is bad for you.
You dumb as shit if you don't realize this is was a stupid idea and not just "some fun". You can ruin your life looking for some fun.
You're all good dude. Just be careful. Be conscious enough to understand that it is very addictive, and don't go overboard. A one time thing won't hurt you.
This is what is dangerous about coke and many drugs. The first time IS amazing. Now you will always be looking for that first time high. It never comes…
I agree 👍👆
Follow up in 2 years to tell us how it’s going.
Bumping into a 'random' with a bag of blow, is not the best of signs my friend. This is probably not her first rodeo. That's how local dealers find their new customers. Don't become one of hers.
One of my close friends died from fentanyl this year. Please be careful.
Stop now. All I can say. It is amazing. Like a one man band. And then it goes south. Do yourself a favor and stick to the trees.
Clear Lake? Why did you move there??
Not to sound harsh but you're an idiot who probably needs a babysitter. Try to use your brain a little more effectively.
I thought it was AMAZING too but knew the consequences. My associate lost EVERYTHING. There were bouts of recovery but in the end, they lost their life. You might THINK your in control but I promise, your not. Your not “different” or “unique”…keep using and this comment will haunt you. Ones Too Many & Ten Ain’t Enough.
I'm in that area. Go hang out at the Volcano Room in Seabrook. You might get picked up by someone who wants you to pound their old lady.
Yes we won’t to hang out lol how old are you 😂 ?
I’ve done coke many times and tbh don’t see the appeal, I’ve never had a good high from it.
I don't understand this, I was led to believe it is Blue states that are drug infested hell holes.
As a former user, I'm currently dealing with heart conditions because of it. Granted I did it for about 20 years but my best advice is avoiding it at all costs. It can take over your life before you even realize it.
Dude....NO. Stay away from that.....it will take everything from you. Just smoke some weed and drink a beer.
dont do substances when ur bored/lonely - itll become a habit. just dont do this overall ESPECIALLY with drugs from a random stranger. stay safe
I know a guy who’s a vegetable now after one bump of blow that was cut with fentanyl.
That's why people become addicted to it and destroy their lives
Drop it on a metal thing or even a ceramic plate. If something shaves off its cut. Test before u buy
Stick to weed
you'll start with free coke, and eventually be hitting rocks if you can't afford to keep your addition. don't think you're addicted yet? how many times have you thought about coke since doing it?
Nah Cocaine is fucking awesome! But no you're limits, it can get expensive, but it's great for the odd night out or special occasion
You accepted blow from a random bitch in Webster???? Bro don’t you know that’s classic bait for human trafficking. Jesus dude anywhere around HTX-Metro is a fucking jungle, don’t let Webster fool you.
OK. You won't hear this from most trained psychologists but I suspect you'lll understand why I am saying it. Drugs feel great. All those people who like them aren't fucking idiots. And in moderation in a mature, healthy society with good intergenerational rituals and rites of passage, I basically think they're fine. But we are a long frikkin way from that society. It's way too hit and miss as to whether people get a healthy experience. The illegality and naughtiness factor means that these intensely psychoactive things are typically taken initially with poor context, insufficient quality control and when people are in a frame of mind in which common sense isn't being followed. I think you've described that here. The other, related thing is our shamefully shit understanding of mental health. The people who become addicted to stuff mostly have underlying mental health issues they didn't know they had. That first time blows their minds much more because it's not just a general "high". It's helping them to relieve something. Speed/ice/meth/coke feels vastly better to people with ADHD and types of related autism. It's making them feel more normal, even if they can't describe it that way. People who get hooked on strong opiates often describe the first time as being like a warm hug: they've been suffering from a lack of love and protection. So you better frikkin take this seriously mate. The term risk-taking is unfair because I bet she was reasonably cool and the situation was cooler than pearl-clutching wowsers would think. But you've described several things that sound like you've got some learning about yourself to do.
Honestly blows not that bad I dibble dabble every now and again Again just be safe man if you do do it again get a testing kit
[удалено]
Don’t risk your good time for the sake of your health. I don’t fully believe that. But… it’s also simplistic to say the opposite. Almost everything other than a diet of mostly vegetables and long runs through the park is a trade off in terms of fun / health.
Dude, this is how you end up on the streets. Of course drugs are amazing feeling, they literally are designed to blow your mind up. Stop while you can
I tried it ONCE and immediately knew as I was coming down that I could never ever do it again. It’s SCARY ADDICTIVE. And I’ve never don’t it since. Don’t do it anymore or you’ll spend the rest of your life chasing that high that you’ll never find. Edit - typo
Coke? Sounds like you had some that was laced with something much worse.
Did u get more than a chemical blow
Definitely I had to go out with a bang lol
Coke is fun (heard from a friend) especially when it’s free. Mostly not worth it tho… be careful. And if you are going to do it more, it’s be worth getting a fentanyl test kit so you don’t kill yourself.
If you think it was great, just wait till it has a deadly dose of fentynal.
Not to sound insensitive, but does this post sound fake to anyone? The only way I can believe it’s real is if he’s still coked up. Regardless, everyone in the comments is right- it’s a dirty, dangerous road to go down, and any pleasure you may get from the high will cost you way more pain than you can even imagine.
Lol lotta buzz kills and people that don’t know what they’re talking about here. Live your life bro. Lots of fun to be had with out there. Hope you got her number fam.
Huh blow huh? Welcome back to the 70s, they want their slang back
Your an idiot
You’re *
