New drug reportedly stronger than fentanyl spotted in Boulder

[Evankayden-zy]

I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. Spent my whole life fighting fentanyl addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I'm 45, had a head collision a yr ago. Ugly back hip and knee pain. Pain treatment center said I had used all benefits covered by insurance who's driver caused the accident, the next level of pain killer was fentanyl and they said it was ok to use. I said no thanks. I walked out, cancel their svc with my attorney and keep on looking for alternative treatment. 5 herniated disc and 3 nucleus ruptures. We can't meds just because the so call pain specialist is giving it to you. Research and make choices. I might walk worst than my 94 yr old grandma cause I'm in pain, but a I'm alive and drug free.

SAW THIS HORRIBLE DRUG IN PUERTO RICO AROUND 1999
I WAS A KID AND SAW THE ZOMBIES PEOPLE ROTING ALIVE AND STILL CHASING THE DRUG
I SAW A MAN THAT LOST BOTH HIS LEGS AND KEPT GETTING HIGH .

As a generation Xer with a younger daughter. I noticed many grandparents taking care of their grandkids or even adopting them because their moms or dads were drug addicts. I found it odd that all the younger moms (25-32) were absent and could not take care of their kids. I’m 53 and I had a sober and good solid mom - and I am the same. I live in Colorado - just say no to drugs kids. You don’t want your future stolen by some Chinese or Mexican drug lord. Wake up people.

This crap has been in Philly and Boston for the past few years. Injectors end up losing their limbs, is horrible, also Narcan doesnt kick you out of an OD

I saw a tranqed woman spend 20 minutes trying to get into the driver seat of a car. Users are NOT the only ones in danger.

[notsure]

Why is it that there is never a new drug that makes people want to get up early, get to work on time, and do a good job?

[joshuaheathcote]

Why do the harm reduction specialists look like the type of people who would harm themselves.

At least they're not drinking Bud Light.

I grew up in Colorado and used to do a lot of drugs. The fact now is you can’t buy anything off the streets are because who knows what’s in it. Not saying the drugs I got back in the day were clean. It just worries me because my brother has a 12-year-old daughter out there and I really hope she doesn’t start getting curious for all the young ones out there it’s not worth it. If celebrities are dying, because this stuffs in their drugs. Your gonna get the same or worse

If you stay away from drugs you'll be happier, healthier and you'll have more money.

Yeah tranq became a thing back before 2020 in Philly. Which was pretty much ground zero for this dangerous cocktail. I was snorting it and thankfully got out before it destroyed my skin. 24 year addiction with almost 4 years clean. It's possible!

Nothing being done about the sale, nothing being done about the use. Most of the time, it happens right out in the open.

In the 70's PCP or "Angel Dust" was the animal tranquilizer that endangered us, and now this poison. It's never ends.
I'm so grateful to our creator that I got clean and have stayed clean for 9 plus years.
I wish that misery on no human

This administration is letting all of the drugs coming in

Horse tranq has been around for awhile. Surprised it only just now made it to Colorado.

[teddymarian]

it disturbs me theres so much help&resources for addicts and essentially none for the severe/chronic pain patients who are being left without medication bc of what the addicts did.They dont even help the community they destroyed, they actually speak out against anyones pain being treated bc they lied, manipulated the system&abused medication. I cant believe how wrong&backwards this world is.

[bombaybeach]

This is old news, been going on in Philly for a long time, people doubled over, inert.

[Alyosha-nmio]

I have no sympathy for the people who chose to do these drugs, take away the users and the market goes buh bye.

This is how ridiculously strict drug use laws lead to stronger more deadly substances. The fentanyl issue took off after the ridiculous & unwarranted attack on prescription pain meds, which of course ONLY caused harm to legitimate pain patients & those with OUD who could no longer get regulated safe prescription pain meds... Alcohol prohibition-seriously the BEST lesson. Just unsure why no one seemed to learn it🙄...
