I was a teenager in the Sixties, but I don't get nostalgic about the purity of the drugs because I saw too many people become druggies. Lots of kids did some of the popular drugs and grew out of it but some never did, and some didn't survive their teens or twenties. I saw a lot of that in the Army too.

I had back surgery back in 1999. For a few months leading up to the surgery date I was eating 7.5 Lortab’s like PEZ candy. Just before the surgery I was photographing a friends wedding and it took two Lortabs and a Scotch chaser to lessen the nerve pains that weekend.
Two weeks after surgery I put the pills aside and quit taking them. I felt great, but the Lortabs made me feel like shit. Foggy, bad decisions like a retard. At my follow up the surgeon could not believe it. Told him I felt great but he wanted to keep me on them. Boy have times changed. I do remember the first time I took one. My mom was on them from her back surgery and slipped me a couple to see if it helped. I kept refusing to try them for weeks. Finally gave in after taking the kids to their soccer game and I had to carry a cooler and my chair. I was in extreme pain from the pinched nerve causing the fire down my left leg. I had enough. Took the lortab as soon as I got there and sat down. Within minutes I felt like I was floating above my chair. Pain was gone. That moment is what got me to give in and seek out surgery. FWIW, I never had that feeling of euphoria, or that high ever again. I now understand “chasing the dragon”. Oh, and FWIW…I had two games to sit through that day. So the high had worn off long before I drove the kids home. I made the decision to stay there all day and let them play on the playground if needed. |

If you take rec drugs or street drugs and you don't have a dancesafe test kit you don't value your life as simple as that. Hell a decade plus ago I tested anything that did not come from a doctor. But now with the proliferation of pressed pills those should even be tested. I truly feel bad for kids and young adults these days, it's like playing russian roulette. The people pushing this shit should be charged with bioterrorism.

Good kid that made some poor decisions during adulthood trying to cope with stresses of life, doesn't mean he deserved to die nor did he want to. He was well liked by anyone that knew him, several hundred people attended his funeral. Over the last few years I've tried to just ignore comments like the one this guy posted but they still piss me of.

But with Fentanyl it tends to be the opposite junkies have a tolerance so many can handle it while normal productive citizens that are just trying to escape for the night end up ODing and dead. Sorry to hear that about your brother man that has to be fucking rough. I personally think we should drone strike known cartels that deal in the shit and execute people dealing in laced drugs. We had six people die 2 being students from laced Xanax and last I knew the dealer was still free, if it would have been my child or family the dude would have been disappeared or forced to take his own hot pills. China supplies this shit to the cartels which in turn flood the streets of the US they should be treated as terrorist organizations and be dealt with accordingly. |

Like I said he was definitely taking stuff he shouldn't have been, and I begged with him to get help because I didn't want to see him die. We both had tears in our eyes during that conversation, he knew he needed help. I guess he just couldn't overcome it, I can't imagine the hell he went through trying to get clean. I still picture him as my little brother and to hear people wish death on other's loved ones is sickening. |

I've been sober almost 15 years. Before that though, I took everything.
I don't think people are dying from pills "laced" with fentanyl, I think fake pills are being produced that include fentanyl as a substitute for what is supposed to be in there. For example, say you are a fan of Norco 10/325 and you find a guy selling them for $1 each. You jump on the deal and they look legit just like what the pharmacy sells. However, they are counterfeit and do not in fact contain the hydrocodone you are expecting. They instead use fentanyl - as it gets you fucked up in a similar way so many people won't know the difference. Problem is, they might be dosed awfully high as Jose isn't the best at math or manufacturing procedures. |

oxycontine taught kids how to take megadoses of opiods. crush and sniff. prior to that there was nothing you found in a drugstore commonly, that was as strong. i worked in a pharmacy as a tech and stock boy. strongest stuff we had was dilaudid and was only ordered if a doctor called us about a patient with serious or terminal cancer. besides that there were percodans (5 mg oxycodone with apc) and you saw a lot of that prescribed by dentists and so forth. didnt see much recreation use of opiods. quaaludes, sopors and parest were popular and amphetamines, especially for studying all night.
i never saw a drug overdose growing up and ive seen it all. we used to order cocaine HCL from merck, 30bucks for an ounce. a doctor (we think) was prescribing it for one of his boy friends. we also had a popular GP who took 5mg dexedrines mornings he did early operation oxycontin changed all that. taught kids how to get megadoses of opiods. when uncle sugar saw the problem with those, it put the brakes on all opiods. of course the mexican cartels and the chinese labs stepped in to fill the void. now they put fent in everything, including pot. you buy something on the street or someone hands you a pill at a party its like playing russian roulette. and as far as i can tell there is no turning back unless they go to all electric money so that you cant slip a twenty into a trap house and get a couple of fent pills or meth. would not be surprised to see the eventual move to make cash money illegal so that all transactions could be monitored by AI to control the flow of money and put the cartels out of biz, just for the children. |

It was genuinely unheard of. However there eventually became some that were not full MDMA but even those werent dangerous in a way that would kill someone. Mostly probably some other amphetamine or heroin mix. Once the word went out on those they were completely unsellable or undesirable. Other prescription pharmaceuticals were pretty prevalent as well but those werent really my thing. They were safe since they were legit prescription meds, just flipped on the black market.

Nope, didnt in the 80's and dang sure not starting now. Never really liked taking pills and pretty much dont even take an advil or tylenol even now.
Have had a script for perco somethings in the early 80's when i had my wisdom teeth pulled. I didnt take them but did some OTC tylenol or advil then. Had my appendix taken out in grade school. I vaguely remember talking pills for a day or maybe two but there was almost the entire bottle left over. Do remember my dad telling me any pain i perceive is just weakness leaving your body and lets you know youre still alive! Had tooth removed about a year ago, got a script for hydro somethings but didnt take any of them. Took one doses of advil before the numbing wore off with another batch 4 hrs later and that was it. |

Extremely wealthy family I knew in a very small town. One kid a couple years older than me OD'd on heroin. His sister, my age, was a druggie that told me she went to Betty Ford clinic, while we were at a 10 year HS reunion. She suicided a year later.
I would estimate that these deaths were not publicized back then. Today it is politics by media. |
