Health wave breaking out in US

[Anamcara]

Just saw this article from The Atlantic about how health seems to be improving in various metrics in the US. One of the things they looked at was overdoses. Overdoses have gone down fairly dramatically recently. My first thought was obviously KRATOM! But the article didn’t mention that at all, and started talking about fentanyl drug supply, etc., no mention at all of how people are curing themselves of serious addictions with Kratom. Anyway, the title is:

A MYSTERIOUS HEALTH WAVE IS BREAKING OUT ACROSS THE U.S.

Sorry I couldn’t provide a link because I’m looking at it on an iPhone and Apple news links are weird.

There have been 10 fentanyl overdose deaths in my town in the last two weeks. One of them was a close friend of my daughters for years, while they were still in middle school.

People think these batches were a lot stronger than people were used to.

The only good thing is the Drug Task force took down a large trafficking ring.

That's awful hippie! Fentanyl is such a dangerous drug. It's like Russian roulette whether it's going to kill you or not. This is why we need kratom and legal marijuana.

It is awful and this was just such a sweet, sweet man, Just getting his life back on track. I have given him shopping bags of kratom before when
he wanted to give up heroin. Then fentanyl showed up and it's cheap and just too hard to resist I guess. This is the second overdose death of a friend of hers.

The Russian Roulette aspect of it keeps me and probably a lot of other people honest about their drug use. I'm not touching that shit ever again and that's a fact because I'm just not going out like that. I've never been good at being a statistic. Haha!

I'm sorry your daughter lost her old friend. Everyone is losing folks to this at a very alarming rate, like people I work with and that I come in contact with at work. Everyone's kinda talking about it.

Plain Leaf kratom just ain't strong enough to combat the urge, the craving, for Fent - I have tried, the same way, over recent years to provide an alternative. But no dice.

I got laughs and... "Oh that Green dirt stuff ? haha" uhh I think MAYBE I felt a little something ? ... That was THEN.

This is NOW - The purified kratom extract = 7-Hydroxy aka "7OH" - IS strong enough, and good enough, AND... Does Not cause overdose!!! - Even at huge "servings".

So just imagine. Over 100,000 deaths due to Fent - IF they'd been doing 7OH - would still be ALIVE today. That's an amazing TRUE statistic! - Here just 1 major U.S. City Portland Oregon.

A childhood friend of my sister (who passed away 12 years ago herself) just died this past year from fentanyl. She left behind some young children. I'm not sure of all the details as I haven't seen this woman for years. I just remember hearing the news from old friends. I still have many memories of her and my sister hanging out at the house as innocent giggling girls gossiping about their crushes and all the latest drama at school. Now they're both gone.
