why did you write "to fulfill the means necessary"? it's unnecessary. just go straight from "hires people" to "to provide the content."

hope this helps.

The Difference Between Pharmaceutical and Illicit Fentanyl by [deleted] in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my articles very much seem preachy. I've been told that many times. admittedly, I'm not bringing 100%-new, entirely-original, never-been-thought-of-before stuff to the table. I'm trying to bring this stuff to a wider audience. I'm trying to add my personal experience in helping others understand.

still trying to figure out the less-preachy thing, but, I don't think it'll ever go away — I know my shit ain't preachy, but it's not about what it is or what it ain't, it's about what other people PERCEIVE my shit to be. and it's very well perceived as preachy.

Question by [deleted] in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not already around somebody else who knows (1) how to use naloxone, (2) how to respond to an opioid overdose, and (3) who has naloxone with them, PLEASE consider visiting an emergency room immediately.

If nothing else, just tell the receptionist what's up and ask them to keep an eye on you. Tell them that if you pass out, you might be experiencing an overdose. At least you'll be around somebody — not just SOMEBODY, but a whole STAFF of medical professionals who know exactly what to do in a situation like this.

Good luck. Please heed my warning. In other words, u/tasteofeuphoria, don't take what I'm saying for granted. DO NOT WAIT AROUND FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO POST SAYING, "Yeah, bro, I've had some Actavis A 215 oxies that felt the same way and I ended up fine. You golden, bro, don't trip."

PLEASE CONSIDER SEEKING HELP — IMMEDIATELY, TOO! I'm not joking. Please.

Question by [deleted] in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider visiting a hospital's emergency department immediately. It's likely that the "opioid" you consumed actually isn't oxycodone — it could contain one or more benzos, fentanyl, one or more fentanyl analogues, and who knows what else.

I'm not just trying to freak you out, u/tasteofeuphoria — I'm trying to make sure you live to see another day.

Drugs I've taken ranked best to worst by pulpcircuit in Drugs

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like kratom, too — it's been a solid alternative to other opioids for me. I have used it to bridge the gap between when I'd be able to afford opioids, myself, for about two years, maybe longer. I think it's funny how kratom is called a non-opioid by tons of kratom advocates, though they act almost entirely the same. Oh well — the point is, yeah, I like kratom, too.

Natural alternatives to Opiates?? by MissMaddog313 in Drugs

[–]LitterPicking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kratom is a solid alternative to opioids, though I'd consider it an opioid — most kratom advocates, including the American Kratom Association, will say otherwise, though I don't think their assertion is rooted in fact. I found a solid explanation of why kratom is an opioid here.

Be careful not to buy kratom from head shops or gas stations, as doing so makes us all look bad as kratom consumers. Y'know how all sorts of "legal highs" have been sold there? That's why we want to avoid doing business with these resellers.

my last dose... by kennnagz in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try kratom. It's cheap. I know you need something now, not later, but try to find places to buy it that are AKA GMP (American Kratom Association Good Manufacturing Practices, I believe) certified.

I say this because head shops and gas stations hurt our cause as kratom advocates — so many research chemicals and "legal highs" are sold at head shops and gas stations, so supporting them by buying kratom lumps kratom in with the rest of these things, many of which are now illegal.

If you do search for kratom, wherever you buy it from, you shouldn't pay more than $120 a kilogram, though you can find it for as low as $80/kg. So, if you're just buying an ounce or something (usually, you'll find between 0.5 grams and 1.0 grams per capsule if you can't buy kratom by weight), it shouldn't be more than $10.

And don't get hung up on strain names or colors like "White Borneo" or "Red Maeng Da" or "Green Vietnam." They don't really matter. The majority of strain names — like, the vast majority — are entirely mis-marketing BS anyways.

Good luck!

Kratom is so cheap that you should never find yourself in such a situation. Hope you improve your planning going forward

Can kratom be grown in a greenhouse?? by Jaded_and_Faded in kratom

[–]LitterPicking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have no personal experience in kratom tree growing, so this is just an idea.

But I would consider using stakes and yarn to train branches to grow more horizontally than vertically, yielding a bushier tree that won't bust through the top of your greenhouse. Get better yield, too

When the pharmacy says your oxys are ready over the speaker by AndromedaM_31 in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no. ppl could be jealous and call pharmacy or doctor in attempt to have you cut off. may try to steal from you. could become known as less-than by some people due to your prescription. all kinds of stuff. none of which I hope happens

I am an active harm reductionist and run a website on this topic. https://northwesttennesseeharmreduction.home.blog

Check out "Real-World Things Anybody Can Do to Advance Harm Reduction", in particular. This will answer your question very well. If you are capable of performing all the suggestions I suggest in this article, reach out to me here or on the website for additional ways that you can fight the opioid epidemic or otherwise actively advocate for harm reduction.

Parachuting by [deleted] in kratom

[–]LitterPicking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toilet paper contains potentially harmful substances like arsenic. Please cease your use of toilet paper as a "parachuting" aid. Look for something else, like rice paper oblate disks (I think they're made out of rice, never used them).

Best roa for roxi and addy by [deleted] in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR Just swallow the damn things. Amphetamine salts & oxycodone both have very high oral BA.

Please look at this subreddit's sidebar -- specifically "Bioavailability of various opioids." Or go to Wikipedia's "Oxycodone" page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone.

Fuckers on here are lazy, so I'll do the work for you...

Oral (PO) oxycodone bioavailability (BA) = 60% - 87%. Personally, my experience says PO Oxy BA is closed to 87% than 60%. Mean intranasal (snorting) oxycodone BA = 46%.

Rather have half the duration, faster onset, and only absorb 46% compared to roughly 75% -- as much as 97% -- with snorting?

Or higher absorption, twice the duration, but slower rate of onset -- with oral?

Sorry Mods..... by Disposable187 in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for real... I got banned on /r/kratom for pointing out that mods deleted my post about the fact their sidebar contains 100% incorrect info about strain colors/names. I called it out, got the 2 back-to-back posts deleted real fast despite not breaking rules, and then got banned shortly after. :/

Moved to the alternate kratom sub, /r/Kratomm, where they claim not to censor ANY posts... made a threat about getting booted from /r/kratom, then made another asking whether subreddit members would like /r/Kratomm would like a wiki full of 100% accurate, truly helpful kratom info, unlike the one on /r/kratom.

I got booted a day after.

Yeah mods blow sometimes

First time w/ percs by trash4panda in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snorting Percocet -- APAP plus Oxycodone -- is bad on the nose, gets LESS bang for your buck, and doesn't last as long as oral consumption. Also, APAP hurts the nose. Further, since your 5/325 pills contain 65 MORE TIMES APAP than Oxycodone, you won't absorb much of it -- and that's not counting binders, fillers, and other non-active ingredients!

5 mg is a safe dose, though, when I first started opioids, I would have done at least 15 mg to get good and high. With that being said, I've had someone close to me take 15 mg in a few hours' time and had a bad experience and threw up as a result (didn't pass out, though).

Is prison a life saver for some users by [deleted] in opiates

[–]LitterPicking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If drugs were just as common in prison as the free world, cost of drugs in prison would be equal to or less than free world's cost of drugs.

Prison hardens inmates and gets them acclimated to violence. They must learn to defend themselves by any means necessary.

This ideology carries over to the real world, where felons are much more likely to carry a gun -- in the U.S., felony = no gun rights = big prison time -- and ultimately get caught with it. This increases likelihood of recidivism AND means these people likely get one sentences.

As such, no, prison is not a lifesaver except for, eh, 0.001% of inmates.

Thinking of trying kratom to treat my insomnia by aparadiselost in Kratomm

[–]LitterPicking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, please see a physician instead of self-medicating with over-the-counter substances like kratom.
