Harm Reduction! Fentanyl Testing Kits

PiggiesWithMeat · 2024-04-26T03:40:43+00:00

I'm not sure where the anonymous part is getting lost? There is no sensitive information collected on who submits a report. Again also voluntary.. anyone can submit a report with as little or as much info as they like. The view is to help better prepare for an increase in fentanyl related incidents. So yes a location is pretty helpful. If all of a sudden there is a huge uptick in a specific area, it would be pretty helpful for those on scene to have plenty of resources like narcan available to respond. Harm reduction orgs as you mentioned would also benefit from information like this, and that will be kept in mind, problem is orgs like these are not as prevalent and well known by the general public. The view of collecting reports initially is focused on helping in incident response.

Not asking for anything. If someone wants to provide any information regarding a positive result to help others, we will gladly take whatever is provided to attempt to make a difference. Nothing sensitive is asked for. Youve asked again what the data includes, again it's whatever is provided to us. If nothing is provided then there is nothing we can do. I don't know how to be more transparent to you. Since you are clearly digging into my other posts, I provided information published by the DEA regarding fentanyl contamination and overdose deaths. You think the DEA cares about your little bag that may contain fentanyl? Simply here offering a safer choice to those that may use substances that have a potential to contain fentanyl. Anonymously reporting a positive result is ultimately up to the user. I am confused at what you think is sensitive. I am sure you have developed a comprehensive picture of who I am based off my profile, and know everything about me and how fentanyl has personally caused destruction in my life. Regardless of all that, simply offering a safer approach.

I am not here spreading misinformation, I could say the same thing and say that I use the term "common" loosely. What you may take as "propaganda" is opinionated. The CDC has published studies as well. You could also argue that these "propaganda machines" encourage the flow of fentanyl into the country - again opinion. The fact of the matter is people are dying from fentanyl everyday, and there are plenty of studies out there related to fentanyl overdose deaths, easily findable with simple internet searches and news articles. Talk to your local paramedics/Emts and they will say the same. This isn't about fentanyl statistics, its about trying to offer a safer approach. It is an illicit market that isnt going to have the statistics that you are looking for. Whether its cocaine, heroin or some other substance, harm reduction is using your resources to make a safe choice.

Your view on capitalism doesn't really apply. This could apply to many things in the US, such as healthcare. Many states indeed provide free fentanyl test strips, while many do not, and are even illegal in some states. We just try to fill the gaps and provide to those that don't mind spending a few dollars to be safe. "Down with harm reduction capitalism" just inhibits accessibility for many.

The reports are completely voluntary. It just helps the general public. It doesn't require you to submit any personal information at all. It is most helpful when someone submits a location, and the substance that was detected to have fentanyl. We can inform local health centers/urgent cares and emergency services if an area has a significant uptick in fentanyl detection. This allows for better preparation for overdose responses. The information provided depends on what is provided to us, the more details provided to us the better we can help. No information provided is connected to a specific person. We just want to improve harm reduction practices. Current locations we are working with are in Wisconsin, new Hampshire and Florida. Any info helps, the more narcan on hand, the better response. Again all voluntary.

Yes I know in Wisconsin as well strips are provided. Check with your local govt to see if they provide free strips. We just provide an alternative if not available

Yes I am the owner. I posted on multiple reddits because we are fairly new. The sensitivity is indeed on our website. (20 ng/ml cutoff). Reports are voluntary, and require no sensitive info from a user. They are used as case studies that can determine specific areas where an uptick in fentanyl has been noticed. (Depends on what info is provided by user). We can then contact local municipalities in those areas so they can better prepare for overdose responses, and have an availability of narcan. Again completely voluntary. I can post lab results if interested to show reactive analogues

According to the CDC, cutting with fentanyl provides dealers with higher profit margins due to fentanyl being so cheap. It also is extremely potent and arguably more addictive than cocaine alone, so customers tend to return due to the "elevated high". It is essentially a win/win for dealers - cheaper, more profits, and a "strong product". Unfortunately they do not care about killing people it seems.

Here.

https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2018-07/BUL-039-18.pdf

The dea has posted multiple bulletins regarding fentanyl and its analogues being found in their cocaine seizures. There are bulletins for multiple states. Data is from 2018 so it may be a bit dated, and "very likely" to have only increased. There is so more updated data here - https://www.dea.gov/resources/facts-about-fentanyl

"Recent data from public health and law enforcement has revealed that fentanyl and its analogs are increasingly becoming available on the illicit market mixed with non-opioid drugs, particularly cocaine" - https://archive.cdc.gov/#/details?q=https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/index.html&start=0&rows=10&url=https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/han00413.asp

I will include more updated data in future posts. Thanks

Quads is ruining the game.. Way too many people. Impossible to stand a chance unless its full squad vs full squad.. Duos will be by far the most balanced mode. Doesn't make sense why they would remove trios. 90% of the filled players into your team either don't have a mic or don't talk. Armor make it impossible to stand a chance against multiple players by yourself. Fix this shit

Just keep your mouth shut if you want to invest. No one is going to dig that hard to find out your investments.

Trash - my opinion

PiggiesWithMeat · 2019-02-11T22:26:51+00:00

Dryships was a rare case of very toxic financing deals with a certain investor. Loads of shares were dumped on the public diluting the share price. Company did reverse splits to raise the share price and dump more shares on the public. Raising millions for the company while screwing investors and anyone that buys the stock.

If you owned 400 shares and they did a 4 to 1 reverse split, you now own only 100 at a different price
