Fentanyl: What The Media Gets Wrong.

As a chronic pain patient who turned to recreational use when my medication was taken away, we are creating addicts that under normal circumstances would simply stay on their medication. I know this isn’t the point of the video. But I truly appreciate that you are bringing the “prohibition” of prescription opioids.

[@knowthispodcast9182]

Same here, I had to do the same thing when I lost my doctor. I was fine staying on my oxycodone. After a bad car accident and back surgeries at 25 years old, I had my whole life ahead of me. Then one moment everything changed, and because of the social stigma behind pain medication, I didn't seek any treatment. I just continued to torture myself and try to live the next four years in pain until I started to get suicidal, deeply depressed, couldn't sleep, my relationship was falling apart, and then finally, after trying everything, I went on pain management and got my life back. In 2016, the suggestion of guidelines came out by the CDC who had no business writing those. But then the CDC and the DEA worked together to come up with this terrible plan to turn America against pain medication. Doctors became terrified and started kicking their patients. Many of them were cancer patients or end of life, including chronic pain patients who depended on this medication to live the most basic form of life and mobility. One day my doctor told me, "I'm sorry, but I have to taper you down." Then three months later, he took more of my medication away until I was only getting 30 a month when I had been on pain medication for 10 years. Finally, he told me that he would have to switch me to gabapentin, which only made me feel nauseous and sick. So I went back to where I was before, living in bed, in pain, now with CRPS. I was forced to go to the street, but because of the rare oxy prescriptions these days, the only thing that I could find was fentanyl. I had to supplement my last prescription. I've been living fine with this street medication for the last four years. Personally, I found that oxycodone was stronger. But every person is different based on their metabolism, brain chemistry, and biology. That's what the DEA also doesn't understand - we're not all the same. Some of us need more, some of us need less. You can also have a mutation that causes you to be extremely resistant to opioids. I knew there were other people like me out there that had been forced to go to the streets, but it's something that we can't talk about. But I think that we have to, because this is getting out of line. So many people are afraid to go to the street, and I don't blame them. It's not my first choice because since I lost my prescription, it's impossible to get a decent job. Even though I've had no problems, I still run the small percentage of getting some bad fentanyl, laced with that new stuff called tranq or whatever. We shouldn't be forced to live like this just because we have incurable chronic pain. I didn't ask for this, neither did you. The government put out so much propaganda that it made 336 million people shaking in their boots every time they hear the word "pain medication"! It's evil to take people off their pain medication who are not abusing it. You're basically taking away their life. When my doctor told me that he was taking away my pain medication, I started to cry because I knew where I was before I was on my pain meds. I knew that I would have to stop working. How would I pay bills? How would I get up to go to the bathroom, get the mail, walk to my car - the most basic mobility movements that people take for granted. I'm actually in touch with a pain patient advocate. I can put you in touch with them if you'd like? I'd also love to hear your story because our stories need to get out. I've shared mine plenty of times. Hang in there, you're not alone in this fight.

I moved to the US for medical care, I have severe neurodegenerative condition and was shocked by the general attitude towards pain medication has some sort or evil Boogeyman, to the point than now legitimate users with awful medical conditions all over the country have to deal with poor treatment, shortages and jump trough all sort of hoops to get their prescription filled, in a lot of states before Covid people in gurneys would have to show up to the doctors office because it was mandated by law that no matter the condition you need to present in person to pick up your prescription, medical bureaucracy is wild here in the US.

[@angelaf5040]

You nailed this! Now the Drs and government needs to listen! Chronic pain people are committing suicide to avoid pain too, it's not just od!

[@janjeliman9126]

I thought the overdose problem is due to street dealers claiming to sell oxycodone or heroin, but actually sell instead fentanyl and dose it incorrectly. That couldn't happen with other stuff (heroin or morphine instead of oxy) because the stronger substance used to be more expensive, but now fentanyl is the strongest, but also cheap (because it's synthetic). Also very interesting point about allergy, I had no idea.

[@PrimateProductions]

You are correct! It is so much cheaper to put fentanyl in "heroin" rather than actual heroin. This is the problem...people are using heroin and ODing on fentanyl.

[@timothylamanov1450]

It's also a lot more difficult to find the actual prescriptions on the market anymore, yet Powder is everywhere. And once they start using it, the tolerance starts to skyrocket and there's really nothing else they can go to without first enduring a week, or few days if plan on continuing the use, of mental and physical feeling like shit to bring the tolerance down. Oh, and of course, you have to be on the lookout for dealers mixing the powder with things like xylazine And by the way government won't let you purchase the fairly cheap kits To be able to test whatever you bought. That last one is just going against users, since those kits would never help or be needed by anybody selling.

[@J.W.Little]

You are correct.

[@Fern.99]

The stigma and poor opioid education in the medical community has left chronic pain patients in a bad spot. Soooo many cancer, etc., patients can no longer get prescribed effective pain relief. These patients are the collateral damage in the war on opioids, a true tragedy when the vast, vast majority, 90%+, of chronic pain patients do NOT dvlp addiction behaviors.

[@ryguy-qh2qk]

Sounds like the OxyContin advertisement from the 90s where the guy says “less than 1% of people prescribed opioids get addicted”😂 but yeah the war on drugs isn’t a war against drugs. It’s just a war ON drugs. and it’s currently in its worst form only getting worse.

@@ajaychriston9154 it’s okay, thank you for your condolences. I agree with you that caution and respect must be shown to drugs and that our predecessors failed us. Had they been a little less quick to rule out certain drugs and medicalize others, I agree that many lives would have likely been saved. I believe past generations and policy makers acted rash in a response to fear or greed. I just think that if you view the problem being with access to drugs, then it’s an impossible fix. If you try to view the problem being with the drug user, it gets overwhelming and very easy to alienate the drug user. So the approach I know wish to consider, is what if we normalize the understanding and lack of understanding of drugs. Put what we know and don’t know about them in the table and then figure out what is all these drug users are coping with or running away from.

[@tbaxter07]

He's not brave at all. He admitted to using tiny amounts of fent a few times, and he thinks that makes him an expert on the subject, and unfortunately people like you believe him. So much of what he said in this video is flat out false. It is not "fine" to use fentanyl recreationallly. He has absolutely no clue what addiction is, how it works, or why it is so difficult to overcome. He thinks since he used a couple times in college, then that means fentanyl is totally fine to use recreationally. It should be used in a medical setting by medical professionals only. Advocating for the recreational use of fentanyl by saying "just use it smart" is so unbelievably ignorant and harmful it blows my mind that idiots like this can spread their misinformation so easily, and that uneducated people like you just accept his false information as facts.

[@chepulis]

Any time people talk of drug policy liberalisation and mention "responsible use" i recall all the alcoholics and drug users i've known. Many "responsible users" who at some points fall off the wagon hard, usually coinciding with shitty live events. Many blatantly irresponsible users who didn't need the heavy stuff; a lot of light was enough. I've known replacement therapy workers/activists who'd use their stations to get high and would promote drug use in semi-private setting (this one really was the last straw for me). I'd like to be on the side of liberalisation, but I'm not exactly convinced that fentanyl is analogous to wine and the sum total of my experiences with drug culture screams red.

[@tann_man]

Valid points. Drug liberalization for myself and many others isn’t about having more people do drugs. Ideally only the people who need/benefit from drugs take them but that isn’t reality and we can’t even force that reality with policing. I’d prefer large ‘responsible usage’ and small dangerous usage to the inverse we have now. Prohibition doesn’t work and it costs, lives, money and freedom. We can and should have a society that is well informed, generally abstains from drugs, and maintains freedom. Ultimately the government is a giant gun. If you refuse the law and refuse to be punished they will nothing less than shoot you. Would you be morally justified in pointing a gun at someone about to take non prescribed opiates? Individuals ought to have a right to their life, body, and property so long as they aren’t infringing on someone else’s rights.

[@dallas7077]

You're missing the point. As dangerous and addictive as alcohol is, I can at least buy it assured that I know what I'm getting. Most of the dangers of opioids do not come from the opioids themselves, but from the context in which they are used.

[@rars0n]

"Any time people talk of drug policy liberalisation and mention 'responsible use' i recall all the alcoholics and drug users i've known." You could say the same thing about literally anything that people misuse. Cars, for example. If you drive a car into a wall at 180 mph, you and the 3 friends in your car are going to die. That is one of the risks that results from allowing people to drive cars. Alcohol is such a good example because we've actually seen how prohibition worked: crime increased dramatically, as did violence and death, both from innocent people getting shot dead in the streets and moderate users dying from bathtub concoctions that had shit like denatured alcohol in it. It was also clearly a law that affected primarily the working poor, just like drug prohibition, as wealthy people either already owned or would amass a stockpile of alcohol while poor people were forced to buy whatever bootleg concoctions were available. In both the case of alcohol and opioids, the situation becomes FAR more dangerous to the common, low-level end user because they're forced to buy black market goods that are of unknown composition. As he explained in the video, the choice boils down to whether it's better to have more users using safely, or fewer users using less safely. And I wouldn't even say necessarily that this is a binary choice, as making drugs safer to use doesn't immediately equate to more drug users. Is the only reason that you do not use heroin because it's illegal? I didn't think so.

[@davidkeetz]

Great video - we have come full circle to our society returning to the practice of taking moralistic stances on substances. Opioids are seen as immoral so nobody should have access to them. Benzodiazepines however are okay (bc it’s a drug used mostly by the upper and mid to upper middle class) so nobody bats an eye at the over prescription of those drugs - even in the face of data showing that benzodiazepine withdrawal is much more dangerous than opioid withdrawal and it causes more deaths than low to moderate opiates (pure codeine, pure morphine, opium & most forms of heroin). Vape pens are seen as immoral even though pg/vg/nicotine solutions are about as harmful as caffeine - so they glob onto the fringe case of “popcorn lung” as their excuse to moralize the substance even though most vape juices don’t contain the chemical that causes that and the ones that do contain are usually thc based juices. Which leads us to marijuana, which used to be seen as immoral but now that’s fine - the same people who will go on about how bad it is to vape nicotine will turn around and sing the praises of smoking marijuana …. Beginning to see a pattern yet? it’s all performative virtue signaling and the general moral stance that legislators take on this stuff is as fickle as a 17 year old scene girl.

While the war of drugs had and still has detrimental and paradoxical effects against humankind's interests, this does not mean that fentanyl is not inherently problematic as, even by your own testament, it has extremely tricky dosage and can only be safely administered in hyper-specific settings. While the policy surrounding it may not be the best, you cannot with a straight face say that there is nothing inherently wrong with a drug that can kill you from merely being exposed to it.

But brother your trynna be reasonable about a unreasonable topic. Fentanyl has NO place in our society PERIOD ! Heroin and fentanyl is a LONG LONG LONG LONG EMPTY ROAD, there is no end. The argument for why or who or whatever is out the door at this point. Its now, how to cut the flow off completely and how to heal your receptors and body. You ask anyone really in the shit and ask them why they still do it and 99 out of 100 times it's the absolute FEAR of withdrawal. Your brain associates withdrawal with death. So maybe medically induced comas with iv drip for a week or so or something like that but who knows there's prolly already enough in our country to last at least a few years but we got to make this shit impossible to access.
