    And heroin’s just an opiate! And PCP and Ketamine are just anaesthetics!

      Ketamine is genuinely pretty harmless though. Not without risks of course but still not really anywhere near the others. More on par with weed, shrooms and such.

        Yes, I agree. And I said as much in a comment below. It was all me being sarcastic, and forgetting that sarcasm doesn’t really translate through the internet, lol. It was all jokes.

      Heroin itself isn’t that unsafe, the problem was that anyone who could guarantee a consistent dose was locked up, and now you probably can’t even get clean H cuz fent is so much more concentrated and therefore easier to smuggle. Anyone who dies of an opiate overdose is someone killed by the state’s endless war on humanity.

      Ketamine is one of the safest medications we know of when used properly.

      Get your head out of Nixon’s drug war propaganda.

        It was all jokes. I am certainly not a victim of that sort of propaganda.

        I abused the living shit out of ketamine and a ton of it’s analogues for over a decade. For about 6 years there during the worst of it, if I was conscious, I was at some varying level of highness off of ketamine and/or any number of ketamine analogues literally 24/7/365 for years and years on end. I know that it is physically extremely safe, with the exception of the urinary tract effects.

        I’ve never abused opiates myself (don’t like the feeling), but I have a ton of friends who did and/or still do. You’re right though, there is no real, even remotely pure heroin around where I live, and there hasn’t been for the better part of a decade. It’s all fent and fent analogues and nitazenes. Or so my friends tell me, that is.
