fentanyl and now carfentanyl are ravaging rural america. the repuplicans are trying to say its flowing across the border into our country. the truth is it is domestically manufactured. it originates in the core of appalachia and is then sold everywhere else. militarizing LA, DC, Chicago, Charlotte, or Memphis won’t fix it, nor will 1k daily deportations. the only fix for these problems is to meet the needs of the people. rural americans are desperately poor. if we want to address crime, we should address their material needs.
but none of this is about preventing crime. it’s all about supporting crime.
Having fairly recently escaped from a bout of homelessness that lasted about a year…
Oh, fucking hell yes, fent, carfent, blues, whatever the fuck its called in your neck of the woods…
Holy fuck this shit is horrifying, turns people into basically actual zombies.
Destroys their minds, destroys their bodies.
I did my best with an ultimately inadequate but above average amount of first aid and trauma care training to more or less trade medical care for food and cigarettes for a while… this shit is a goddamned nightmare.
Immense paranoia and delusions and violent snaps can happen on a dime, for no apparent reason, basically just causes schizophrenia as best I can tell.
And when I say zombies, I mean … beyond the infamous ‘lean’ and shambling…
The shit also destroys your immune system, and when your homeless, you tend to get injured a lot.
I saw, and tried to help, many people, fent addicts, with just… necrotic zones, wounds that were beyond horribly infected, had been infected and untreated for so long… just… you’d have to do an amputation, the actual underlying flesh just … yeah, necrotic, grayish goop, not blood, is what came out.
I had gloves and masks and wouldn’t do anything close to that unless we could use some area in a shelter that I could sterilize, and then bandage them up, usually got one other person to act as a kind of ‘guard’ and prevent anyone from waltzing in or what not… but fuck man… shit’s horrifying, these people all need ERs and probably ORs and actual professionals…
“It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
… I think Americans are waking up with a terrible hangover
I think we are closer to OD’ing.
