Several months back, when I told my sister that one of the reasons I’m planning on moving out of South Carolina is because where I’m moving to (Puerto Rico) has a medical weed program that I’m eligible for since I have Autism and ADHD, she told me that medical weed was laced with fentanyl.
Yeah quitting alcohol will kill you and nicotine is still the hard one for a lot of people. My unofficial psychiatric subspecialty is violence management and nicotine is on my list of top ten reasons people will punch you right in the face along with food, perceived threats to their children, and looking like the person that diddled them as a kid. Interestingly opiate withdrawal actually won’t kill you (at least not directly), you’ll just wish it did. Benzos and barbituates totally will though they work on the same system as alcohol.
Benzo withdrawal will kill you, but goddamn is it hard to kill yourself with benzodiazepines… You’d think that something with a deadly withdrawal would also be easy to OD on, but no.
