I have this one!!! So now I know how old it is. Came from wifes grandma and still use it like idk once every few weeks!

I’m saving this post as an example of the worst data chart I’ve ever seen.

I have absolutely no fucking clue what is going on.

I don’t know why the dots are where they are. What direction means, if anything, on x y axis. I mean I have no idea at all. Is this art? Is it countries?

What the actual fuck.

I wonder what the statistics are on death from heroin or fent IV?

I don’t remember the last time, if ever, I’ve heard of overdose from hydrocodone or oxycodone. I know it’s possible but would take a lot.

Not counting things like mixing with alcohol and Xanax either. Mix oxy with a bottle of vodka and Xanax and it’s extremely dangerous.

I know the numbers exist. I’m just curious what the actual deaths are specifically from. I’d imagine fent and heroin are 90%+ of those deaths and I bet fent is the much higher percent in that.

I’d say looking at death rates in the 90’s would give a good idea of heroin death but again, to remove cross drug use numbers. And then what is IV vs smoking.

I may actually try and compile some data because I am honestly curious.

There would certainly need to be education about opioids.

But just a reminder, they were legal throughout most of history. Recently, from the civil war until 1920’s era (some laws in the teens and others later) we had morphine, heroin, and injections. Laudanum was sold at every store. And we had issues but it wasn’t the mass destruction that society fears.

Honestly the best way to keep people off drugs is economic security.

I understand your apathy towards the legalization. I just believe it’s the best course forward. There is no stopping fentanyl and the next chemical to come out. There are a few new RC’s that will be most likely be hitting hard in a few years that I’m troubled by as well.

No way to keep chemicals from poorer countries or areas to produce and smuggle in. We just can’t stop it. Fentanyl is only a thing now. What happens when the next more euphoric and less deadly one comes?

If they legalized and sold it in a controlled manner, with a set amount you can have (much like marijuana), deaths would go down tremendously.

Not only deaths, but $$$ for crime lords, human trafficking, all that evil shit. Then the amount of money saved by taxpayers on hospitals and rehabs. This doesn’t include the revenue generated by legalization which is more than enough to fund rehab services and do good for local communities with funding.

Keeping it illegal does nothing. Stops no one. It’s not like anyone who wants to use OPIODS doesn’t because it’s illegal. In fact much of the problem such as deaths is caused specifically from it being illegal (lowered tolerance deaths once out of dope for a short while).

I’m not suggesting anyone do heroin. I’m just stating that keeping it illegal is causing a lot of problems and isn’t solving the entire purpose of it being illegal.

I’m not “pro military” or whatever. Personally think the army is about 10x too large and too budgeted. Would rather see that money go into social programs. Anyway, this doesn’t seem that bad of a thing.

Imagine if someone who was qualified but was 30 pounds too heavy to enlist. It’s basically a pre-boot camp to get prepared. Or some ethnic minority who grew up in a shit ass ghetto to a crack head and dropped out and now wants to try and do better but is behind to the point they need to catch up.

If it wasn’t being used for the wrong reasons it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Truth is, the rest of the army is gonna make fun of them and it’s going to be a new joke about soldiers. Most of them will get the shittiest of jobs. And budget increases may come to help these because there is more money than people.

Truly fuck the military industrial complex. But there is a bigger problem here than this

Being from southern Illinois myself… yea. It definitely thinks.. different. Than the rest of the state.

Hey only $4

I’m PHP and JavaScript right now at 120k in Kentucky… guess it’s low because all the junior positions that touch it.
