Opioid withdrawal is actually not fatal at all barring potential dehydration from excessive diarrhea/vomiting.
- Baeocystin 8y agoI edited that out. Apparently most opiate related deaths during withdrawal are due to a person wanting 'one last hit', but choosing a dose that they no longer have the tolerance for.
- bonesss 8y agoA potent argument for legalization of opiates, IMO. Something as simple as concentration percentages on packaging, as we have with booze, and smart usage pamphlets could save a lot of lives.
- Baeocystin 8y agoI don't disagree. I think Portugal's experiment has proven that decriminalization is the best path forward pretty conclusively.
- mimimihaha 8y agoThis is a genuine question but legalization but still making kind of difficult to get or just all out legalization and selling it wherever?
- Baeocystin 8y agoLegalization along the lines of what we're currently doing with alcohol and tobacco.
