And yea I was well aware of everything throughout my addiction I suppose I just didn't care. I'm pretty confident that I've never unknowingly taken fentanyl, though I suppose you never really know. Fentanyl produces a very short high and is in my opinion distinctly different from the high heroin produces. I had access to lab grade fentanyl at one point (I can't say how or where I obtained it because I would be risking other people's freedom) so I was always able to safely take it without worry of overdosing and it's not quite as euphoric as heroin in my opinion. But yea surprisingly fentanyl and carfentanyl is what's really killing people out here, not so much heroin.
"Lab grade"? What, you mean like the actiqs or the patches? Street fentanyl wasn't a thing when I was using, but the pharmaceutical stuff came around a lot. It gave me one of the worst hangovers I've ever had.

Yeah, the guy I used to get oxy from would shoot up benzos and opiates all of the time. He mixed all kinds of crazy things with oxy and would save all of his cotton balls. Then, when he couldn't find any drugs, he would melt down all of his used cotton balls that probably contained about 5-10 different drugs and shoot that up.
People do crazy shit with drugs. All the while that I abused opiates I had a large prescription for ativan. I'm probably lucky that I didn't get sick, but I never hit the opiates very hard. I developed a daily habit for a little bit, but it was small doses.
Did you go on suboxone?
