A nice bit that I heard on the radio this morning. Derby day is like Cheltenham; steeped in tradition and protcol, but under the pretty hats and dresses, often monstrous drinking and behavior. Glad I donāt have to go to either anymore. At least the Derby is only one day.

This story is getting too common across the US. Fentanyl is in everything. It disgusts me. Itās one thing if people knowingly take it but itās a whole other level when they have no idea. For those without addiction issues, days of going out and partying for a weekend are long gone.

A friend whoās an EMT downtown just made himself a bandolier sash with Narcan spray doses taped on with black electrical tape. He wears it when heās off duty, partly just to spark conversation. The judgement and lack of empathy for the sufferers is palpable, especially when it gets hot here in the PNW. Mercy.

What I donāt understand is why phenyl is in the stuff? Is it intentional? What would be the motive?

Itās because itās so cheap from labs in China. The drug dealers use it as an additive to cocaine, increasing volume which in turn makes them more money.

Right! Why weed? It sickens me! Those doing the lacing need harsher sentences when thereās an overdose, even when the user survives.

This showed up in my morning news feed. It resonates with me: no big drama, just life as it happens. Compared sober vs drunk.

I found this an interesting article on sober weddingsā¦including this comment that really nails it for meā¦
āPeople that use drinking as their primary social lubricant or hobby have a different perspective of the world that almost hinders them,ā Dr. Lembke said, adding that āthey only know a world in which people are using alcohol as a way to facilitate human connection.ā

Recent local stories. It feels weird that ppl say that they arenāt going to downtown recovery meetings anymore, bc thereās too much drug use downtown. Addiction is so full of paradoxā¦
