I just got home from a funeral. A family member of Ms. Monkeys died this week.
He had a really bad day. His wife got pissed off at him and left the house. He decided to walk down to the basement. Just one joint to take the edge off the shity day.
What he didnt know was that the Marijuana was laced with fentanyl.
Just one joint and now he is gone.
I witnessed a lot of tears and sadness today…because of just one.
It doesn’t matter what the DOC is, just 1 can be your last.
Stay sober friends. Relapse DOES NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. Relapse is a choice.
Very tragic! Sorry for your loss. Sending love to you and Ms Monkey.
We’ve lost a few friends that same way. Just one of anything could be the last. Thanks for the reminder. I know I have a relapse in me but I’m not guaranteed another recovery.
Their are only so many chances we get, could be the first relapse could be the 100th but it will get you in the end, there is no winning with any drug.
I am SO sorry about the loss of ur wifes family member how devastating!
I completely agree with you in the relapse doesnt have to happen. I find that at times some people normalize relapse as apart of recovery and trying to get clean/sober. Relapse is common, dont get me wrong (i was a chronic relapser). But we literally risk our lives (no matter the substance) every time we pick up. I know in my heart and soul that i dont have another recovery in me. I just feel it. Wishing u and ur wife healing during this hard time
That’s so f’ing heartbreaking. I’m so incredibly sorry. I had heard rumors about joints getting laced with fentanyl. Incredibly scary to hear that’s true.
I am truly sorry for this loss. It is an excellent reminder of why choosing sobriety is the only way forward for us. Sending hugs to your family and strength to all those struggling.
Tragic. Condolences for all.
In this case narcan would not have helped most likely because it sounds like he was alone.
Everybody needs to have Narcan around. If you use it on somebody who doesn’t need it, it will not hurt them.
I guess for the pot smokers it’s good that it’s getting legal so many places where they can grow it themselves.
Note: do not take random pills. Do not take random drugs. Do not smoke random pot. Educate your friends and family that they can be a dead victim of a tiny tiny little bit of fentanyl. Obviously abstinence is the best.
I hope the tragic news is broadcast and that people will listen.
There was a recent article about how there was enough fentanyl in the United States to kill everyone in the United States. I’m not surprised about that because it’s such a teensy small amount that kills.
I’m so sorry that your family was affected and that he died unknowingly.
how devastating!
For Ms.monkey and you
