It’s f***ing boss, mate. I woke up after my appendix was removed and said it hurt so they said they’d give me something for it.....I went to the moon! Asked what it was and they said fentanyl, to which I replied “shit....that’s what killed Prince......can I have some more?” And I did get more.......

well it obviously does happen, I mainly sold to mates etc so not really the same....how long before krokodil is here or that insanely strong stuff they inject in the Midwest that kills 1 in 3.

They make krokodil in former soviet states due to the availability of heroin sometimes decreasing, also its dirt cheap. It’s not the sort of drug that dealers will get their hands on to sell....fucked up and skint addicts make it themselves...out of petrol and eye drops. Nasty stuff that rots the body.

I had to google him. When I did I struggled to remember anything about him. How bland must he be that the leader of a significant political party left no mental footprint in my memory? I don’t know if that’s my lacking or his.
I wonder if Glen Hoddle thinks strange things like that?

I'd have never put you down as one who'd try smack like.

I had a Scottish "mate" who was on the Methadone when I met him. It seemed just as bad as smack tbh. Constantly off his tits, or if not on it, constantly fighting with people and being grumpy (although that probably had more to do with him being Scottish than the actual Methadone).

Especially in places like Sunderland....post-industrial towns with high unemployment leads to a huge swathe of disenfranchised people, who want to escape the drudgery of their miserable day-to-day existence.

Smack is a lot less visible in Sunderland than the larger cities in my experience. The drug scene here in general is smaller, we don’t have a big club scene and most of our students live at home or are Chinese. Widespread recreational drug use results in more people getting onto smack, nobody tries it as a first time drug user.

Recreational drugs have little to do with heroin use to be honest mate

There is a massive problem with heroin in Sunderland and the contributing factors are largely socio-economic. Disconnected, disenfranchised people use heroin and usually in the comfort of their own homes or in their dealers house/drug dens.

I wouldn’t agree that it’s not a visible problem here, but treatment is quite easy to access in Sunderland, you can get prescribed an opiate substitute within a couple of weeks of referral. There is perhaps less of a street homeless problem and less of a complex and enduring mental health problem in Sunderland. When you go to bigger cities and see people on the streets often heroin is the least of their problems, they are usually spice, alcohol, benzos, crack users etc, have lived on the streets for years, have been to prison multiple times, disengaged from drug/mental health/housing services

The club scene is not related at all in my opinion, clubs are frequented by generally working class and above youngens using cocaine, MDMA, ket, psychedelics and relatively few of these people will develop addiction problems. Addictions services are generally populated with the poorest people in society and generally are a bit older. Most drug deaths are men in their late 30s, 40s + from heroin, benzodiazepines, alcohol and more likely a combination of all the above.
