Why is fentanyl ruining your life
Surpassing suicide, something has become the fisrst among all in the United States.
It's drug. This is because of the opioid analgesic, Fentanyl. Every year, 70 to 80 thousands people in the United States, a population in Hong seong city in Korea, disappears every year.
Fentanyl is an opioid pain killer, developed in 1959 by Janssen, famous for its Tylenol, Nizoral, and COVID-19 vaccines. Because the patent has expired, it is being manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies.
Fentanyl, a synthetic drug, is easy to make and is 50 to 100 times more effective than the same amount of Heroin.
Opioid analgesics such as fentanyl should be used as a last resort only for terminally ill cancer patients, but in the United States, with a lots of lobbying drug companies have been urging doctors and hospitals to use it indiscriminately.
At first, you start with opioids painkillers that are covered by insurance, and when you take in to an extent that no longer insurance can cover, you eventually reach the illegal drugs such as heroin, and your life starts to fall apart in an instant.
Fentanyl was profitable and easy to smuggle as even a very small dose was enough to give a narcotic effect. So, drug suppliers in China, Mexico, etc.,

paying attention to the potential of fentanyl, are releasing a large amount of fentanyl on the black market. For this reason, fentanyl is nicknamed China White, and 80% of drug deaths are caused by fentanyl.
In other words, fentanyl is easy to manufacture at low cost, has strong effects even in a very small amount, and is highly addictive.
Because it is a drug that can replace the existing demand for heroin, criminals are distributing it in large quantities, and drug companies' lobbying for opioid painkillers is combined with this, causing a huge wave in North American society such as the United States and Canada.
Fentanyl is the reason for 80% of drug death It's because Fentanyl is very dangerous Fentanyl is absorbed better into fat than other opiate substances, so it can easily cross the blood-brain barrier between blood vessels in brain.
The effect of morphine, which was used as a pain killer during the war, occurs slowly over 10 to 15 minutes, but the effect of Fentanyl, which is well absorbed, appears in an instant, destroying the nervous system, the brain cannot notice CO² concentration in the blood.
So, our brain thinks there is no need to breathe and eventually stops breathing, so the supply of oxygen to the brain is cut off for 10 to 20 minutes and brain cells are destroyed to death or turning into a vegetative state.
It is the Fentanyl that was used as the sleeping gas for Moscow theater Hostage crisis in Russia, which inspired the movie 'Tenet' And it caused the casualties about 140 hostages and terrorists with respiratory paralysis.

The lethal dose of fentanyl, which is 100 times stronger than heroin, is only 2mg, but sufentanil, which is ten times more powerful, and carfentanyl, which is 100 times more powerful are also being circulated.
And it makes drug users dead that the purity and quality of drug can't be guaranteed The antidote to fentanyl, naloxone, helps people recover from breathing problems, but ironically, the pharmaceutical companies that lobby doctors to use fentanyl also sell it.
These pharmaceutical companies have been fined hundreds of billions of won for leading the misuse of fentanyl. Fentanyl cannot be stopped, once started. Because, like most narcotics, they are highly addictive.
Why does drug cause addiction? Maybe does drugs give feeling of happiness and trance for real? and does drug users feel so happy with it?
The truth is the opposite, it's the terrible pain that keeps them using it. Pleasure has a threshold and our body has a strong tendency to maintain homeostasis, so if the same pleasure is repeated over and over again, it reacts less to that pleasure.
Fentanyl has an analgesic effect so strong that it causes abnormalities in the pituitary gland and the receptors of endorphins, and endorphines are our body's natural pain relievers.
They burns like an electric circuit with overcurrent flowing in it. So, when the effect of drug is over, we can neither produce nor use endorphins.
Here, once the strong stimulation of fentanyl is felt the threshold of the substance required for pain relief has risen. People are asking for more and more fentanyl than the first dose. This is called 'Adaptation' The real disaster hasn't begun.

Now, without fentanyl, the natural analgesic effect of endorphins are no longer available, so every little pain that is naturally felt in daily life feels very exaggerated.
All external sensations are perceived as pain, and drug users become a state similar to that of a CPRS patient who feels serious pain from breeze.
Unfortunately, however, You can't adapt to pain. but, as threshold of pain decreases, you will feel more and more of it with the stimulus of the same level. It's easy to understand why it is so, when you consider that evolution is in favor of survival.
If we could get the same amount of pleasure over and over from the same act, for example, from pooping, then we would poop all day, without needing to risk our lives hunting, working or studying. You will be happy pooping all day.
Pain is different What if the pain lessens as you suffer?
Even if you are bitten by a tiger, struck by lightning, or wet your pants before your crush, well, this, too, shall pass away. Eventually adapting to pain will kill us It's not a very good way to increase our chances of survival. So, the more our body suffers, the stronger the warning.
to make you avoid danger In conclusion, drugs can bring you an extreme pleasure and happiness at first. But once you've done it, the next time, all you can feel after that is the pain that keeps getting stronger.
It's the pain that make you inevitably take more drugs, and that's how you slowly.. die.
