I remember watching a show many years ago about how the coca leaves are processed to make cocaine. A film crew got access to a site in the jungles of S. America and filmed the workers doing the process to extract the drug from the leaves.
I was blown away at the amount, and type of chemicals used in the process and if you watched it, you'd have to be nuts to put that crap up your nose. It made those rednecks on that TV show about bootlegging whiskey look like rocket scientists working in a germ free sanitized lab.
Some of the chemicals used in making cocaine include:
Kerosene
Sulfuric Acid
Ammonia
Diethyl Ether
Acetone

I hung out with some of the IceGators once years back. One of them pulled out a baggie and they all started partaking. I was offered but only opted to put a small smidge on my lip for shits and giggles (would never actually do it). Made my whole face go numb. No thanks

In my youth I did a fair amount of meth and tried crack a few times. Didn't care for the crack because the high literally only lasted a minute or less but I almost let the meth turn into an addiction because I didn't like it, I fricking loved it.
Fortunately I managed to escape it's clutches eventually and haven't touched it in a little over 30 years. It's definitely dangerous

So what happens is they run out of the drugs that big pharma has gotten them addicted to, and have to go to the black market, at best spending copious amounts of money, at worst getting a fentanyl laced batch (which are everywhere) and ODing on the floor.
It's fricked up

I had a friend that accidentally tried crack. He never did it again but said it was fricking wild.
That’s all I got. Surprisingly being born and raised in Mississippi I don’t have any meth head acquaintances. Most drug addicts I know got hooked on Xanax or pain pills. Xanax is the worst imo
my buddy went to rehab for xanax and oxy. Left rehab to tell me "dude, the crackheads in rehab make crack sound awesome"
wasn't exactly the report i was looking for but he is doing alright now

My stepson is a junkie. He called a few days ago saying he was once again getting evicted for non-payment of rent and was living with no utilities due to being shut off for the same reason.
This is a 39 yr. old who just can't seem to get his shite together and has been using since his mid 20's. He's lost great paying jobs due to his drug habit and has burned so many bridges over the years that he is basically bad news in his preferred line of work.
As for me and his mother, we are plumb out of sympathy at this point in time because he's living a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself with the same eventual outcome. He chose that lifestyle, so his failures are all on him. He had a good upbringing, graduated Jesuit High and LSU and was a gifted student academically. Poor personal choices as an adult have led to this.
His days of returning to the house are over after the last time when he was here for 9 months and did absolutely nothing in all that time until I said make some money and get out or he'd find himself on the street with no money-----either way, he was getting out.
I was here 4 short years ago, and your stepson and I are very close in age. I know what hes going through and I am certainly sorry for what you and his mother are going through.
Addicts never ever ever see how much mental damage they are doing to everyone in their immediate circle.
As a matter of fact, that is one of the hardest things when you sober up is living with your decision to live that life.

I was on a 50mcg/hour fentanyl patch for over a year till there was an end of year shortage and was forced off it simply due to insufficiency. The prescribing Dr. was shocked I had no withdrawals.
Now I take hydrocodone in a moderate dosage as needed a few times a week.
BTW psa: prescription drugs are allocated to the states on an annual basis. All narcotics have been on a decreased allotment for the last few years. The results are end of year shortages or just plain unavailability.
So if you or your loved ones are reliant on pain meds advise them to stockpile if they can. The last forecast I heard was compounded decreased allotments means the shortage will start in the Fall and run through the rest of the year 2024. (Senator Cassidy is on the congressional committee overseeing these decreasing allotments of meds, he was my pain Dr.’s cadaver partner 1st year med school)
As longs as your doctor can prove that a patient has a legit reason to be prescribed pain meds, meaning a person should have a specific code written on his or script and have tried alternative methods that have been proven to be unsuccessful, those meds will always be available. Although i agree it is getting much harder to obtain a script of oxycodone or norcos.

It sounds like from the tone of your response you've gotten a handle on the problem and are now doing well, and if so, congrats to you for doing so.
I'm 71 and his mother is 65, and at this stage of our lives we just don't need the drama that comes with HIS problem.
I told his mom years ago when I first realized he was having a drug problem and refusing to seek help to get over it that his addiction is a choice he made as an adult and not of any consequence of what we did raising him.
He had a good upbringing with a stable home life, attended good schools as a youth and was academically gifted--------Unfortunately, he absolutely has no common sense when it comes to making good life decisions.
I'm pretty sure if he ever cleans up his life and kicks the habit, he too will have regrets about a lot of things he's done in life.
Maybe the thought of that is what's keeping him seeking the drugs because facing reality sober can be a pretty daunting thing when he's had a history of using people to the point they no longer want anything to do with him.

Never really felt the need to partake in anything else but weed. I was around coke a bunch my younger years but never tried it. I’m open to trying psychedelics, or really anything that grows naturally. A good rule of thumb is to stay away from anything made synthetically or in a lab.

Had a friend back in the day who used to smoke weed and pop pills now and then. He tried crack and told himself he’d never do it again. He did it again, but put himself into rehab afterwards because he knew where it would lead. I guess it’s that addictive.
Is this where you got your LVVV investment advice from?

Xanax is no fricking joke. I’ve seen countless people have their lives destroyed by that addiction.
I’ve done it once but I just did not understand the appeal. It literally just makes you black out.

I did meth exactly once. I liked it. It made me dance. That said, I never sought it out after.

I believe xanax (benzos) and alcohol are the only substances you can actually die from if you quit cold turkey after continual/prolonged use

I did meth a few times years ago.
One time on a fishing trip - Fished like hell and drank nearly an entire case of beer, hell of a time.
Another time I played blackjack at the Horseshoe in Shreveport non stop for about 6 hours , won several thousand dollars.
I never liked the way it made me feel while on it or coming down.

Tried crack once but I was already speeding from snorting coke. Couldn't tell if there was a difference or not.

I did it one time and I didn't know it was meth the way we know today.
I snorted some Crank about 30 years ago not knowingexactly what the heck it was. I hated the way it made me feel and couldn't imagine wanting to ever do it again.

Anyone (here) use these once or maybe 2-3 times and were over it then, i.e., not instantly addicted?
No one is ever instantly addicted, and if you only used them 2 or 3 times you're fine.
