Researchers found that naloxone use did not increase relative to the number of overdoses as deaths have fallen since 2023, suggesting that other factors may be driving the national decline in overdose deaths.
I’m going to save you some time and frustration and just let you know: You’re being down voted because you seem to be treating drug addiction like a personal failing rather than the disease that it is.
Knowing the thing you are addicted to could kill you is not a significant deterrence when you are addicted to something like heroin. You just feel terrified and also addicted. Clearly you don’t understand addiction, and shouldn’t be passing judgement on to others.
I am being downvoted because people misread my post, I never said that. If someone is addicted they aren’t really able to think rationally anymore, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid, and I never said it did.
The argument that fentanyl can be equated to apples though? That is 100% maximum stupid.
Also, it is a fact that eating enough apples to kill you is physically impossible so the argument is all that dumber. For a science community there sure are some wildly ignorant and trollish responses.
I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Addicts are perfecrly capable of thinking rationally. Acting rationally is another thing, but the desire for more heroin becomes a PHYSICAL need. And your.body and mind have a hard time rationalizing NOT taking something that every signal in your body tells you that you need. A heroin addict trying to kick heroin is akin to you trying to quit eating food. Nobody misread your post, they just all knew more than you.
The question was about whether or not addicts are capable of thinking rationally. As someone who grew up with heroin addict parents and struggles with addiction myself, I promise you I know what I’m talking about.
who the fuck eats apple SEEDS??? fuckin stupid argument that trivializes addiction. YOU are the asshole trivializing things with crazy urban legend arguments

Apple seeds have a significant amount of cyanide in them and you shouldn’t eat too many.
Don’t you know this, rational thinker?

One can “overdose” on any number of seemingly benign substances is the point of the original comment.
