anime in a needle

anime in a needle — a name for fentanyl. A single drop of that shite makes you and the world seem like a Japanese anime complete with tentacle sex; school girls who turn into salacious sex monsters; and, inter dimensional ninjas with unparalleled skills.

Or, it just kills you.

The promise of an outrageous high makes people ready to risk it all to be “in the cartoon”.

In some regions, survivors of fentanyl overdose are called “cartoon characters” — as a call back to Wylie Coyote who always survives the mayhem visited upon him by Road Runner.

Fentanyl is also called “Road Runner”. Because it is highly addictive, people will “work hard” to feed their habit. Predictably, those addicted to fentanyl are called “Road Runners” or “Runners”.

The incentive to sell fentanyl is high because its kilo to cut profit is high.

The names associated with this drug tells you a lot about the people addicted to it; because speaking generally, neither Black nor Brown people read Japanese Anime.

The deadliness of fentanyl is feared among veteran drug uses. They actually tell new drug users to use Crack Cocaine as an alternative to ANY injected substance fearing that the potency of heroin is being “unscientifically” boosted with fentanyl.

When asked if the Crack could also possibly be laced with fentanyl the veterans say:

“Well, if it kills you on your first hit of the pipe; then, there was fentanyl in the crack. You might want to watch a round and let somebody else go first.”

Just sayin’.
The use a lot of that anime in a needle in Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. LIVE FREE AND DIE!!!!!!
