Side effects of Fentanyl are harmful

Aside from turning human beings into literal zombies, one of the side effects of Fentanyl that we observe is a strange propensity to fold the body at the waist. This video from the Hodge Twins shows a less common example of how someone is flooded in half sideways. We often see addicts folded in half at the waste standing, sitting or lying down. It is very sad. These are sons and daughters and we are literally killing them with harm promotion. This is not social justice. Social justice is helping them get off these harmful drugs not helping them stay on them.

SF doctors observe fentanyl side effect that causes people to be completely bent over after use

Align Recovery centers state that "Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin, making it extremely dangerous. As its abuse increases, a peculiar and disturbing behavior has been observed among users: bending over or hunching."

"This phenomenon, often referred to as the fentanyl fold, occurs because the drug’s potent effects on the central nervous system cause intense muscle relaxation and loss of motor control. Users lose the ability to maintain proper posture, resulting in the characteristic bending over. Fentanyl induces extreme muscle relaxation, making it difficult for users to hold themselves upright. This relaxation affects the central nervous system’s signals that control muscle tone. As a result, users may bend over or slump as their muscles lose strength and tone."

"One of the most dangerous effects of fentanyl is respiratory depression. The drug significantly slows down breathing, sometimes to a life-threatening level. Reduced oxygen intake can make users feel dizzy and lightheaded, causing them to bend over as a subconscious attempt to stabilize themselves and breathe more easily. "

"Fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs, sometimes without the user’s knowledge. For instance, there have been reports of purple fentanyl, a form of the drug mixed with other substances that give it a distinctive color. This contamination increases the risk of overdose and other adverse effects because users may not be aware of the potency or the presence of fentanyl in what they consume. A concerning trend is the presence of fentanyl in weed."

"Some users unknowingly consume marijuana laced with fentanyl, leading to unexpected and dangerous effects. This contamination can cause severe reactions, including the bending over posture, as the powerful opioid takes effect. Users who are not accustomed to opioids may experience intense and dangerous side effects, even with small amounts."

Fentanyl-Laced Marijuana on the Rise

"Fentanyl is most often combined with other opioids to create a more intense high, but recently fentanyl-laced marijuana has been showing up on the scene as well. According to NBC News, a 16-year-old high school student in Connecticut was hospitalized after an overdose from suspected marijuana contaminated with fentanyl."

"The Connecticut State Department of Public Health issued a warning about the possible dangers of fentanyl-laced marijuana after several reports were received indicating opioid overdose symptoms in patients who claimed to only have smoked pot. In one instance, the marijuana was tested and found to have contained fentanyl."
