What drugs is fentanyl in

Great stuff. Fentanyl can only enter your skin transdermal if prepared,as in patches. Any items on police od's is purely psychogenic.

another disgruntled incel in the comments who should fentanyl themselves cause they're too cowardly to rope. /sigh

It's a really good story. To your point, morphine in very small doses is a great thing. But this fentanyl shit is going to cripple this country if it isn't contained.

Why is this not in sci-fi? What drugs were you on when you wrote this? Curious…

Interesting enough for me to read a 5 page story, but overall, ho-hum. For me, getting invested in a story is hard when none of the characters is likeable. The afterwod suggests Pete was even more unlikeable before some final edits, so hard to imagine how bad Pete must have started out. Pete ended up being a murderer. Killing Randy was in no way self-defense, more like a revenge killing. Pete's character even is thinking that Randy will never kill him b/c he doesn't have it in him. I get why Pete wouldn't ever trust Randy, but murdering him was a story-killer for me. You also might want an editor that know more about illegal drugs. Fentanyl is a pain killer, developed for cancer treatment, not a sleep-aid, and touching fentanyl doesn't kill you, that's an urban legend. It won't pentrate your skin. If you rubbed it into an open wound you might be in trouble, but casual contact is not an issue.

The descent into drug use was unexpected, but I can see it after being unexpectedly forced to kill someone. Nevertheless, the line I'd had fentanyl for a minor operation once, and it had been absolutely wonderful seemed unrealistic to me. I, too, had fentanyl during a procedure, once, and I'd hardly call it absolutely wonderful. It was for a CT-guided needle biopsy of a nodule in a lung, and the anesthesiologist told me that I'd be awake, but in sort of a dreamy state. She got it wrong: I was fully awake and aware, but the procedure was nevertheless painless. Perhaps that means that I was slightly underdosed, but there was nothing about it that even slightly tempted me to try it again. I just want to put that out there because I don't want anyone to think that fentanyl is some sort of groovy high.

Tasha Yar, in Star Trek: The Next Generation, once had the best explanation when it comes to drugs: drugs make you feel good, at first, but then you have to keep taking drugs not to feel good, but to keep from feeling horrible.

This was a pretty well written story, and I'm surprised that a reconciliation story is currently scoring over 4. It actually seemed reasonable to me, considering the passage of time in the story. Perhaps the drug part was necessary to give Mary Ann the opportunity to take care of Pistol Pete, so he had a basis of care to allow him to forgive her.

Reconciliation is one of those Am I better off with her or without her questions, and Mary Ann proved, as much as it could be proved, that he was better off with her. Yeah, he has a lot to forgive, and he'll never forget, but while adultery might not be something he ever did, he wasn't a perfect husband, as no one is perfect.

Ok. Why in the hell, would you want someone back, who was willing to dump you to trade up? What possibly makes you think, bringing a child into this relationship, would not end badly? The entire group must be abusing Fentanyl. Never would have went down like this- one star.
