My Life and Death on Opioids
In November 2017, The Walrus started working with Chris Willie on a memoir about his fentanyl addiction. While writing the article, Willie died from an overdose. This version of his story is published with his family’s approval

This year has brought a lot of bad news in the world of drugs and drug addiction. First, it was elephant tranquilizersbeing found in batches of heroin across the nation. Then, the number of deaths related to Fentanyl shot through the roof. And finally, we had fake Xanax make its way around Florida, killing at least 9 people. Drug use is scary these days and it’s astounding that anyone in their right mind would choose to use drugs. It seems like you never know what you’re gonna get. Now, we have another huge problem looming on the horizon and it looks completely dismal.
In Pittsburgh, PA a type of Narcan-resistant Fentanylhas been found in batches of heroin and it’s already causing numerous overdoses and deaths. Apparently, it’s hundreds of times more powerful than morphine and called Acryl-Fentanyl. There is a distinct difference between Fentanyl, Carfentanil and Acryl-Fentanyl. Believe it or not, Fentanyl and Carfentanil actually have legitimate, medical uses. Fentanyl is an extremely strong painkiller that’s usually given to patients before or after surgery and for those who are terminally ill. Carfentanil is, well, an elephant tranquilizer and has veterinary purposes. But Acryl-Fentanyl has no known purpose for even existing… and it’s highly troubling that it’s been synthesized.
You got it, Acryl-Fentanyl is synthesized, which means it’s artificially created and has no natural origin (remember, heroin’s natural origin is a poppy plant). Not only is it manmade, but it’s being created in China, like most other research chemicals and synthetic drugs and being smuggled into the United States.
DEA Special Agent In-Charge, David Battiste said, “If Acryl-fentanyl is introduced into the population, it can have devastating effects. You would have to reuse Narcan if you are revived from Narcan at all.”
That’s right folks, this stuff is completely resistant to Narcan. Like Special Agent Battiste said, it’s unlikely that Narcan will reverse its effects and, if it does, it will take multiple, multiple doses. We’re already having enough of a problem with the strength of opiates these days. Narcan is struggling to keep up and continue to save the lives of those who overdose. Acryl-Fentanyl is going to make this problem a whole lot worse and this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the devastating effects this drug is going to have on our society.
Opiate abuse has reached an all-time high, creating an all-time low for our society. Instead of curbing the problem and reducing use and abuse of painkillers and heroin, the problem only seems to be growing at exponential rates. Instead of halting the importing of these drugs into the country, they just keep flowing in. Want to know why? It’s because we consume this garbage. Manufacturers in China know, in my opinion, that they can keep making ultra-strong and deadly drugs and we’re going to consume it. And not only consume it, but consume it in mass quantities because the world knows that the United States has a completely unquenchable thirst for drugs

Damn.

Crazy part is. Part of the reason the opioid crisis hasn't taken as hard of an effect in black communities is because they kicked us off/didn't give us healthcare for so long, many couldn't get the legal opioids that would lead down the road to an addiction.

KOLODNY: So our new opioid addiction epidemic is sparing African-American and Latino communities, and it's striking when you look at the data. Whether you're looking at overdose deaths or emergency room visits for opioid use problems or treatment admissions for opiate addiction, it's very clear that this epidemic is overwhelmingly white. And it begs the question, why? I can share with you a theory, and it is a theory that's based on evidence.


Something that we do know is that doctors prescribe narcotics more cautiously to their non-white patients. It would seem that if the patient is black, the doctor is more concerned about the patient becoming addicted, or maybe they're more concerned about the patient selling their pills, or maybe they are less concerned about pain in that population. But the black patient is less likely to be prescribed narcotics, and therefore less likely to wind up becoming addicted to the medication. So what I believe is happening is that racial stereotyping is having a protective effect on non-white populations.

Montana had the highest suicide rate in the country. Then budget cuts hit.
Suicide has been a persistent problem in Montana — and it’s getting worse. Now, some who have lost loved ones are mobilizing to stop the deaths.

Suicide has been a persistent problem in Montana — and it’s getting worse. The state saw 25.9 suicides for every 100,000 residents in 2016, nearly double the national average, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data that is age-adjusted. Since 1999, that rate has risen 38 percent, even faster than the 30 percent
