And Tianeptine began to be marketed in the early, I think, 2010s in gas stations as Neptune's Fix.

And it would be like almost the same size as one of those little teeny-weeny energy drinks.

And it has sedative qualities, but also some euphoric qualities.

And that's really where the term gas station heroin began.

However, lawmakers, law enforcement eventually began to catch on to what was happening.

And like just in the most recent legislative session in Maine, there was a law to ban, a proposed law to ban TNF team.

So you've got that cycle I mentioned earlier where

the drug users figure out what's going to get them high, what's cheap, what's available, and they'll start to use it.

Law enforcement, two to three years later, discover what's going on.

And eventually, two to three years after that, it trickles to policymakers.

Policymakers finally figure out a way to change it, to change the law so that it can't happen.

But by that time, either

all the ill consequences from the drug have already happened or the drug users have already moved on so now what's happened is they've moved on to products like um 70h here are other forms of it um if you'll notice this one this one's called opia

Opio.

Opio doesn't sound at all like they're trying to conjure the idea that it's related to opium, does it?

There are some that are called perk.

Obviously, they're trying to conjure the image that that is Percocet.

This is another one.

I bought these both.

from the same store.
