This was actually, I bought those at Bros 2, which you're probably familiar with, because it's right next door to Tucker's Studio in Maine.

And the guy who sold those to me didn't speak a lick of English, but when he saw me pointing at the gas station heroin section, he just started laying out in front of me all the different options.

And then the woman who did speak English and was maybe the general manager of the store saw that I was, I guess, a gas station heroin user and perked up and came over and actually tried to upsell me on the 200 milligram versions of the gas station heroin.

So she knew exactly what she was doing.

She knew exactly what she was trying to sell me, what she thought she was into.

It depends how much fentanyl you've been using on a daily basis.

Yeah, I know.

If you're a first-time user, I don't know.

I don't know, and I don't think anybody knows, and it hasn't really been studied well.

The best advice that the people who are promulgating this as a healthy product, the best they'll say is start slow.

So it's so poorly understood and understudied that we don't know those kinds of things.

For someone who has been a habitual fentanyl user, maybe their dose could be higher, but these are acting on the same receptors in the brain, but they're also a little bit different.

So maybe your tolerance from fentanyl or heroin doesn't translate over perfectly to 7-OH.

Narcan will revive you if you overdose on 7-OH.

Have you seen people overdose on this?

I haven't seen it personally, but I'll tell you the day that I bought those,

Someone sent me a story from Richmond, Virginia, richmond.com.

There's a guy who went into a head shop, just like the one I visited last night, bought pills just like those and died in the parking lot.

Took one, died in the park.

And maybe he went in there with a foreign load, and there were other drugs in his system.
