US drug overdose deaths per year are at or above 100k since covid, making the Deaths per Million of population for the US something like ~300 these days.
the US hasn't had Estonian overdose numbers since those halcyon days of 2015, late Obama.
the US hasn't had UK overdose numbers since our beloved end of history, pre housing crisis/pre-iraq war ~2001-2003.

They're closer to real ass heroin, which for all its faults, the classic is better in about every regard.
I know a lot of addicts, about 30 less than I did at the start of 2020. Fent seems fucking miserable based on being around people doing it, whereas the time my pal ended out scoring real ass heroin which is pretty rare and finding out it was the real deal after shooting it, dude looked like a rainbow appeared over his head by all accounts its really really awesome. So less people die and they have a better time...just do that
