Why is being sn, seen as a better idea than taking illegal opioids?

[lameemo]

In my brain if i got a few oxys off of a stranger, there's a chance they'll be cut with fent. that being said wouldn't that help a lot with CTB purposes. i don't see why it would be more or less painful than SN, just easier.

(sorry i'm a little bitter cause it turns out i bought the pink curing salt instead of actual pure SN, so it won't do shit)

I think SN is seen by some as the better choice because it is (or, at least, was) easier to obtain. But if you have ready access to opioids in sufficient quantity, they would probably be better. For a start, you wouldn't need an anti-emetic

Because they made opiods a crime to purchase and keep

Most people don't know that heroin and morphine were completely legal for a long time at least 40 years see link below. U could buy them at several stores no questions asked. Imo they lied there was no addiction problem any greater than what is today with massive restrictions. They lied to control us more and passed the first law against heroin and morphine in 1906 in the US . When u buy something fron a reliable company then u know exactly what purity it is. Would u rather buy heroin or fentanyl from Bayer company or some some guy on a street corner.That's the difference . In a criminal black market u don't know what u r getting and can be scammed at any time. They can tell u its heroine or fenanyl but be some crap cut with some heroin and with pcp in it

DCL: Vice, Crime, and American Law

It's very difficult to know the exact 97% pure amount to kill yourself with because they censored that info too.

People don't realize most things like heroin, hiring someone to assist u with suicide were legal until they made those into crimes on false pretenses

It is all about ease of access and reliability. Some people can get fent easier, some people can get SN easier. SN has a proven protocol that works if followed while buying random pills off the street hoping they contain the drug you need is not a good method. Also, oxy is most likely not going to kill you, you need actual fentanyl.

SN is easily reversible and the consequences are fairly light. Most survivors of failed attempts recover without any lasting or severe damage to their health.

A botched CTB with opioids can easily make you a vegetable.

SN's consequences, in my opinion, simply outweigh the consequences Opioids bring if you fail.

SN and Opioids mirror each other in a way - SN: you'll feel yourself dying but the consequences are not as harsh (usually). Opioids: vice versa.

At least that is what it felt like as someone who was "laced" when I used substances back in the day.
