Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Looking at a mere picture of it can get a whole squad blitzed for weeks
dead more like
"Drug users can never know for sure whether the substance they are buying is what it’s claimed to be" is a solid argument for decriminalization. (Not sure where Finland stands on that.)
not just decriminalization, but full legalization, regulation, and regular quality testing.
and regular quality testing.
It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it suits up
Finnish law is pretty conservative about drugs, afaik
"Metonitazene is particularly dangerous because, in the worst case scenario, even a single tablet can lead to death. You can't tell what narcotics actually contain just by their appearance. Drug users can never know for sure whether the substance they are buying is what it's claimed to be," investigation head, Markku Juurikkamäki, said in the release.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonitazene
Metonitazene is an analgesic compound related to etonitazene,[2][3] which was first reported in 1957,[4] and has been shown to have approximately 1000 times the potency of morphine by central routes of administration,[5] but if used orally it has been shown to have approximately 10 times the potency of morphine.[6]
...
Its effects are similar to other opioids such as fentanyl and heroin, including analgesia, euphoria, and sleepiness.[6][7] Adverse effects include vomiting, and respiratory depression that can potentially be fatal.[8] Because of high dependency potential and dangerous adverse effects it has never been introduced into pharmacotherapy. It is instead commonly used in the illicit manufacture of counterfeit-OxyContin opioid pills.
"...but if used orally it has been shown to have approximately 10 times the potency of morphine"
Per wikipedia, so grain of salt and all that. Still...
Vast difference in potency between fent and morphine.
I have very little pharmaceutic knowledge, so I don't even know what parts to be wary of. We could add 5 zeros to the potency difference and it would be just as believable.
Couldn’t have name in title?
Metonitazene btw, not carfentanil like I would have guessed.
Carfentanil: fentanyl specifically for road trips.
It's like fentanyl with a gun.
Fentanyl’s loan shark the day after the big game when they discovered fentanyl’s blown town owing them a whole lotta money
what, is 1 grain lethal now?
1 grain is equal to 64.79891 milligrams. This would be a lethal dose of fentanyl.
damn i was under the impression grain was smaller. wow
One opioid to rule them all
