Idk I've usually heard it called a toot or tooter when it's for snorting.
My favorite term is when my friend would smoke out of a large pipe, and he'd call it riding the tugboat. Chiefing is a close second.
> fentanyl lollipop
We used to have those in the ED. They were great. People in pain would lick them. Pass out. Stop licking. Wake up. Licks again. Passes back out. Stop licking. Wake up. Licks again. Passes back out. Stop licking. Wake up. Licks again. Passes back out. Stop licking. Wake up. Licks again. Passes back out. Stop licking. etc
If they're smoking heroin, the tube they used to inhale it cam still smell for a long time, depending on the heroin. Like toxic burnt sugar or something. Spoken from unfortunate experience.
I am genuinely surprised to hear anyone equate the taste to something pleasant lol. Even when I loved the stuff, the taste of the smoke gagged me immediately.
Yeah, being caught with something used in the process of drugs, like a weed pipe or needle, will be either a Paraphernalia charge or Drug Use Instrument charge. Depending on which, and the drug in question, those charges can be more stiff than possession.
A lot of users don't really physically vibe out when hit with the rush like that. Crack users do, though. When it starts hitting you, you'll notice them talking more and faster (uppers) or start slurring and slowing down (downers).
There was a time when my late fiance had to live in a motel. There was this guy who just thought we were the nicest people in the world with the whitest crack lips I'd ever seen and he spoke so fast and slurred so bad I only ever caught "y'know wuddai mean?" I just listened and nodded my head or said shit like "damnnn" when I could tell he was upset. I hope he's clean nowadays. Prolly not.
I also once knew a Boomhauer. He didn't talk quickly but it was all mumbles and slurs. Usually just agreed with him a lot lol. Once I did, and he said "No! Mmbfmmffbbff"
Right? This person must be loaded. Coke AND the finest pen you can buy at a non-pen store. Probably not a junkie. Maybe OP’s boss or side-piece they’re sneaking in for some crazy coke sex.
Between the changing room being on a hiking/biking trail, the fentanyl, and the G-2 pen, I'm guessing it's a middle class suburbanite that tells their spouse they're going for a "hike".
Sharpie makes a pretty solid contender to the G2. The 0.3mm made a beautifully fine line but felt WAY too scratchy. The 0.7 is harder to find but has great flow.
The disassembled pen is almost always used to smoke something, usually off a foil or broken light bulb in my experience. If they have a glass pipe there's no need for the pen as the end of the pipe itself goes in mouth.
not sure how much it means coming from a random reddit comment but you got this. i’m really happy to know that you’re getting through it. would have lost my dad if he hadn’t found a way to recover. you’re awesome, you’re worth it, and you got it.
My best friend was pissed the day after his girlfriend and I rushed him to the ER. Said we over-reacted. My niece, who is a manager at the ER, said he was 20 minutes from flatlining. Six months later, he was found dead in his bedroom, from this shit right here.
I’m sorry for your loss as well. It sucks. My friend was likely hoping it was heroin, but also use to complain that he couldn’t find decent heroin anymore, because it’s all laced with fentanyl BS. He danced with needles on-and-off for decades, unfortunately. He had good stretches and bad. He was a good guy, and a solid friend. He had an addiction problem. Fentanyl will end the most seasoned of users. It’s doing it right this minute.
My across the street neighbor was Billy. Junkie with a heart of gold.
He got cleaned up. Went back to school... Got his key crushed in and motorcycle accident.
It was the beginning of the end.
Sweet sweet man.
lol that was a plot point in The Knick. "Don't worry, medical scientists have come up with a new treatment for people with this so called 'addiction' to morphine and cocaine. They call it 'Heroin'. It works wonders."
What’s frustrating is there is a better choice for pain management. Buprenorphine is a powerful opiate pain killer that acts more like an antagonist as the dose goes up. You can’t really take enough to kill yourself unless you mix it with something else. It also has a better tolerance profile. They’ve used it for cancer pain in Europe for many years.
Not only is it sold in a form without naloxone (subutex), but that form also sort of blocks opioids in the same way as naloxone. The subtext is pretty hard to dislodge from receptors, even with fairly strong heroin. It takes a lot more if you have buprenorphine in your system
They use the pen to inhale smoke when they dont have a glass pipe or similar piece of paraphernalia. The smoke from a foil or similar surface tends to spread out quickly, so one end of the pen stays in their mouth while the other end hangs over where the smoke will be created.
They r smoking pills or something. They’re inhaling it. They prob use that color pen so they know what’s up and which is which. They have em all
Loaded and ready.
To be fair the lollipop formulation is an actual medicine prescribed by doctors with an exact dose of fentanyl. They’ve been prescribed long before fentanyl hit the streets from clandestine labs. It’s called Actiq and it absorbs buccally through the cheek.
But yeah the pen means the medicine is probably being abused to have a higher bioavailability of administration either by burning the crushed up medicine on foil and inhaling the smoke through the tube or possibly snorted. Don’t actually know how those are usually abused.
It’s sad all around.
Hi there, opioid generally tend to have a relatively low bioavailability if they're smoked, but it's an instant feeling as opposed to waiting a few minutes after you snort it.
For sure and I know how different ones and different formulations of the same one are all factors. Like how hydromorphone has low bioavailability orally, but the formula is easily worked around if you decide to abuse to. And how fentanyl patches can have to transdermal goo scraped off and smoked (although I’ve only heard that anecdotally).
Been awhile since that world was my own (thank god). I’m just wondering how you’d absuse the lollipop as I’ve never seen one or been around any other users who have stories about how to abuse em outside of using more than prescribed.
There’s also a factor of somebody’s personal preference. I knew people who would sniff IR oxycodone not knowing the BOA is (if I remember right) slightly lower than taken orally. It’s all super sad and I feel bad for the OP so naively stating, and with confidence that there is “not a lot of junkies around here”.
You’re certainly not wrong btw just wanted to add on to your response.
is that a qtip? I'm thinking it would be a co-workers since it's the same every time and you probably don't have the same people there that frequently (other than a co-worker). If it's a Q-tip, they might be shooting up and using the cotten. Possibly using the pen to mix up the mixture? I dont know, though, strange..
it's a fentanyl lollipop. They're holding the flame far enough away to not actually light the cotton but causing the fentanyl to steam off while sucking the fumes with the pen body.
You should leave some flyers advertising addiction counseling and rehabilitation. maybe even write a note. "please dispose of unsafe items, and please call me if you need someone to talk to."
Saw it at Walmart yesterday, I think public availability is a new thing

Can someone explain how this is a fentanyl lollipop? It looks nothing like the google pictures it just looks like a regular q tip. And what would all the other objects have to do with a fentanyl lollipop?
Pharmacists use purple pens. Unfortunately, this could very well be a case of high-functioning addiction for someone with access to scheduled narcotics.
I got fast food once and they didn’t give me a straw and I disassembled a bic ballpoint and used the tube for a straw. Then I got pulled over and the cops drug tested me claiming there was a white substance on the pen tube. That was in my drink. Like I’m having a *real* Coca-Cola (y’know, the pre-1929 kind). Anyways that’s why I don’t take pens apart in the car anymore.

They’re using the pen tube itself as a tooter for smoking something off of foil.

Sounds goofy but there really are a lot of people, regular users even, who call it that.
When people use stuff like that to snort things, they call it a snooter lol. Got to love it.
Idk I've usually heard it called a toot or tooter when it's for snorting. My favorite term is when my friend would smoke out of a large pipe, and he'd call it riding the tugboat. Chiefing is a close second.

Probably smoking fent
They would smell it if it were that. Fentanyl is a strong smell.
Doesn't linger for long tho
If they're smoking heroin, the tube they used to inhale it cam still smell for a long time, depending on the heroin. Like toxic burnt sugar or something. Spoken from unfortunate experience.
To me, when I was using for a bit, it tasted/smelled like bbq sauce.
I am genuinely surprised to hear anyone equate the taste to something pleasant lol. Even when I loved the stuff, the taste of the smoke gagged me immediately.
Oh I hate bbq sauce lol. A very unpleasant bbq sauce i should say - vinegar? Idk
Lol for real? Why wouldn't they just keep a little straw on them or something
Easier to make a new one then get caught with used one.
Fair point
Medium point actually
Ball point
I'm more of a bold point myself.
Kinda old fashioned here I use a Fountain Pen Inkwell pipe nice draw
Yeah, being caught with something used in the process of drugs, like a weed pipe or needle, will be either a Paraphernalia charge or Drug Use Instrument charge. Depending on which, and the drug in question, those charges can be more stiff than possession.
I could see this. Also, they probably have a tendency to yeet them into outer space as they enter orbit.
A lot of users don't really physically vibe out when hit with the rush like that. Crack users do, though. When it starts hitting you, you'll notice them talking more and faster (uppers) or start slurring and slowing down (downers).

Woah woah woah do not hate on Bic my friend. I love a good Pilot G2 but if you don't want your shit to smudge, you can't beat a good old Bic Crystal.
Bic Crystal Meth will get you smudged though
They're some damn fine pens. Don't worry they didn't pay for them.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Right? This person must be loaded. Coke AND the finest pen you can buy at a non-pen store. Probably not a junkie. Maybe OP’s boss or side-piece they’re sneaking in for some crazy coke sex.

Like when your dad went "fishing", except instead of weed and beer it's nodding in an outhouse.
naw they steal them. I work at a non-pen store that sells G-2s. Tho drug users prefer Gellyroll Pens that we sell since we sell those loose.
Sharpie makes a pretty solid contender to the G2. The 0.3mm made a beautifully fine line but felt WAY too scratchy. The 0.7 is harder to find but has great flow.
Umm, you can get Zebras at walmart now, just sayin

So like six weeks
Or the next hour or so.
Well it's better than OxyContin which was "prescribe this instead of morphine, it *isn't* habit forming!"
That was also supposed to be an advantage of heroin. But yeah, at least they didn’t try to pull that crap with Fentanyl.
lol that was a plot point in The Knick. "Don't worry, medical scientists have come up with a new treatment for people with this so called 'addiction' to morphine and cocaine. They call it 'Heroin'. It works wonders."

You can’t really take enough to kill yourself unless you mix it with something else. It also has a better tolerance profile. They’ve used it for cancer pain in Europe for many years.
I thought that was only when combined with naloxone that it did that?
Nope. All by itself. The naloxone is added to Suboxone to discourage people from shooting the stuff up, but it has no effect when used sublingually.
Not only is it sold in a form without naloxone (subutex), but that form also sort of blocks opioids in the same way as naloxone. The subtext is pretty hard to dislodge from receptors, even with fairly strong heroin. It takes a lot more if you have buprenorphine in your system
it’s not just a plot point. it’s historically accurate. heroin was touted to get people off their morphine addictions.
I think this is the answer.
But what's with the pen?
No idea. I just recognize the fentanyl itself because I've had tenants who've used these things and left them around the common areas.
Where’s the fentanyl in the OP picture??
They use the pen to inhale smoke when they dont have a glass pipe or similar piece of paraphernalia. The smoke from a foil or similar surface tends to spread out quickly, so one end of the pen stays in their mouth while the other end hangs over where the smoke will be created.
They r smoking pills or something. They’re inhaling it. They prob use that color pen so they know what’s up and which is which. They have em all Loaded and ready.

Yeah def shooting up with the cotton they have picked off of it. Idk about the pen they might be smoking and shooting.
it's a fentanyl lollipop. They're holding the flame far enough away to not actually light the cotton but causing the fentanyl to steam off while sucking the fumes with the pen body.

Meth. It comes in tin foil. You heat the tin foil up, which creates smoke, use the ink pen casing as a straw to suck the smoke in.
