Sudden Death 4: Types of Sudden Death III
Cocaine
The most feared drug
cocktail
is the
speedball--the
combination of heroin and cocaine. I searched far and wide for
scientific study of the ill-effects of the speedball. Our
cultural fear of this cocktail seems to be nothing more than
folklore--based on the fact that telling your body to
go in two opposite energetic directions at the same time seems
like it ought to be dangerous
Speedballs are dangerous, but the harm caused by them
seems to be due primarily to the cocaine. Cocaine increases
blood pressure and can causes heart-attacks Care should always
be taken when ingesting cocaine.
Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is ten times as potent as
heroin. Sometimes it is sold on the street as heroin, especially
under the name
"China White".
When you ingest Fentanyl that you think is heroin, you are doing ten
times as much as you think you are and this can lead to a true overdose,
but not of heroin, of Fentanyl.
