On Reddit, over 300k people are helping each other test new synthetic opioids they order online — and get clean (or try to). Recently, they've discovered an illegal research chemical, a fine white powder they order from China, that's helping them detox for good. It arrives in packets labeled NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION (to get around American drug laws) though they are absolutely consuming it — and they claim it works better than any opioid addiction treatment on the market.
A tribute to the power of technology (and chemistry). Enjoy.
