Dependence & Withdrawal: Because of its high potency, it carries a severe risk of physical dependence. Stopping chronic use triggers a rapid-onset, intense opioid withdrawal syndrome that requires professional medical detoxification.

Youtube algo recommended me this channel a few times. He's a licensed pharmacist and he reviews gas station pills. He made a review video for "perks", 6 days ago. I haven't watched it because it's age restricted and I don't use an account.

I watched it, they found the advertised kratom derivatives but also trace amounts of other compounds that suggest potential synthetic opioids in the pills too. So sketchy

Licensed pharmacist in 4 states! It used to only be 3 but he recently got licensed in another state.

He's a very well educated guy who seems to just be a chemistry/pharmacy nerd who loves to investigate OTC pills. These are entertaining videos with very high ASMR value. I haven't seen the "perks" review but I saw a previous gas station pill test (Black Widow 25) which was pretty entertaining and educational.

If you don't know yet, stay away from gas station pills. It's so much worse than it was a few decades ago (and it was already bad then). Nothing good is in them and they're constantly side-stepping regulations to bring sketchy shit to market.
