Opiates. OK.
>there was something in the NZ medical journal about how our sole supplier of medical opiates is changing what they supply to something with less 'abuse potential' is, I think, how they put that.
Subsequent to oxycodone, I take it? Something else lined up? The head of the TGA here said, 'I am not going to destroy Tasmania's opium industry for medical marijuana'.
>they were saying that in NZ the sole supply of opiates is medical sourced. we don't have... powdered something... like overseas countries do. our 'heroin' is all manufactured from medical supplies.
From friendly Tasmania? Lot of thebaine (for oxycodone) produced there, but also the whole lot of opioids. Most of the morphine is turned into codeine, but the world is as it is.
>They also predicted overdoses with the change in supply. They predicted something or other being used to cut the product and poisonings.
Is this about China, fentanyl and carfentanyl? Maybe we should not let so many of our essential antibiotics be made in Wuhan?
>I think they were selling.... Whatever the adrenalin shots are that revive people when they OD.
Nalorphine? Naltrexone?
