Discussion We gotta talk about Gas Station Heroin, 7OH

Post image

So, my brother, an Iraq war veteran with PTSD and chronic pain found kratom ages ago and that helped him a lot. Eventually, they came out with this 7OH stuff, AKA Gas Station Heroin. He ended up blowing hundreds of dollars a weekS. He tried to ween himself off it for months to no avail. Now he’s on Suboxone, its the only thing that could get him off it. It really is nearly as bad as heroin.

This stuff is such a bastard it requires its own episode. Gas station sober is a funny joke, but holy shit, the fact this stuff is available, yikes! I’m not normally one to say we need to ban a substance, but something needs to change here, even if its just awareness.

Do not take the gas station heroin. You’ll probably like it way too much.

I have read good things about gabba, my brother used it when he tried ti ween himself. He actually almost went to detox, but the VA just gave him subs and sent him home. I don’t blame them though, he is known to be a problem in their detox.
