Saved a friends life last nite..

[Marcellas]

Was chillin with my buddy (Ill call him J) smokin and shit just got back from a food run when I got a phone call from another buddy (call him K) saying he's at my other friends house (call the other friend A), and that A said he didn't feel good and passed out and started making these weird snorting noises..

Now K doesn't smoke or do any drugs so he called me cause he had no idea what was happening.. All of us (A, K, J, and myself) are pretty close friends and me and friend J know that A does opiates once in awhile but doesnt smoke or drink that much.

Me and J rushed over to A's house to find him turning pale, eyes rolling back, started foaming at the mouth, and was unresponsive to slaps or even snow and water on his head. I immediatly called the ambulance and reported an overdose, possibly of opiates..

When the cops and paramedics got there, A had stopped breathing and was foaming more at the mouth and still unresponsive. The cops and paramedics assumed that me, J, and K were getting fucked up with him all night and that we didn't want to say what he overdosed on to get us in trouble.

I told them all the info I knew. Turns out he did a full 40mg oxymorphone (opana, stronger than oxy) and drank a little cough syrup later cause he was sick. His heart stopped and he stopped breathing when paramedics arrived.

They were able to revive him and now he's ok. But me, J, and K are being blamed for A's overdose and very near-death experience by his family and certain friends.. When really if it wasn't for us and he was alone he would have died and who knows when somebody would find him. We saved his life!! I'm still in shock

Jesus man. thats crazy shit. i got oxy persribed for my chronic pain, that stuff is no joke. too much for me...thank god you were around. Im sure A knows who to thank, once you beat the shit out of him for doing that to you and your friends.

Good job, Marcellas. I have a life long friend I've helped rescue twice. Each time, my friend's mother greeted us at the front door. It's hard to shrug off scrutiny but what other choice do you have? I hope your friend is ok.

 

[Marcellas]

yea man it was crazy.. i felt like sharing i dont know why, opiate abuse is a huge problem.. the worst that happens with marijuana is you'll get the munchies and pass out from too much!! be careful with those oxy's, im sure you know your limits so just dont abuse them.

i thought one of my best friends was going to die in my arms last nite. and he still doesnt realize how lucky he is to be alive

I have a good friend who crushes oxycotins and smokes them. The shit is dangerous but it's catching on for some damn reason and I see others doing it now too. I've never tried it, but they LOVE the high.

My girlfriend is a registered nurse and she sees crazy shit all the time. She says that "foaming of the mouth" is the first sign of an overdose and if you know someone who's been doing drugs (who is not in the right state of mind, slurring, acting like a zombie) with foam at the mouth, to put your finger down their throat and induce vomiting.

You really can save someones life man. Just stick to the weed guys!

 

[Marcellas]

It just sucks when you really saved somebodies life and that person's family and a lot of others blame me for his near-death.. At least his mom thanked me and gave me a huge hug at the hospital, that felt good.. All that matters is that my friend is still alive. He does opiates once in awhile and isn't addicted, so he should realize how lucky he is that he's ok and can stop doing that shit before it's a real problem or before something worse than last nite happens

 

[statusquo]

Mixing drugs is a no-no. 20mg of opana is roughly equal to 80mg of oc (both insufflated). Cough syrup is a downer as well - dissociative. Downer + downer = cya. I'm glad you caught your friend in time man. I wasn't so lucky

 

[psycho pirate]

That oxy is some dangerous shit to fuck with... very easy to overdose because it reacts with a lot of other drugs... way to be on the ball and save your bud, K+

 

[kaotic]

Pills are a huge problem where I'm at. I've had one friend OD twice on a little bit of everything mixed. Fuckers still alive thank god but has the intelligence of a 4th grader now.(not much of a loss) One friend died from methadone and xannax, another died from oxys and real morphine. Fuck these god damn drug company's and the crooked fucking pill mill doctors. Fuck their lobbyists and the bitch ass politicians that are greedy enough to sponsor THEIR bills.

I know what it's like. My friend is 47 years old and still doesn't realized he almost died at 15 AND 21 years of age. Hang in there buddy. This might be something you, J and K have to bear alone.

it gets even more real when they dont make it

I dont take any pills anymor really, use to cut a oxy in half when i did take em! im all about the green now and forever.

 

[Norrath]

tell those family members to get a grip. you did the right thing, were all very happy for you guys im sure. well i sure am, friend indeed.

 

[Sleepy]

good on you, marcellas...

you know you did the right thing...

he will realize it soon enough.

 

[FreezerBoy]

You know what you did and so does your buddy. Looks like Mom has a clue, too. Forget the know nothings.

 

[Marcellas]

I was addicted to opiates for a short while until I got arrested last march with possesion of a controlled substance (had hydrocodones on me - Class A misdemeanor), and poss. of marijuana (violation - decrimin'ed). I was on drug court for 6 months and went to jail for a month after failing my first drug test.

My new lawyer got me out of drug court a couple months ago so i just started blazing again and do opiates on occasion, and never go overboard. The high is great, but if you do them to often or do too much at a time or both, it will tear your life apart. My friend who almost died last nite has never been addicted to opiates and only does them on occasion like me, but he's not smart with them and does way too much at once.

....And obviously he wasn't to smart to ingest even a normal dose of cough syrup after doing so much of the opana.. He did nearly an entire 40mg of oxymorphone, which is nearly equal to 160mg of oxycontin. That's just stupid, even though he has a slight tolerance.



Now the reason why I'm still worried even though my friend's ok, is that the cops and paramedics and everybody are still convinced that me and my other 2 friends were doing opiates with him all night and that we were lying about it to save us all from getting in trouble..
..........I'm very worried because I have possesion of opiates on my criminal record and my case is still on-going, I had a pre-sentencing hearing at the probation office 2 days ago, and my sentencing date is in a couple weeks. I slipped and told the probation officer that I blazed once a couple weeks ago because I thought she would drug test me and I'd fail, didn't want to lie. Now if anybody involved in my opiate possesion charge/case finds out about my supposed "involvement in an opiate overdose", I could end up on probation or go to jail at my sentencing date because my friend was an idiot and overdosed.

This can be sorted if they called you on a cell or mobile phone....Get the info from the carrier and show them...or if it's LEO...let them legally get the records...

Should show 'em you were the hero and not the villain....

My friend, K called me on his cell phone to come over and help A, who was od'ing. And prior to that, A was texting me saying how fucked up he was and told me what drug he did and shit.. I was telling him how me and J were smoking some real good shit and were really baked. Thats why I didn't want to show the cops my phone, because I was lying when I told them I didn't know exactly what drug he did when I did know.. I told the cops/paramedics that I know he likes opiates so that was probably it, didn't want them to know I knew exactly what he took or they would assume I was with him getting fucked up.
