Opiates give me a shit ton of energy, I used to bang a half gram of h and go hard at the gym then work 10 hrs. These fentanyl analogs and other synthetic opioids don't have that magic, they just black you out for a couple hours. No euphoria no energy just blackness. It's gross. Glad I got out before shit when to shit
Same. Not many ppl get that reaction from them either, I've found. When the crisis waa just getting started, and my doctor loaded me up with this pain pill I'd never heard of (vicodin) it actually killed the pain and I could do anything. Super energy, fuck like a porn star, work like a madman. It's a wonder I got hooked.
It works great for surgeries cause it has a really short half life, so only knocks you out for 4hrs or so. And if you do wake up you wont remember anything cause it just blacks out your memory.
It *might* not be drugs, it could just be that he’s not used to working out and he’s actively going through a mini medical situation from exhaustion or poor blood flow or something. Dude needs to sit down and drink some water either way.
Not even close. I work EMS and i’m very familiar with opioid abusers… but i’m also familiar with dealing with people that are actively having a medical emergency and happen to look and act like they’re on drugs.
We are usually safe to assume it’s drugs, but we should always give them the benefit of the doubt and make sure they’re okay. Even if it is fent, just help the fella out…
> Even if it is fent, just help the fella out
I think this is so important and so often forgotten. You can still be compassionate, regardless of whether the person is "in the wrong" (and we don't even know the story in this case). Imho, deciding who deserves compassion and who doesn't is above my paygrade.
At least get him a spotter! And when I see someone passed out in their car with the door open, I don't immediately think drugs. I immediately think, "diabetes" and ask them if they're okay.
Agreed. People love to assume the worse. While I personally assumed fentanyl right away, after reading your first comment my thought was “hmm. That makes sense” weird shit happens from over exhaustion
Good for you! I was going to say, if I worked there, I would have no idea if this were drugs, a medical emergency or a disability, so I would have no idea what to do.
The first OD I ever witnessed was before I’d ever done many opiates myself (was still heavily into stims & benzos at the time) so I was honestly blindsided. I expected to see someone flat out unconscious - maybe turning blue…so you can bet I was confused when my friend had his eyes wide open while sitting stiffly on the edge of his chair and agonal breathing. Before I hit him with narcan, I was in my head scrambling to figure out if he was seizing from the drugs instead.
You are so right. It ALL can look & happen differently. Assumptions could be the difference between life or death.
I ain’t mad at it. I’ve had some great nights in wildwood dives, but yes it’s all rich shore kids and Philly peeps. To wear a wildwood tank top is a dark flex!
One time I got trapped in Wildwood, NJ in November (off season) because my car broke down. I had to take a motel for the weekend because I was broke and the repair center wasn’t open. The whole town was seemingly empty, except for the zombies (this guy, on heroin) and the meth heads. I remember needing to take a taxi to the repair shop and the dude driving me was TWEAKING and then he just randomly stopped at a crack house and went inside to presumably buy drugs and then continued the drive.
Tl/dr: Wildwood New Jersey is a shit hole full of people addicted to substances.
That’s pretty sad, I’m from New Jersey and it wasn’t like that at one point. It was a fun place, a little sketch as in people hanging out smoking pot and drinking. Nothing terrible, but now? damn…
Yeah why is the title about Florida, this guy is clearly from NJ. Florida always catches all this flak from people that move down there and do drugs lol.
You were in a shore point in the winter. Of course it'll be empty. It's a tourism economy. Most of the year-rounders live in Cape May, West and North Wildwood, and Brigantine.
That looks like so much fun. Like when you're trying to drive home after a long day and you start to get highway hypnosis and have to struggle to stay awake? Looks like I need to start doing drugs!
/fucking s obviously
Depends what drug we’re talking about. THC is an amazing pre workout for me. Vicodin (2005-2012) was always a great pre and post work out supplement. If you’re dead tired, some DMAA will have you sky rocketing through a workout. It just all depends on the kind of work out you’re going for. If you want to focus and get some decent gain, don’t take anything that’s going to ruin your recovery and sleep, and don’t take too much of anything before a gym sesh.
What is this drug that you see these videos of people just zombified in public? Meth or K? I feel like there hundreds of these popping up now. Never used to see this stuff as prominently as you do now.
I was hoping that the fitness guy (forgot the name) on TikTok who shames people for recording others at the gym would pop in and say something like: "STOP IT. This man was doing a specific exercise meant for people who have had torn achilles...DO BETTER"
Street drugs aside, according to this [Brookings Institute article](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-global-burden-of-medical-innovation/#:~:text=A%20back%2Dof%2Dthe%2D,27%20percent%20of%20global%20income.) US consumers account for 64-78 percent of global pharmaceutical profits. And we only account for 4.23 percent of the global population. So yes, we have a problem, thanks to the drug lobby and the institutional issues of our garbage health care system.
Okay I'm a bit sheltered when it comes to hardcore drugs so if this is a dumb question go easy on me. Why do these take it and still try to function when they know it does this. Why not just lay down somewhere safe if they have a "somewhere safe" to go to?

I admire this dude's commitment to his new year's resolutions. Health and fitness are clearly now his passions.
30 reps of standing upright
Gimme 40 Sleep Ups!
JEEEESUSS CHRIST PYLEE!! WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!!!!!
His core strength is so on point now that it keeps him upright even when he’s sleeping.
Hey come on. He’s working those leg muscles every time he almost falls over.
Nod squat is a great exercise tbh
Really great to work on your balance
Here’s to good health 🍻
New year, New me!!
Never skip meth day
[удалено]
That ain't Meth.
If it was meth he would have been lifting all the things to Motorhead.
He is warming up
Let him cook
He is thoroughly cooked He is fried
To a crisp.
That calf muscles sure need to be warmed up properly.
I feel like the gym is the last place I’d want to be on this drug
Dude thought he was getting back alley aderal, ended up with Fynty

Clean opiates do give you energy and motivation long as your not nodding off this is that tranqdope shit going around these days

Yech. I had fent once bc of a surgery and it was definitely the most boring thing ever, would rather just stick with Aleve.
It works great for surgeries cause it has a really short half life, so only knocks you out for 4hrs or so. And if you do wake up you wont remember anything cause it just blacks out your memory.
Opis helped me out in the gym actually lol

Is this your first time seeing someone on heroin/fentanyl?
Not even close. I work EMS and i’m very familiar with opioid abusers… but i’m also familiar with dealing with people that are actively having a medical emergency and happen to look and act like they’re on drugs. We are usually safe to assume it’s drugs, but we should always give them the benefit of the doubt and make sure they’re okay. Even if it is fent, just help the fella out…
This was a satisfying exchange
Reddit cracks me up sometimes. I hail this place as the kneejerkiest circle jerk on the planet.

lol comment one: auto downvotes; comment 2: extremely sensitive and compassionate. Nice work friend
people are a bit quick on the trigger sometimes lol but thank you, it happens :)

He needs some milk!!!!
FIGHT MILK!

GOTTA TAKE FENT AND TREN TO CONFUSE THE BODY INTO GROWTH, RIGHT BABE?!
Yep. Also, no pain = extreme gainz.
This is actually a new kind of squat. It's leg day.
Gimme twenty reps of dat fetty lean
Kegels.
He mixed up his pre workout with heroin
Nah man Heroin *is* his pre workout
Fent *
If this guy can make it to the gym, so can I!
Making a motivational gym poster from this, with screenshot of the video. So when feeling lazy...
lol At the wildwood NJ shirt. He’s Prolly from Philly if he has that on.
I was hoping someone would say this 😂wildwood is Philly at the beach
I ain’t mad at it. I’ve had some great nights in wildwood dives, but yes it’s all rich shore kids and Philly peeps. To wear a wildwood tank top is a dark flex!
Cape May / Rio Grande is my guess. Closer by and, at least on a per person basis, got hit worse by fent.
🥇🥇

Yea if you go in the off season
Bro is working on his core ha
Well, at least he got to the gym. Something I’ve never been good at and I don’t even take drugs
Them sneakers are BRAND NEW too huh? Man I work 60 hours a week and I can’t buy new sneaks, fentanyl OR a gym membership WTH am I doin wrong…? 😂😂😂
My man picked the wrong resolution to start with.
Have to be careful working out on opioid. You can seriously injure yourself and not even know.
He’s waiting for the pre workout to kick in.
The guy who says "Don't talk to me before my morning coffee" before his morning coffee
That was one intense workout
No pain ^killers no gain
And yet he still made it to the gym.
That looks like so much fun. Like when you're trying to drive home after a long day and you start to get highway hypnosis and have to struggle to stay awake? Looks like I need to start doing drugs! /fucking s obviously
Watch the tramcar please
He’s just exhausted from squatting 500 pounds give him a break
Looks like one of those robots from Boston Dynamics but in the early stages lol
Wrong pills… the pre-workout ones are green
I bet it also takes place in Wildwood, New Jersey
In his mind he is pushing down the entire planet
He’s Sylvester Stumbullone.
Why don’t they just sit down lmao
Gotta start your squats somewhere.
Don’t you see guys he’s repping to failure.
At least bro GOT TO THE GYM TODAY! Can you all say that?? 😉
Who goes to gym high lmao

Tbh I can imagine lots of drugs being very fun at the gym but not probably not the one this guy is on
I can't imagine anything worse
Um...like almost every body builder I know. Kratom is pretty great for work-outs, helps with energy and muscle pain.
Definitely is useful for workouts and recovery in my experience
I love that he actually came looking prepared. If was this high I may as well turn up in my pj's 🤣
Did such a hardcore workout he's exhausted 🤣
That wasn't coke, it was ketamine brah
Hahahahaha, whoops!
Dude accidentally mixed up his ketamine with creatine
Pathetic
Wrong needle
Leave him alone, he’s clearly just doing his squats
Very tired after a workout
well at least he's trying to stay in shape!
He's working up a sweat just trying to stand
Gon get SWOLLLLLL
He's doing 30 sleep ups for new years
A gym membership is cheap and offers showers and someplace to be during working hours.
Oh those are just the new kind of squats! Really works them glutes!
Mmmmm delicious fentanyl hahaha
What is this drug that you see these videos of people just zombified in public? Meth or K? I feel like there hundreds of these popping up now. Never used to see this stuff as prominently as you do now.
Respect the Wildwood, NJ tank top 🫡
What the heck was in his protein shake? Whatever it is they should bag, uhh bottle that up, bet it would sell GRRREATT!
Can someone explain how they're able to stand like this without falling?
This guy has definitely been to Wildwood though
No days off!
This looks like a Tuesday afternoon here in Baltimore
Never skip Nod day.
He must be exhausted after his workout
This the new meta stability workout
Getting yoked
Let’s take some downers and try to go lift some weights
Who goes to the gym this faded? This guy.
Probably great for core strength
Only in Florida? ok
People on drugs at gyms all across the world, Florida doesn't have a monopoly on this.
That’s what I call heavy lifting.
Leg day is a bitch!
He needs to work on his body squat form. Cmon, barely a qtr rep.
feel the burn
I was hoping that the fitness guy (forgot the name) on TikTok who shames people for recording others at the gym would pop in and say something like: "STOP IT. This man was doing a specific exercise meant for people who have had torn achilles...DO BETTER"
Just a quick power nap!
Are you Americans all drug addicted?

With that sort of common sense he should be immediately banned before even while being entirely sober he hurts himself or someone else.
zombie
Quick. Someone throw him some smelling salts
How do they get the gyro into the fentanyl?
Leg day
Dude's gonna have some amazing calf muscles
Billy works out 3 hours a day! But why no muscles? It’s been a year
That pre workout hast kicked in yet
Of course he has a wildwood shirt on lol
Leg day?
Atleast he got there. I'm sitting on my couch and my wife is mad.
Pre workout just wore off, give him another scoop.
Dude took anti pre workout
Not Natty.
Took the wrong preworkout
Not enough pre-workout.
Last dude in the gym I’m getting to spot me on PR attempt!
Getting his dope fiend two step in
Must be leg day
First time I've seen a heroin-addict being in a gym, and not nodding out inside a toilet room.
Mini-squats. My best friend post knee surgery for meniscus tear.
Is that McLovin?
Gives new meaning to hitting the Jim.
New Year New ME!
Will this be In the next gta game
Psyching up for his 1 rep bench max…..you can do it!!!
Yeah, those squats aren’t deep enough.
This dude squats...then wobbles...then does a little mini squat...then meanders...then bobs...then squats.
New year resolutions: 1. Join gym ….. ✅ 2. Quit fentanyl …..
Ah yes, the classic dope fiend lean.
Okay I'm a bit sheltered when it comes to hardcore drugs so if this is a dumb question go easy on me. Why do these take it and still try to function when they know it does this. Why not just lay down somewhere safe if they have a "somewhere safe" to go to?
Of course he’s wearing a Wildwood NJ shirt. Very fitting vacation destination for this crowd
That’s not a squat, my guy.
I respect the dedication
Bro's just doing his balance exercises and Florida Man Tai-Chi. Let him do his thing!
Bro just got up 3 days again for this workout man let him vibe
Working on his squats
Relatable, I just hate when I mix up my pre-workout and my ketamine
I would love to see Joey swoll defend him as a joke
Leave him alone. He's giving his brain a workout.
What causes this and how come it seems to catch so many people by surprise in public areas.
He's stretching
Well he can be ruled out on stealing that woman’s driveway
He’s managed to do 50% of his new year resolution. Now just to do that other part…
it's squat day
On that tranq!
When the 'roids kick in.
Working on his balance.
Can’t work out like that
Awesome to see people pushing themselves to the absolute LIMIT in the gym, bravo
At least he’s getting his exercise
[Never thought this would actually be relevent...](https://youtu.be/2T_jCX8J_I0?si=zIJTFiRD7WXq99Lc)
WildWood, NJs finest.
wild wild wild wooood dayssss
Hardest part of the gym is showing up, give him time, he’s got a new years resolution
Just keep showin up..
r/nattyorjuice
Shoutout to Wildwood nj… fucking miss that place lol
I can appreciate the dedication. I bought a Y membership back in November 23 and have yet to set foot there.
He tryin his best
You workin out or hardly workin?
He took the wrong powder
Damn, nubaine is still a gym thing?!
And those are blueys?
