Chemical Profile: MDMB-4en-PINACA is a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist, designed to mimic the effects of THC but with significantly higher potency. It binds strongly to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, producing intense psychoactive effects such as euphoria, relaxation, and altered consciousness, but also severe side effects like confusion, agitation, and psychosis.
Nitazines:
Nitazenes are extremely potent, with some analogs (e.g., etonitazene, isotonitazene, protonitazene) being 10–40 times stronger than fentanyl and hundreds to thousands of times more potent than morphine. For example, etonitazene is reported to be up to 1,000–1,500 times more potent than morphine.
Reuters:
While there are no official figures on deaths attributed to kush, a spike several years ago led authorities to carry out group cremations, the report said.
“Likely thousands of people have died from kush in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Gambia. And the drug is spreading fast,” said Lucia Bird Ruiz-Benitez de Lugo, director of GI-TOC’s Observatory of Illicit Economies in West Africa.“
My god I can only imagine what that would do to the ENTIRE northeastern USA - the larger area of where I grew up has one of the highest rates of opiate addiction around. Hopefully there’s strict environmental conditions needed to grow that so it’d be extremely hard for that to thrive in our climates.
Since you mention the North East, it seems a form of “Kush” (Synthetic cannabinoid mixed with opiate) has been found in “heroin” samples (fentanyl) in Massachusetts .
Because the MDMB-4en-picnica is so powerful and fast acting, it must give a boost to the “rush” when combined with the opiates.?? Curious as to the extent of this “Kush” form being distributed in USA…certainly it actions may be responsible for “Zombie behavior”.
I lived in both Boston AND Lynn…more surprised that it showed up in Boston proper to be totally honest. Lynn is as sketchy as it gets - as they say… “LYNN, LYNN THE CITY OF SIN, YA NEVER COME OUT THE WAY YOU COME IN!”. I’m not sure if what you shared is related to the previous news a few years ago that people were buying fent laced weed in Lynn, too or if the pdf from Brandeis (which is just barely outside of Boston in Waltham) is simply referencing the same situation but with actual analytics to shine a light on what was in it.
But now that I think about it for a second - they likely obtained the Boston samples near where I used to live called ‘The Methadone Mile’. Imagine one long road of severely opiate addicted people just sort of there in a line for whoever has the wares to serve them. It’s a real melting pot over there because complex chemical substances being made by extremely educated and underpaid college graduates IS NOT out of the realm of possibility as MIT, Harvard and other high status universities are all within a few miles of eachother.
This is shit that has supposedly has human bones powdered into it. I shit you not.
Cemeteries are bolstering their security measures because gravediggers are stealing human bones to make powerful synthetic drugs, local journalists told Business Insider.
Now that’s a bit far fucking fetched, but from what I’ve copypastad from the Daily Mail here (which we all know is legit reportingz)):
early forms of kush used the synthetic cannabinoid ADB, a greyish-white powder with the street name ‘bone’. Combined with the fact that kush is sprayed with formaldehyde, which is used by mortuaries to preserve bodies, it is easy to see how the rumour began.
Ah yes, my hometown. I remember when Kensington only had crackheads. Now its zombie crackheads. Ever wonder what happens to a community when you put a loud dirty train line elevated above them, take away all police, social services, etc? Now the train won’t even stop in Kensington anymore.
There’s no real fix for the situation there. I think the city is banking on everyone dying.
