Is It Possible to Purchase Carfentanil Over the Counter?

Question by Andrew: Is it possible to purchase Carfentanil over the counter?

Best answer:

Answer by Hr?odb?orð
I sincerely hope not. Carfentanil, a generic for Wildil, is an outrageously strong opioid intended for use in tranquilizing animals and is in no way safe for human consumption, although after reading up on it I understand the attraction. As an opioid, carfentatnil is akin to codeine and heroin — only much stronger than either, and synthetic. Consider this quote from a ranking chemist of the Drug Enforcement Administration:

“For instance, carfentanil is approximately 4000 times as potent as heroin and has an extremely favorable therapeutic index […]. Hence, an easy week’s work for two chemists could provide 1 (one) kilogram of carfentanil which would be equivalent to four metric tons of pure heroin.”
–Donald A. Cooper, DEA Senior Forensic Chemist, in “Future Synthetic Drugs of Abuse”

Question by AngE: Opiate/Heroin Addicts Only: Has methadone worked for you?
Don’t want other’s crappy opinions about methadone. I’ve heard it all. I want to hear from addicts who have tried MMT and hear about their results.
Clarification: Even if you had a bad result in MMT, would like to hear this. I don’t want info from non-addicts who have never taken it.

they took me off my pain treatment medications and methadone you don’t get highs off it but it keeps you from going into withdrawals

Answer by Tang
It does the trick, though at a cost. I’ve had both methadone and suboxone, and suboxone worked better for me. A lot of that had to do with I’d rather go to a doctor once a month than a clinic 5 days a week. But some people don’t like sub because it’s only a partial agonist, and they don’t feel like it “holds” them as well as methadone does.
