People seem to not realize how much worse heroin and crack are compared to pretty much all other drugs out there.

It's way more addictive than other drugs. The effect is too strong and people will crave for more as soon as it's over because the "high" is really, really high but doesn't last very long. Snorted "powder" cocaine(which is already very addictive) high lasts up to two hours and the effect is more mild. A crack cocaine high will last up to 15 minutes, and heroin isn't much longer than that, and you'll feel like shit once it's over.

That's factually inaccurate. Alcohol, for that portion of the population that gets physically addicted (which is different than alcoholism), is one of the worst. The withdrawal, even assisted, can be fatal. Oxy can addict you instantly, first try. That is also true of other opiates, but Oxy is brutal.

I was not talking about withdrawal fatality rates and treatment. I was talking about addiction.

A shitload of people consume alcohol because it is legal and socially accepted, but only a small percentage develop physical dependence. That's the polar opposite with opioids and crack - fewer people use it but the percentage of people who get addicted to it and develop physical dependence is very high.

Every patient goes through a detox procedure. It's mandatory.

You're either lying, oblivious to it or the 1% of the population that has superhuman resistance to it.

I live in a third world country and unfortunately some hospitals here(mostly the public ones) lack medications, personel or aren't very organized(or all three) and many patients are discharged without proper treatment.

It's possible I was still barely conscious. I don't think I was on the Morphine for more than a couple days or so. Next was Oxycontin which slowly got lowered (but was on still a bit more than a month at home after.) Though the first time the Oxycontin was less than that as when it ran out I asked the doctor for something less strong (knowing how addictive it is) but stronger than OTC. Was given Tramadol which didn't do a thing - Tylenol worked better (apparently a percentage of people it doesn't work on.) 2nd time Dr just said to keep on the Oxycontin. No detox after for that. This is in the US.

Ever thought they didn't wanna share it because they felt ashamed?

Being a former heroin addict, you more than anyone else should know how powerful that drug is.

I'm a pharmacist and worked on a hospital once and I've seen hospital patients who had to go through morphine use for extended periods of time and didn't receive appropriate treatment when discharged doing crazy stuff to get it. And heroin is even more addictive than morphine itself.

And that is on a controlled environment. Now imagine people on the streets with no access to it and no money. It's really completely ridiculous to say just a really small percentage of people do whatever it takes to get these drugs.

No. If you knew the first thing about drug addiction and alcoholism (like most medical professionals love to think they do), you'd know that by the time you are going up to give you share/lead you've already worked the steps and you're gonna give the down and dirty about "What it was like, what happened, and what it's like today." So, I couldn't disagree more with your first sentence.

Also, this will be the last response you'll get from me. You can keep ranting until your hearts content, but the health of my bowel movements is more interesting to me than engaging with a know it all any further. Have a nice day!

If you keep feeding him, he's going to keep eating. I personally suggest we let him starve at this point. But, if you guys wanna continue to bang you heads against the wall, that's essentially what you'll be doing.

This is 100% correct. You might wish you were dead coming off heroin, and crack is just a choice to stop hardly no withdrawal when it comes to that.
But, DT's can kill you.

You have two options, ask for someone to port it. But, it won't be official and I use custom code. So, if they jack that up your save might not work with the next update, or...

It's been right here and here for $5 since Feb 10th:

Are you saying that the Android won't be updated anymore?

The game is not free, this is a pirate site. The only way you get a game to a pirate site is if someone posts it on a pirate site.
I don't post my game on pirate sites. I choose to participate in the community because some people here are cool and some are even supporters of mine. But it's not the developers that update games. It's the community.

Why would I post it on here myself when I make less money because people can get it for free? It wasn't free to make.
So, while I hope the game gets here eventually for all platforms. That way more people can see it and I can get more exposure and possible supporters. This shit is not free to make, therefore most developers don't do public releases. There are some that do, but it's not the norm anymore.

Not to mention there are people who won't get games from here because they don't trust pirate sites, I'm not calling out F 95 whatsoever, because they are normally very good about filtering out people who try and post games with viruses. But, it has happen and happened more recently.

Also, I have about three other platforms I sell the game on other than patreon now. Where all there used to be is two. Those people are willing to buy the game. Not to mention while this is still a good place to advertise. F 95 posts EVERYTHING. I mean HTLM, etc etc... Those aren't super popular. As a result of that devs used to get 24 hours or more of exposure on latest updates. Now we're VERY lucky if we get 12.

So, while this place is still valuable for developers it's not what it used to be.

Hope that answers your question! Cheers!
