Sgt. Richard Kelly was found unconscious in his office in August. The drug use that caused it was likely intentional, officials said.

Not mentioned in the title: he was snorting confiscated fent.

Also this is a cop from the town all the Proud Boys who came to Portland in 2020 live in.

Anyway, happy Friday! officer-down

    I don’t know much but my impression is that snorting a line of fentenal like it was a line of coke is like a MASSIVE dose of that stuff, is that right?

      Ld50 of cocaine is apparently ~96mg/kg, while fentanyl is ~18mg/kg, assuming an oral route for both.

      Yeah, it is. The person responding is talking about doses on paper that don't really correlate to anything IRL. By their logic, it would take a half ounce of cocaine at once to kill somebody. I assure you, it takes far less than a half ounce to kill somebody, otherwise nobody would be able to afford to overdose.

      The thing that made me need 3 narcans and cpr was 1/4 of an oxy 30mg press. Meaning that if it were the opiate it was advertised as (far weaker than fent) I would have only been taking 7.5mg. I assure you, there was far less than 7 mils.

      Glad I'm off that shit
