The mysteries of the 'Fentanyl Fold'
7/10/2024 - San Francisco, California, United States of America: A man is seen partially folded over, a position taken by many users while under the influence of opioids such as fentanyl, in San Francisco, Wednesday, July 10, 2024. It’s become a ubiquitous sign of the fentanyl crisis unfolding on San Francisco’s streets: scores of seemingly comatose drug users slumped over in extreme positions. Examples of the “fentanyl fold” have been plastered on social media for years as San Francisco continues to try to get a grip on a highly visible opioid epidemic that claimed the lives of more than 800 people last year. A fentanyl user for the past two years tried to explain why users tend to double over in such extreme angles, saying, “your brain and body are at odds.” “It’s like falling asleep in class,” “You blink your eyes and 20 minutes go by. You’re kind of half-in and half-out of consciousness.” (Stephen Lam / San Francisco Chronicle / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Drug consumption rooms could save thousands of UK lives, study finds.
Facilities could also slash transmission of diseases and cut pressure on ambulance callouts and hospitals, study says.
Thousands of lives could be saved if safe rooms were set up in UK cities where people could be supervised while they get high, the world's largest review of the effectiveness of drug-consumption rooms and overdose-prevention centres (OPCs) has found.
The part-government-funded study also found the facilities could slash the transmission of fatal diseases, as well as reduce drug litter, the pressure on ambulance callouts and the burden on hospitals.
Similar facilities already operate in France, the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Mexico, Iceland and Colombia.
Injectable drug user receives assistance from a nurse, in the supervised consumption room, the only one in the north of the country, in Pasteleira, on December 15, 2023, Porto, Portugal. The monitored consumption room is a container divided into 2 rooms, one for smoking, containing six seats, and the injectable room with 4 seats and with nurses controlling and providing assistance, where consumers can only spend 30 minutes in each room.
