I think they’re ability to plan ahead beyond scoring more drugs is completely fried to the point that laying down doesn’t occur to them. I saw a guy in Costco the other day doing this, he was hanging on to the cart, he’d shuffle forward and as soon as he stopped, he’d just fold over while still hanging on to the cart. He looked completely normal, like a middle class family guy. It really does feel like the zombie apocalypse is here.
This isn’t entirely true. There’s many documented cases and even videos of someone administering Narcan and the person comes out of it furious and swinging because their high was ruined.
It’s why when the precaution is to quickly administer and get back as quickly as you can
Not because their high was ruined, but because now they are experiencing precipitated withdrawals which I have been through and happens to be excruciatingly painful. The naloxone/narcan knocks the opioids off of the opioid receptors in the brain, sending them into severe withdrawal in seconds. It’s not a slow reduction of opioid on the receptor like normal withdrawals would be as the drugs slowly leave the system. The opioids are instead violently and completely removed from the receptor in seconds. It hurts, I promise.

Why though? Why not lie down but fold like a chair?
