2. ChristieCare -Rubbing Brain Cells- Smoke Shops Selling Synthetic Opiods


Welcome to my newsletter!

Let's rub some brain cells together :)

What’s Really Being Sold in Smoke Shops?

Many smoke shops and gas stations now sell semi-synthetic substances that are marketed as “natural,” “herbal,” or “energy boosters.” But in reality, these are dangerous opioids that put your health at risk.


🚫 What Are These Substances?

  • 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) – a highly concentrated extract from the kratom plant. It is 10–13 times stronger than morphine and can cause overdose and dependence.
  • Tianeptine (“Gas Station Heroin”) – sold under names like Zaza, Tianaa, Neptune’s Fix. At high doses, it acts like heroin or fentanyl and is extremely addictive.
  • Both are often sold as gummies, capsules, or vapes, making them look harmless—but they are not safe.

⚠️ Why They’re Dangerous

  • Unregulated: No quality control. You don’t know what you’re actually taking.
  • Highly addictive: They act on the same opioid receptors as heroin and fentanyl.
  • Overdose risk: Can slow breathing, cause loss of consciousness, and even death.
  • Withdrawal: Users often experience severe withdrawal symptoms, just like with heroin or fentanyl.
  • Misleading marketing: Sold as “supplements,” but they are really street opioids in disguise.

✅ Why Suboxone Is Different

  • Safe & regulated: FDA-approved, prescribed by licensed professionals.
  • Designed for recovery: Reduces cravings and withdrawal without the highs and crashes.
  • Built-in safety: Contains naloxone to discourage misuse.
  • Protects your future: Stable, controlled, and proven effective in long-term recovery.

💡 The Bottom Line

Smoke shops may make these substances sound harmless, but they are dangerous opioids that can trap you in addiction or lead to overdose.

Suboxone is the safe, medical alternative that gives you stability, protects your health, and supports real recovery.


👉 Don’t risk your health with smoke shop opioids. Choose a proven, safe treatment that works.
