Students OD at Ole Miss

 Two students died from drug overdose at Ole Miss.  The university issued the following statement on Facebook: 




Oxford police and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics are investigating.   This email is floating around campus: 

Apparently, the drug causing the overdoses is cychlorphine, and it doesn’t show up on fentanyl test strips. Spread this to your chapters and tell them that nothing is safe. I’m working with the office to get a message out. 

Because it is invisible to common harm-reduction testing tools, emergency personnel and health agencies emphasize that if an overdose occurs, naloxone (Narcan) must still be administered immediately. However, due to cychlorphine's extreme potency, multiple consecutive doses of naloxone are frequently required to restore breathing - if something happens, make sure your guys know how to save a life

1st, prayers for the families.

One of those documents said Narcan available in vending machines. Good grief, what a situation. I guess clean needles are there too. So much for using vending machines for chips, drinks, and sweets.

Seeing reports about finding Kratom at the scene. Such a shame that young people are reaching for this crap, especially when they have no idea what's really in it or what it can do to them.

And I hope and pray that you never have to experience the loss of a child.

More like China... China is intentionally killing young Americans

Life is so insanely beautiful. There is much to explore and read about and so much great music. History is seemingly endless and there is natural beauty in almost every inch of America to enjoy. So why in the world are our boys wanting to destroy their mental health and brains with drugs at all? There is plenty of joy and fun in being sober to actually experience everything. I can get behind drinking with friends, but these drugs are depressing to even think about. Teach your kids to be happy in the “mundane” and always be grateful for the little things in life. This is so sad. It’s a glimpse into the way our society is going. I can’t help but think the phones and social media-fication of everything is doing a ton of damage.

How does cychlorphine present? Is it in weed? Is it a pill? Other? So scary.

“alert your chapters “

The Eagle’s front page is OD death, Narcan vending machines, and the local weed farm.

Pathetic.

Prayers for families who join my family who 5 years ago KRATOM was the ROOT of my grown adult taking his life. MS LAWMAKERS NEED TO WAKE UP, your teenagers can buy KRATOM DOWN THE STREET from your house. Talking @ 15 yr olds. Parents please educate your kids tonight, they call these bath salts but they are STRAIGHT POISON!!!

No help from KRATOM, it kills, I know 1st hand! Not an opioid. EDUCATE

So we know for sure it was two boys?

In MS no problem buying at your gas station down street surrounded by all vapes. Poison! Ask any middle schooler they know what it is!

It is SOLD AS BATH SALTS!!!

Anonymous said...

Many overdoses are actually poisonings, where the dealer knowingly misrepresented to the victim what the drugs were, either because he wanted to kill them or because he didn't care whether they died or not. It's also often at least partially motivated by anti-white hatred. Don't do drugs, kids.

My first thought when I read the Jambalaya headline was this was something related to the weekend football hype, the game and three day drinker. Assuming nothing, now, was an attempt made by the university to shield this from public knowledge, until emails and Facebook posts started flying around?

Is a campus police department really charged with responsibility for student notifications, damage control and media interaction?

I have never understood druggies...In high school that crowd would smoke that dope all weekend while I was out hunting, fishing & drag racing...I'm 70 now & still at it! No drugs!

This is tragic. The parents and families must be shell shocked.
Recreational drug use is dangerous. Period. The numbers are huge. We have parents addicted to pain meds and/or using diet pills. We saw a so-called conservative legislature hell bent to legalize medical MJ with insufficient controls, and physicians willing to accommodate any disorder with a prescription. Children watch and believe it is safe to pop a pill for any reason at all.

It’s not kratom - yall can’t read

Anonymous said...

They need to get Kratom out of stores but I am sure that some new deadly drug will come along to take its place.

Anonymous said...

It doesn't appear that the cause of death is known (or at least disclosed). As to kratom, it should be illegal. It isn't, but it would unusual for retail products to have cychlorphine in them unless there was a specific intent to harm or someone really didn't know what the hell they were fooling with when they added it. Just because kratom was found does not mean it was involved in the deaths, just as the presence of beer, chips, and ramen wouldn't mean someone OD'ed on them (well, literally anyway). It won't do much good, but this is one of those situations in which everyone really should wait for some more information before popping off with SWAGs-as-facts commentary. About the only things that are certain is that the deaths of two young people is tragic and if someone sold them any type of dangerous substance, illegal or legal but altered or mislabeled, the seller ought to be charged with murder and punished accordingly.

Are there more than two deaths in that area, with possible ties to the kratom?

Lady Heroin??? WTF???

Anonymous said...

Damn people. At least Google “cychlorphine” before running off at the mouth.

Anonymous said...

I'm sure they call it 'Lady Heroin', too, Kingfish, but my Trainer (who went to Pearl High, so he'd know), years-back, told us it was called Gas Station Heroin.

Someone was describing a daughter of pre-Mary Madison (the town USED TO have a lot of really bad kids), whom everyone called 'Meth Mom', sitting in her driveway all night, multiple nights - engine running - headlights on. My Trainer chimed -in: "Oh, that's Gas Station Heroin. They do that ...just pass-out, all-night - in the driveway - in the ditch - in a parking lot..."

Anonymous said...

Right. The report said the cause was cychlorphine, which is not kratom.

JimAtTheRez said...

What a tragedy for these families. Does not matter where. Ole Miss, State, Texas. If this turns out to be cychlorphine, which is 10 times more powerful than fentanyl, then this is murder, just as the crap laced with fentanyl is murder. I know a lot of it comes thru Mexico and the Sinaloa cartel, but a lot of the raw product originates in China. Why we don't consider this war is understandable, but unforgivable.

Mr know it all, let’s assume you live in Eastover, go to your local gas station, doubt they sell to you, send in 15 yr old to purchase KRATOM. Might be extra price from the nice Indian running insense in store my have $10 extra fee from back. I lost my child to this gas station heroin. He was a grown fine reputuple man!

From what I hear, Ole Miss works with Oxford police in hopes of hiding drug activity.

That's just it....starting about 1990, kids were taught they don't have to be bored, feel awkward, or uncomfortable. The Mississippi Educational "system" literally has tapes about how to "get down on the child's level" even when they are pouting, sulking, tantruming, or being disrepectul for authority figures. So, they do not have the self-soothing skills previous generations wer EXPECTED to have.
The universe doesn't give a shit about your feelings, but too many parents use their kids to work out their own demons by being popular, and really setting no expectations for their children except: "Just be happy!"
Then.....Adulthood.

Anonymous said...

"The report said the cause was cychlorphine"

That is not correct or accurate. Of the three docs KF originally posted (in case this post is updated), no cause is stated. The email mentions it as "apparently" the cause but it isn't a "report" on cause of death. The other two are statements about the case, not "reports" or even statements on causation, and do not state any cause.

People making erroneous statements which others take as accurate and then repeat as "facts" are the cause of a lot of bad situations. The intent of the misstatements is not relevant to the inaccuracy. The currently topical Nolan Wells case is a particularly extreme example.

Cychlorphine kills like this. Kratom alone from a gas station does not. These kids met the same dealer who sold them some “really good shit” probably advertised as meth or a benzo. The ingredients for cychlorphine and how to make it are online for decades. This potent chemical is put into other pills and is not detectable by test strips or at a hospital. That fact alone should have every party boy rethinking pill usage. Narcan? Works if you get 6 shots while en route to the ER. If you are lucky enough to be in school and taking classes and dating hot people….drink a beer…..say no to pill pushers. It’s not worth it.

Anonymous said...

Unless you are combing a massive amount of 7OH or MGM with benzos, alcohol, coke or other drugs - Kratom itself ain't gonna kill you. These kids probably bought some Xanax off the street, Oxy or Molly - most of these are faked press pills full of crap like Fent and more.

Krusatyr said...

Kratom could be a cause/contributor or its presence symptomatic of a reckless attitude about getting stoned. In the late 60s-70s, some 18-24 year olds combined weed, drinking and cocaine or LSD regularly, to enhance how high they were. I avoided that culture but many were drawn to it inexplicably.

Gas station drugs are packaged to look like candy with names like Laffy Taffy. These gas station owners sell to anyone that has money regardless of age. A lot of forward thinking States have banned these drugs but, of course Mississippi has done nothing.

Remember a young girl I worked with in the 80’s telling about making crank with sulphuric stuff bought at feed stores. The LEO person put me on hold & called DEA agent who had not heard of this. DEA said to tell her that junk would blow up a building. Why would someone ingest this.

There is legislation introduced every session to ban kratom. It seems like such common sense, but it fails every time. Who is fighting to protect this stuff?

Ignore the tinfoil on my head and please read this and think about it: We are at war with China. Why fight us face to face and have your citizens die when you can manufacture and spread poison to our people?

Why these kids want to put this stuff in their system boggles my mind.

"Why fight us face to face and have your citizens die when you can manufacture and spread poison to our people?"

Alright, ignoring the tinfoil and asking everyone to read and think about this:
Much like COVID, using these kinds of drugs as a weapon of war against th US is like invading the US with rickety old single-shot .22s, going to homeless shelters, nursing homes, and ERs and shooting one out of every 8th or 10th person. It isn't harming the "best and brightest," "fittest and most able," working and productive citizens, etc. On top of that, it could be fairly easily contained and stopped without too much damage to the well-armed, able-bodied citizens and armed forces who would decimate an invasion force armed with nothing more than single-shot .22s. Also just like COVID, distributing these drugs puts them "in the wild" and humans, Chinese or US, being humans, it would be impossible for "the Chinese" to keep their own drug-using population from also being poisoned. As history is shown, prohibition of intoxicants (or what people think are merely intoxicants) is impossible, wherever the location or government currently in power.

That said, would it be fair to say that "the Chinese," as in the CCP and its members in power, have no real incentive to prevent the drugs from reaching the US and people here? Yes. Would it be fair to say that Chinese people making money from the drug trade in whatever role do not have any incentive to stop? Yes.

The Chinese government has no absolute duty to protect the citizens of the US from drugs while those citizens are in the US, just as the US government has no such duty to Chinese citizens in China. Sure, it would be within reason to argue that both governments have a humanitarian duty to prevent what is in their power to prevent that would proactively injure humanity, but if the Chinese government cannot eliminate drug abuse in China and the US government cannot eliminate it in the US, the Chinese government can hardly be held responsible for failing to stop it in the US.

I have friends who are functional alcoholics and I often feel sorry for them, that they feel life is so awful they must be in an altered state to enjoy it.
It no wonder so many kids feel the same way. It is of course a shame they choose an even more dangerous drug to get altered. But I do wish more people could find safer and healthier ways to be happy.

You are seriously blaming this on China?!? Have you ever even been to China? I doubt it.

There are numerous comments from people who openly confess they they have zero understanding of drug/alcohol problems.

So why do they then feel qualified to explain to the world what it's all about, then propose some intellectual fix for problems they admittedly do not understand?

Besides powder and tablets, reported street forms of cychlorphine include:LiquidsColorless liquids
Nasal-spray bottles
E-liquid / vape liquid (sometimes in a propylene glycol base)
Ready-to-inject solutions

BlottersPaper blotters (less common than powder or pills; reported in some European seizures)

Mixtures / adulterated products
This is one of the most common ways people actually encounter it. It is often mixed into:Fentanyl or other street opioids
Heroin
Cocaine
Methamphetamine
Benzodiazepines (including fake Xanax)
Xylazine or medetomidine
Other orphines (e.g. spirochlorphine) or nitazenes

Mis-sold productsCounterfeit prescription pills (OxyContin, Percocet, Dilaudid/hydromorphone, Xanax, etc.)
Occasionally other unexpected products (one report involved a “Lion’s Mane” traditional medicine potion)

Labeled research-chemical style packagingSmall bags marked something like “CYCHLORPHINE HCL” or “C”, sometimes with “not for human consumption”

Most people who take it do not buy it as “cychlorphine.” They buy what they think is fentanyl, a pain pill, Xanax, coke, or meth, and the cychlorphine is already in it.

Powder, tablet, blotter, mixed with other drugs. Not a bath salt

9:08, Mississippi's "leaders" are FOR SALE. I guess the inaction in favor of Kratom, tells us who some of the buyers (of the "leaders") are.

There would be the manufacturers/distributors of the product, and there would be the store owners (described, in another thread, as being some sort of monolithic "cartel", now - which would streamline the bribing process). And maybe, there would be actual cartels, who'd view Kratom as a 'Gateway Drug' - getting users ready for cartels' own illegal products (and for sidelines, such as prostitution, etc.)

Then, there would be hostile foreign nations, eager to weaken our own nation. Alternately, there would be the "global" entities, with the same goal.

But back to the STORE OWNERS. Most of those, are DEPORTABLE. Why aren't our nation's various three-letter agencies investigating and deporting the criminals running the stores?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
