Fentanyl is really good as a painkiller and you don’t need a lot of it. I’ve had morphine and fentanyl for various (legal) means to do with surgeries etc and they both have their place. Fentanyl is just a derivative of morphine by the way, same chemical class of compounds.

I understand, I've had pethidine, morphine and fentanyl , sometimes two together, back home for injuries/surgeries, fentanyl is usually only used for the most extreme cases. Most injuries/surgeries don't require the use of fentanyl. In canada most people I talk to have had fentanyl for very minor surgeries or accidents etc where as back home most people had never heard of fentanyl.
Fentanyl can be used for ongoing pain too....that’s what fentanyl patches are used for and those aren’t used in a hospital setting. When I had it it was for realigning a bone while I was conscious. Had it in conjunction with medazolam and while a very brawny doc was pulling on my foot trying to get my ankle bones in the right place I was telling jokes and laughing apparently.

Fentanyl plus medazolam is the standard protocol for anal probing as well. Basically conscious sedation that wears off quickly.

Not good. I heard on the news that there have been discussions about possibly using hospitals close to the border on the us side in NY and Michigan along with out of province ones.
Registered with a pharmacy for a shot today. No vaccines available.
I was definitely in a hospital not a mothership and my doc was Asian and not green in colour.
I was referring to colonoscopies not aliens but it would be nice if the aliens cared about how we felt while being probed.
DO YOU HAVE PROOF THEY DON’T and I don’t mean a Twitter article #alienshaveempathy
I registered on Tuesday morning and was already on a wait list.
Most times smoke is due to inadequate air flow

I have a Biolite fire pit as well.
Hardwood is going to be your friend for less smoke, but on the biolite, crank up the fan speed and pretty much any wood will be mostly smoke free if you’ve got flames. If even on high you still have smoke you may have too much wood in it (if it’s above the 2 top air tubes) or the air might not be flowing correctly - I’ve heard sometimes the tubes aren’t mounted correctly from the factory.
Smoke flavour will be minimal at the temperatures generated in one of those however - to get maximum flavour you really need a low-and-slow scenario that’s going to be difficult with a fire pit, more suited to a smoker. But try chacoal instead with some damp oak chips (bbq places and I think even Canadian tire now has small bags of smoker chips) sparingly tossed onto the coals occasionally - let the charcoal burn down first, put the fan on dead low, and then cook whatever you’re cooking as slow as possible. You never want thick white smoke, that’ll instill an acrid taste in what you’re cooking - thin blue smoke is the goal.
@jc100 , make friends with a wood worker in you area and get offcuts of maple/oak/ash or other domestic hardwood for backyard fun, its often the bark on twigs and sticks producing the worst smoke and smell . Nice clean hardwood bits split up into nice sizes.
Its what I use to power my pizza oven , no complaints from nieghbors about smoke .

Yep. There's a cabinetry place about 20 minutes from my house that used to have gobs of offcuts and such they put out in huge bins for anyone to take. For a few years I was able to grab nearly endless supplies of kiln dried oak. Then word got out. Now it's picked clean constantly. I suspect they may have actually started selling it instead of giving it away now - the oak is primo smoking wood, and smoking has really increased in popularity in the last 10 years.
There was a place in Lakefield that builds docks that used to do the same with cedar. TONS of it if you hit your timing right. I used to scoop it for campfires while camping - nothing beats the smell of a cedar campfire.
Canada threatened to do this with Bayer's Cipro during the SARS crisis. It made Bayer suddenly discover more of the drug at a more reasonable price.
