Life Jackets on, here comes the waves.....

The below statement taken from Billboard doesn't make sense to me? So many contradicting news stories, my head is spinning, so confused I don't know what to believe anymore. eek eek

Tests on Prince prior to his death did not show fentanyl in his system, which means he wasn't a long-time abuser of that drug, but likely took the fatal dose sometime in the 24 hours before he died, the official said.

It happens.

Tim Buckley, Jeff's father, OD'ed on heroin persuaded he was snoring cocaine.

Poor ol' SKipper died from taking poison disguised as medication.

Same shit. Still, I prefer this to the possiblity of Prince being a long-time addict to opiaces.
I prefer to believe he was simply fooled by the irresponsible anonymous killers responsible for the counterfeit.
Because it makes sense, and also because The Guardian is one of the last newspapers worth believing.

How long does Narcan™ (naloxone) take to wear off?
Narcan™ (naloxone) starts to wear off after about 30 minutes and is mostly gone after about 90 minutes. By this time the body has processed enough of the opioids that the overdosing person is unlikely to stop breathing again. In some cases, such as after taking a massive dose or using long-acting opioids like methadone, the patient might need another Narcan™ (naloxone) dose and longer medical observation. Always watch the person after they receive a Narcan™ (naloxone) dose for signs of continued overdose.


It does not clean the opioid out of your system, it just blocks it enough to keep you breathing until your own body processes it enough to where it won't make you stop breathing. The opiate will still show up in various body tissues and fluids.
