People, that shit is dangerous as hell. Stay away from it unless you're in a hospital and somebody who is thinking clearly is administering it with great care. Or it's in a patch prescribed by a doctor and you're using it very carefully and making sure the old patch is off before you even unwrap the new one to put on. Dosages are tiny, in micrograms, and it's very easy to overshootunless you're not very, very careful.

Stuff always scared the hell out of me in the hospital. It's even scarier to think of it in street drugs.
