The Gaza government media office on Friday condemned the discovery of oxycodone pills reportedly discovered in flour bags distributed by “American-Israeli” aid centres.
“We have so far documented four testimonies from citizens who found these pills inside the flour bags,” it said in a statement, warning of the “possibility that some of these narcotic substances were deliberately ground or dissolved in the flour itself”.
Oxycodone is an opioid meant to treat severe and long-term pain, often prescribed to cancer patients.
The drug is highly addictive and can have life-threatening effects, including breathing complications and hallucinations.
The media office’s statement comes after several social media posts shared images of pills purportedly discovered in flour bags in Gaza.
Assuming they made it into food, would it be potent at all after being baked at 325 for 30 minutes?
Yup. Lots of addicts “smoke” the pills by heating them on foil and inhaling the vapor
Once it burns off it’s not really effective though. This seems like smuggling that got caught up in humanitarian aid.
Attempted smuggling makes sense. Putting oxy in the flour is really ineffective as a weapon.
So then they would vaporize in the oven?
No.
Butane is somewhere near 3000F, but fry bread happens at like 375F. The dope is going to survive.
e: I mean, it’s a really shitty and ineffective way to get high but if there’s oxy in the flour there’s going to be oxy in the bread.
