W-18 Addiction Treatment
W-18 is the new drug to hit the United States, and it is 10,000 times more powerful than Morphine. This drug is believed to be made in China before being sold to online retailers and distributors. When W-18 hits the streets, we will see a huge spike in overdoses and deaths, according to the Sacramento-based Chemist Brian Escamilla. Originally thought to be a problem only in Canada, the recent recovery of 2.5 pounds of the drug in Broward County, Florida, tells us that the opioid problem is much worse than previously detected.
This drug is a killer and is being used as an additive to low-quality
Heroin to make it stronger. W-18 is normally found in powder form and has been made into pill form. In West Palm Beach alone, there have been over 11 deaths already this year from Heroin overdoses.

W-18 is not, as of yet, detectable to any known drug test on the market, so the amount and frequency of the drug in the heroin supply is still indeterminant until test kits are distributed to law enforcement agencies around the country.
With the recent discovery of Elephant tranquilizers cut into heroin in Ohio, this trend seems to be growing, not shrinking its severity.
W-18: Where Did It Come From?
W-18 was first developed in laboratories at the University of Alberta over 30 years ago. W-18 was originally designed to be an
opioid substitute with less addictive properties than the current painkillers on the market. The drug was filed and issued a patent in 1984, but due to its extreme potency, it was shelved and denied production by all the pharmaceutical companies.
When chemists in China found the formula, they quickly turned the drug into a cheap and not yet illegal illicit drug. The first sign of the resurgence of the drug was in 2015 when police seized 110 pills in a drug raid, which tested positive for the W-18 substance.
Recent reports are coming in that the W-18 drug has been found in heroin and cocaine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is bad news for the state, as it has had a really hard time with
Fentanyl-laced heroin for the last 10 years. W-18 will start to cause real damage as it gets put into the mainstream drug supply.
The problem is that we are not looking for drug W-18. There have been many underground reports of the drug being used and distributed through mainstream drug trafficking cartels due to the cheap price tag of the drug W-18. We here at Addiction No More are worried that this drug may have found its way into the hands of heroin dealers here in the United States, as well. With the recent drastic increase of reported heroin overdoses mainly attributed to the drug Fentanyl, we wonder how much of the heroin is actually being cut with W-18 and not detected by conventional testing practices.
W-18 is the new drug to hit the United States, and it is 10,000 times more powerful than Morphine.
What are the long-lasting effects of W-18?
No significant research has been done on W-18 since the early ’80s. Right now, it is unsure what the drug will do to humans because chemists do not know what its potential side effects might be. The drug was never tested on humans, and its effects are completely unknown. There is no research on what scepters are affected by the drug or anything about its acute effects.
