M30’s

What are M30 Pills?

M30 pills, called the blues drug for their distinct blue color, are counterfeit drugs often sold on the streets for recreational use. Many drug dealers will say that these little blue pills with the label M30 pressed into them are prescription opioids like oxycodone or Percocet, tricking people into thinking they’re safe and legally produced.

However, they often contain much stronger opioids like fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and can easily lead to overdose.

Adding fentanyl to drugs is a common practice in illegally produced substances. Since it has such strong effects, drug dealers only need to add a little bit to their products to produce a strong high when people take them. Since they need to add less to achieve the desired result, it helps them profit more from drug sales.

That said, the DEA states that about 2mg of fentanyl is a potentially lethal dose. 2mg of fentanyl would look like a very small clump of powder that could sit on the tip of a pencil. When drugs are produced illegally and not always measured and mixed correctly, the danger of overdose becomes much more common.

What Happens When Someone Takes M30 Pills?

When someone takes the blues drug, it’ll cause a large release of dopamine in the brain (a feel-good hormone) that can make someone feel happier or at ease.

While they have these initial pleasurable effects, opioids are a depressant. Therefore, they’ll eventually slow down the central nervous system, leading to sedative effects that reduce thought processing, coordination, and decision-making abilities. This can often lead to more irrational or risk-taking behavior and makes it dangerous to do things like driving.

The Effects of Addiction to M30 Pills and Prescription Opioids

Since M30 pills are often much stronger than real prescription opioids, it makes it more likely that someone can become addicted to them. They can lead to a physical and psychological dependence that results in strong withdrawal symptoms and can make someone feel like they can’t stop taking them or can’t function normally without the drug.

Many people also start taking M30 pills after becoming addicted to prescription opioids like oxycodone or Percocet. When someone’s misusing or abusing prescription opioids for a long time, they’ll eventually run out of ways to get the drugs legally. Therefore, they’ll often opt to buy them from dealers on the street, which can lead to buying fake pills like the blues drug.
