Heroin Memes

The seagull meme perfectly captures the escalating potency of opioids. Morphine and codeine? Just regular squawking birds. Heroin? Now we're getting a bit unhinged. But fentanyl? That's when everything goes nuclear red and you're basically a blurry ghost-bird. This meme is pharmacology in a nutshell - each step up the opioid ladder is roughly 5-10 times more potent than the last, until you hit fentanyl which is like bringing a nuclear warhead to a water balloon fight. And yes, that's why medical professionals get nervous twitches whenever patients casually ask "can I get something stronger for the pain?"
