news.ycombinator.com Posted On 2025-12-11 17:19:27

The Fourth Wave: How Speedballing Is Creating a New Kind of Drug Crisis

The practice stems from the early 1900s, when World War I soldiers were often treated with a combination of cocaine and morphine. Once associated with high-profile figures like John Belushi, River Phoenix and Chris Farley, this dangerous polysubstance use has become a leading cause of overdose death
