Another point… I read recently that 28 percent of the time that people ABUSE Propofol/Diprivan the people DIE. As someone who administers this drug in ICU to sedate patients who are on ventilator support… the use of this drug “recreationally” would truly be RUSSIAN ROULETTE!
Diprivan knocks out your respiratory drive. Not intubated and on a ventilator… You ARE A GONER!

FYI… You DO NOT “Shoot up” Propofol/Diprivan. It is a short acting drug that must be administered as a CONTINUOUS IV DRIP. It will STOP your breathing due to CNS Depression. Used in OR/ER and surgery centers for brief periods of light anesthesia where only a brief period of anesthesia is required. It is also used as continuous sedation for patients on Ventilator Support in Intensive Care Settings. MJ DID NOT GIVE THIS TO HIMSELF! Someone had to give it to him. J R MS/ARNP Acute Care
