My dad died November 14,2023 from what we believe was an overdose of fentanyl. I’m so torn up about it😢. Rest in Peace Jeffrey L. Dunnigan.
Rip keep your head up🫂
I’m sorry for you loss
Praying for you ❤
Mine passed November 5th to fentanyl. Sorry for your loss
@@mleezy930 everything will get better hun.
A while back, On a busy dinner shift, I was sharing a big party with a co worker. I noticed he was gone for a long time. So I started asking the staff if they had seen him. We all knew he was somewhat addicted to opioids, but we didn’t think he would get high at work. 10 minutes After asking around, we noticed the bathroom door was locked, but no one would answer. The door could only be locked from the inside. One of the staff members took a power tool, and cut through the lock, and there he was. On the floor. Face looked like it was starting to look blue. I’ve never seen this in my life, so I don’t know what to do except to call his name, and remind him to breathe. We got him out of the bathroom, and carefully held his head so his neck wouldn’t break. Soon enough the paramedics got there, and confirmed that he was having an overdose. As they were bringing him out with a sheet through a small stair space by the kitchen I saw the paramedics use narcan on him, and he immediately woke up. As if he was stuck in time. Luckily for him ge survived that night, but got fired. Months passed by and l get a phone call from a random number. I never pick those calls up, but for some reason I can’t explain. I picked it up. And it was him. Thanking me for helping out. It was truly heartbreaking. He said he was gonna try to get Better. Recently I heard he overdosed again. Not sure if that true or not, but that’s a damn shame.
I struggle w opioid addiction. A lot of good people get lost this way. We all know not to do it but for whatever reason, life breaks people down, they get badly influenced, or a myriad of other reasons. Thank you for your story I'm sorry you had to see this. My mother has brought me back too many times.
@@pamt9543also struggling with opioids I hope that you get your battle won I'll pray for you
Thank you for giving a clear, scientific explanation that is not overly complex, but that does not resort to shaming, or fried egg false analogy.
Report the scam bot wherever you see it.
@Saew-ks2ryyep propaganda
Maybe he's trying to tell you you are more of a meal when you're on drugs if you think about it 🤔
Lies again? Fly Emirates Blu Store
The problem is, it is complicated. This is not just some drug. Technology, medical advancements, and the joint "coming together" of the fbi and cartels, means this is a weapon, not a drug
I was given this for severe pain after spine surgery I must say I now understand why its addictive
It was prescribed to me too after surgery but I didn’t like it at all. It wasn’t enjoyable to me, it did lessen the pain BUT the side effects were awful for me
@@notgreatnotterrible48years63which was?
@@jayproductions2759bro i just was a maniac
My little sister died a year ago today from fentyal. 29 years old and so beautiful but broken. I love you Sam
I'm so sorry for your loss. Lost my cousin last night to fentanyl. She was 36.
I'm so sorry 😔 The medical examiner called me this last Friday to inform me that my younger brother just died from this February 27,2023.I'm now the only one left and pray he found GOD 🙏❣️😔 Horrible drug... He was 56 and all alone
#fentfriday
My little sister is on the verge which is what brought me here
I am truly sorry to learn that.
all that commercial ever did was put me in the mood for fried eggs every morning.
That's my favorite commercial. Drugs fry your brain causing brain damage. That's why I never do drugs. Doctors pills make me nauseous so forget that too.
My friend is currently on life support from this drug. I love her so much and i pray she has a peaceful transition to heaven. Thanks for explaining to me how this affects the human body.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Prayers for her 🙏
Did she make it?

My friend just died because of this. He was such a gentle soul, I’m broken
A friend of mine was being unknowingly dosed by his vape shop (yes, I know) with fentanyl and didn't find out until the cops busted his usual store. It was really messing him up, and none of us knew what was up. It's scary to know that he could've died.
How we're they putting it in the liquid?
@@jusrayneits not a liquid 😭 it’s a wax
@@ar444.heartss I date guy smoke vape it's not a wax it's liquid you can shake it's like water material wax is thick
@@jusrayne boi b fr. i smoke & nb is putting fentanyl in vapes 😭 vapes are nicotine. theyre probably talking about pens when they say vapes and wax is in the carts, not liquid.
News link or it didn't happen
Great job explaining how fenty kills in a very clear, precise way. In under two minutes no less.
A documentary to see more of that issue through the story of Bre: th-cam.com/video/LX3BBbBfMco/w-d-xo.html
There is nothing recreational about these drugs.
I'm actually smoking fentanyl to understand why people get addicted and the downsides of it, I've done it before and the euphoria is definitely one key short term benefit, however the come downs suck. I would much rather smoke marijuana than do opiates, unless I was in major pain and it was prescribed by a doctor.
@@creme923 Okay, just don’t get addicted.
@@greensphinx I did. But im okay now.
@@creme923 wow anything you took away from it
heroin and fentanyl absolutely have recreational value. stop spreading misinformation.
wow this is crazy and so sad thank you for explaining it clearer.
Thank you for some straight answers. CBC!
My nephew died 2 weeks ago from this drug. He was 18. Very hard for the family and his friends. If you’re reading this and feeling lonely and with no hope, there’s always a way. I’m glad he met Jesus before leaving and his past months were a little different than before.
i came back from one of those my homie rushed me to the hospital and saved my life. been clean eversince. 🙏
Lucky. My sister in law just died from fentanal. She thought she was buying a Roxy. But it wasn't....sadly my nephew doesn't have a mom anymore. So sad
@@melissaa3654 so sorry for your loss.
@@melissaa3654 this is why we should legalize oxycodone for recreational use. there would be no fentanyl pill black market if oxy was legal 😐
@@melissaa3654 I hear you. Lost my cousin last night to fentanyl.
@@based_mediumchungus1788 No. Opiates are dangerous at all levels and cause massive damage to the body. There's a reason certain drugs need to stay illegal.

#fentfriday
Straight and to the point. Thanks I understand
Thanks for sharing this information
My brother died 2 years ago from this drug. He was found on the side of the street.
So sorry man. My cousin was just found in her bathroom last night from a Fentanyl overdose. Horrible situation.
THANK YOU for this!
I just got word this morning that my friend passed away from this...He was a childhood friend, gone now
It didn't make me feel any happier when I was given it for the first time last week. Maybe my dose was too low to feel euphoria but I must say its damn good at killing pain which I was incredibly grateful for.
It will affect you diff the more you take it. When you take it enough days in a row your body willnstop making the chemicals it gets from the drug & you will go in to withdrawl with in 12 or 24 hrs. U will deff start to feel happy whwn u take it then.
Do t let ot get to that point being addicted is the worst
Same thing when I took it after a surgery. It was the only thing that could even take the edge off the pain, and apparently I was on a high dose, according to the nurse. But I felt no euphoria - in fact I didn't feel like I was on anything, really, and I was still in pain, just not the blinding pain I *had* been in. My doc said later that I didn't feel euphoric because the fentanyl was acting on a brain in pain, so it did what it was supposed to - relieved intense pain. But when there is no pain to relieve, that's when it overwhelms the brain and the user will feel euphoric. Makes sense to me.
Hamster Munchies y it killed mac miller
Smoke it
RiP Mac Miller 🙏🏽🕊
I like this video. I actually used it as a reference for one of my class presentations!
I have been been on fentanyl patches for 13 years prescribed by my doctor after two failed spinal surgeries because of chronic severe disabling pain and now that i want off it, it has become a nightmare just titration down from 100mcg patch to 75mcg the withdrawals are horrendous I curse the day I was put on the medication 😢😢
God bless you
I hope you are doing well... God be with you
@@sena6492 Thanks for asking mate doing well actually been off fentanyl since July 2022 thankfully I managed to get out without it snowballing into street drugs. Thankfully my doctor was my treating physician since my injury and provided the medication had he cut me off randomly like happens to some I'd have ended up on heroin thank God that didn't transpire. Thanks for the concern 8tz really appreciated.God bless you too 🙏 😊
@@thetruthchannel4634 God bless you too mate. Thanks bud been clean off fentanyl since July 2022
What was detox like?
Why would one want to take fentanyl if they have no pain? Makes no sense
As the video mentioned: because of the dopamine release, it creates a very rewarding side effect of feeling euphoric.
A+ TERRIFIC 💯👍
A CLEAR, A TO THE POINT EXPLANATION, A SHORT & PRECISE VIDEO.

It's like anesthesia if you take too much... Shuts down the nervous system.

Bravo grt explanation
Rip lil peep and mac miller
Rip juice
Thank you for the video. I would love to share this on my instagram page with your approval
I got IV fentanyl during surgery and didn’t feel any of the high. They said it has a very short half-life of 45 min and I was asleep for all of it.
Man, I love/hate fent. Blissful high, but goddamn the withdrawals are literally hell.
Thanks to the name above ⬆️ ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ I got mine from them they are legit
All part of the grand design. Soft purge and raking in massive profits at the same time.
Sounds exactly like I can't breathe
Actually, the frying egg 🥚 analogy is very good. That's how my brain feels on any opioid. Or maybe, acid bubbling on my brain.
Remember to report the scam bots
All opiates work this way. Not just fentanyl
I was on fentanyl for yrs in a pain pump and didnt have all these side effects like its said to have
i feel like i took fen and my breathing is slower just by watching this 💀
Thanks
Ive bin clean from opiates & Fentanyl for 2 yrs hardest thing I ever did. I had a bag of fent & woyld hit it all day its a yellow powder.
Why does fentanyl makes people get that body positions?
What neurological path atacks? Or what would be the explanation
Rip my Dad
If governments hadn't had the hubris to feel they had the authority to tell citizens in a free society that recreational drugs were forbidden, there could be a whole range of safe recreational drugs available. But, no, governments have felt they do have such authority and, as a result, dangerous recreational drugs become available on the black market.
You are an imbecile.
@@msdaisy6949 and you're just ignorant
Try living off all forms of drugs. Even alcohol is a drug. Weed is the only safe bet. However being high in life without drugs is the best.
does it hurt
RIP Mac Miller and my other two friends who died of this…
How do I make it
ধন্যবাদ...
thanks
I wonder if CBD oil could curtail the pain in those using opioids🤔 or if it helps, on it's own or in combination with something else. I hear it helps ppl with MS too
TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! I couldn't make out what the person was saying.
So it metaphorically fries your brain
Dang... poor George.
Ive only tried it a few times, i just want to know if it damages my brain somehow. Because ik a person surviving a car crash will be on some form of painkillers, but does Fet damage yur brain with just few uses?
My husband had knee surgery and for pain management the doctors prescribed Fentanyl! I fought with them for alternate medication that are not opioids!
Just when taken too much dosage hence the bad effects
@@luizmac1484 but when there are alternatives medications which are not opioids why do doctors prescribe them in the first place? Even if it’s okay to take within prescribed limits there are withdrawal symptoms! My husband could manage his pain very well with the alternate medicines and nerve stimulation through electro therapy
Lost a close friend recently.
Can micro dosing be used for chronic pain? it sounds perfect if not abused.
Rip peep
Been on it for a while when I don’t have it my back is litteraly bent over not cause I want too cause it feels good why does that happen !?
This is your brain 🥚 this is your brain on drugs 🍳
So is it fast? My uncle died from getting weed that was laced with fent & I'm just trying to find any info that will tell me if he at least went quickly. He was 50. SIP SNH.
They say they go fast
so sorry for your loss🙏🏼 tbh he probably felt like he was in heaven before he left the earth. he went easily.
@@asxpjoseph Thanks. 🙂
Cap . I be chillin high af
So...does it feel good?
Now there's Tranq out there too.
Also I read there's a newer drug out that's stronger than fentanyl. Very fuct.
Woke up and the paramedics were outside my car doing Cpr on my dad, went on for an hour before they pronounced him dead.
The problems is, many people take it accidentally
1:32 so basically, the egg in the burning in the frying pan is a analog
Lost my son to fentanyl poisoning June 28th

This is your brain on Season 5
All the background noise is way too distracting!

Turn down the music! Can barely hear anyone talking.
You could have told us what the anti-dote to a fentanyl overdose is. How to reset the breathing again.
Naloxone can reverse the harmful effects of Fentanyl addiction
I really hope that the government could give everyone some Naloxone, or make it a standard in First aid kit just in case if people try to poison other with Fentanyl by putting it into their food
I wish John Roselius, a.k.a the "This is your brain on drugs" guy was here to talk about this crisis

Don't know why people are not thrilled by normal life, how beautiful the mother nature, how beautiful the dawn and dusks are, nothing in this world can bring happiness if you are not able to thrill abt the fact that you are alive in a healthy body
Who didn't know that tho?
How can you get everybody hooked to opiates then ban it

It's making people into hastags
Ik ppl that smoke pills and they look the same and do got problems tho I think it just how you take it and control there addiction like frfr. But I’m trying to stop I had a homie overdose on me and it was very hard and sad and do to losing my family I been thru a lot and I just know I mess up by taking this pills it just sad but I just gotta stay strong ❤😇👼 LLD#
Simple as that.
So I can take it just got to set a reminder on my phone to breath?
whats messed up is getting prescribed these drugs then cutting the prescription out of the patient’s meds. Wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t prescribe it in the first place
don't just steel Gramp's fentanyl; also grab his bottle of oxygen. Lets be safe out there.
dog bounty you have a delightfully sick sense of humor.
Waheeeey
Lmao
the problem for me is those who recklessly want to use this drug, are themselves causing innocent people to become exposed, like law enforement, kids etc, and creating a market drug sellers to spring up in places around people or kids that can cause mass exposure and multiple deaths, like the story with a childcare center that was exposed to fetanyl.
So that "little bit" they show is carfentenal not fentenal. The carfentenal is 10,000 times more powerful than morphine or heroine. One or the other.
Does weed do the same thing to the brain stem slowing down breathing ??
If it's laced
no
Weed expands bronchial passageways why atheletes use it.
Fentanyl comes from pharmaceuticals. Who do you blame for drug pushers!!
I was prescribed fentanyl for my tooth ache, but I hear people that abuse it
One hell of a tooth ache!
I blame the government for not legalizing it for recreational use.
there would be no counterfeit oxy pills with lethal doses of fentanyl if oxy was legal for recreational use.
