#Overdosed #FentanylCrisis #Tampa
Fentanyl snuffed out my firstborn daughter on June 15, 2022 . She had a thing for those pain pills. Little did she know that she bought some that were laced with fentanyl.
What angers me is that just in April we were talking about this and I was explaining to her that while I can't stop her from getting high, she promised me to get some narcan cuz we had heard about people that she knew having overdosed off of other drugs that was laced with fentanyl.
The grief and anger continues
My heart goes out to her family💔
My brother died from an overdose. 6 months later my nephew died from overdose. Such a sad reality.
About 100,000 people in the US die of overdoses each year.
I’m so sorry for your loss & I send my deepest condolences to you & your family ❤️🩹🙏🏽
@@AlexusMusic Thank you ☺️
It's sad. It's scary asf. At this point I'm not eating ppl food. Nope nope nope.
Only in America.
It's quite obvious we can't stop the supply so we've got to focus on stopping the demand.
100% but the elite are making too much money off of this chaos.
And how do we do that? (asking genuinely).
Thanks. That's a legitimate question. I suspect that one of the primary reasons young people are using narcotics and other drugs is because they know, with absolute certainty, that there is no future. Low paying jobs, a polluted planet, war and violence, working two crappy jobs just to pay the bills. I can't even imagine what being young today is like. Ennui is the problem.
@@Sternodox I think a lot of it has to do with prescribed opioids and our lack of understanding how addiction manifests in different types of people. From what my wife noticed when she was a prescriber at a pain clinic a couple of years ago, the vast majority of people who use pain pills for medical reasons do NOT become addicted, BUT most heroin addicts started via prescribed pain pills; that can't be ignored by Big Pharma anymore. And it speaks to your point of those who are struggling with various issues like anxiety etc. where this little pill just wraps you in a warm hug and makes you feel so content, all the while it's really your worst enemy. And it's not just a socioeconomic issue, a family friend of ours, who was in his 60's, very wealthy, and was even a State governor in the 1990's died of an overdose earlier this year.
@@bjkarana I'm very sorry about your friend. Of course addicts exist in all age groups. It's now the leading cause of death amongst 18-35 year olds. Sadly, when politicians and corporations have a choice between profits and doing the humane and ethical thing, most will always choose the former.
As long as there is demand there WILL be a supply, and there will ALWAYS be demand
legalize and tax less harmful drugs.
Stopping the supply does not stop the problem, Katie’s Mom. Stopping the supply leaves addicts without their drug of choice and they will turn to other substances (alcohol, other legal drugs, etc.) to get that same feeling/fix. You only stop the problem when you TREAT the problem effectively.
I understand the hurt and pain of the families. My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected. While the dealers and suppliers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However we need to realize the people buying these drugs KNOW the risk! They are making a choice to take that risk.
Even if your buying something like an Adderall. You know there is a chance it may not be what you think it is. But yet they take the risk.
Addiction is a mental and physical sickness. The war on drugs has only made the issues worse. Instead of fighting the dealers and suppliers, let’s take away their business. We need state issued drugs made by professionals. Open addiction disorder facilities where people can go for drugs taken in a safe place under the supervision medical professionals. All the while helping the people to get off of it and to get their lives back.
How do we pay for this? All the billions poured into the war on drugs would more than cover the cost.
And the dealers and suppliers would take HUGE hits to their wallets. If even 50% of their customers started going to these addiction facilities instead of buying off the street it would put a massive dent into the dealers and suppliers AND would go along way into stoping people from entering into that as a way of making money
Good luck with that. I had taken that idea to a senator years ago......
There is/ was a drug ( Talwin I think )
that was exactly the same as Morphine but minus the addictiveness.........WHERE did THAT drug go ?????? Makes me wonder🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@1badjane493 oh I know it won’t happen but it should. Too many politicians and other corrupt officials are making too much money as it is. They have no incentive to make things better
Can someone speak the truth please, because there many many worst nations than the USA with alot more poverty hopelessness violence with people consuming other drugs depression mental health etc etc etc bu only in the USA you have this problem with fentynel at this level WHY can some one be honest....
THIS !!! I’ve seen a suggestion like this 5x in the last 2 years & it catches my attention EVERY TIME ! I’m a recovering fentanyl addict myself & although I’m more than VERY grateful to still have my life, people don’t understand the HALF of what it’s like to be the victim of addiction ! It’s NOT a choice, it’s a illness. Your suggestion would save soooo many lives & would absolutely have a better success rate than rehabilitation programs that send them right back on the streets after 30-90 days of being sober.
I totally 100 percent agree
0:15 "Stop the supply stop the problem" - don't fool yourself. Focusing on supply has a single purpose: don't look inward, don't ask questions like why do we have millions of addicts? Ignoring the demand side = not really trying
To the Parent of Katie . I am so sorry you’re daughter passed away. My she Rest In Peace. 🙏🏼 I know what you’re feeling because my son passed away from this drug overdose. 2018. My heart is broken forever so I understand the pain. I keep praying for justice to come. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry for your loss. ❤️💔
Your not you're.
The problem is people are thinking they are taking they buy one thing but getting another laced that can kill when the normal 1 pill cannot.
No surprise. Tampa Bay area is a stress pit. Most people seem quite unhappy. I have no idea how anyone other than the rich can thrive. Even they don;t in many cases. Just the manner in which people drive, it is madness, and unlike anything I have ever seen.
Look up Kensington ,in Pennsylvania there's a park the city called needle Park.
I know I watch this aml and it’s interviews of people in Kensington doing drugs
I no i got the feed its crazy😲
THATS PHILLIDEPHIA
This is stupid. Everyone knows fentanyl isn't real.
Drugs like cancer is big business!!
You got that right. Ever wonder why it's so difficult to get suboxon? Go ahead and call your own doctor and ask him to write you a prescription for suboxon. See what he says? It's a simple question.
Lady you forgot to say Prince thought he was taking Vicodin you flat out lied when you said he was taking fentynal. He thought he was taking Vicodin a mild pain releiver
No. He knew
Nobody knows...but if I had to guess he knew
First, officials and media are usually running a couple years behind on a topic like this... by the time it catches someone's eye and it dawns on them something needs done, the problem has already rooted itself into society and matured... so they gotta play catch-up before actually tackling the problem. And as far as arresting the dealers, ok. Great idea. But just remember, when you take one off the street, three more are ready to replace the one. they don’t miss a beat. And sometimes I believe the dealers aren’t arrested because law enforcement believes they’re doing a favor to society when a user dies because they (users) are oftentimes criminals trying to support their habit. It’s a vicious cycle with no end in sight.
This isnt a "crisis"... Its all out assault... ! ! !
unfortunately in Canada it's the opposite..the police no longer care about dealers cuz the judges let them off and they're on the street again within 12 hours.
Same in the states!!! They let the cold blood killers right back out here as well. They are all the devils and his followers.
I know it's disgusting and disturbing
Terrible😳
This was interesting until they pulled the dang race card. Over it.
And this is why we need proper history teachers
@@impishnoire6682 agreed
Maybe 🤔 just maybe don’t do drugs ?…
If you are crazy enough to take street drugs,you pay your money and take your chances of getting high or getting dead. When you gamble,remember,the house ( dealer ) as ways wins.
EXACTLY. I totally agree. If you are willing to purchase drugs from any joe blow on the street -- something extremely dangerous and without any sort of quality control -- then you have to accept that you are suicidal and probably will die.
What you never experimented when you were young. Your an ignorant person please hope and pray your kids or family/ friends never become one of those crazy people. ABIGAIL FOREVER 19.
I was engaged to a lady with a drinking problem she fell and had a small break in her shoulder she was given methodone she was told to stop using it by her doctor. She od refusing to go to the hospital. Are all the drugs dangerous?
Making the testing strips illegal would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. A completely moronic piece of legislating that demonstrates an utter absence of understanding of the problem….for idiocy it’s up there with making needle exchanges against the law or legislating against the distribution of condoms.
This is what happens when you stop pain doctors way and the big pharmacy is so high 50 Cents to make it 18 dallors for you
When it comes to the opioid crises we as a nation just keep making one mistake after another...it would be comical if it wasn't so deadly serious
I think they have not just an understanding of the problem, but that they don't view it as a problem since "they" are the ones promoting and financing it. They aren't the ones losing family and friends. We are. It's only a problem for those of us who don't support it.
This is stupid. Everyone knows fentanyl isn't real.
I've used fentanyl for a month but I was aware of it because it was pharmaceutical grade fentanyl so I knew to only use mcg not mg of it and I actually felt good my pain went away instantly and my whole body felt relax. I never did it again because I saw what it was doing to those on the streets I just was lucky to come across legal pharmaceutical fentanyl which was prescribed.
your story is very rare. congrats on that. coulda ruined or ended ur life
The biggest cause if this epidemic is the legal pharmaceutical companies
The fent that's on the streets is totally different than what's prescribed.
Just leave the stuff alone, Kelly. None of it is any good. Good luck, Irish !!!!!
@@scottbaker4314 Leave that crap alone. Prescribed or street it all causes social problems.
Great work. Love channel 10❤
PLEASE also tell people when you talk about fentanyl test strips that although they do test for fentanyl, they do not test for ALL of the analogues of fentanyl. Also people need to know that if they are going to use to test more than one "area" of their substances, start slow and lower your normal dose. You can always do more, you can't do less. And please carry and learn how to administer naloxone.
Absolutely 💯 you can always do more but you can't do less!!! Love that!!!
That all sounds well and good but to the average addicto the average addict once they have that in hand they're opening it preparing it and doing it they're not gonna sit there for an hour and play with it because you're most likely in pain and shaking and what have you, It sounds like a tremendous idea but the fact of the matter is a very low percentage of users will practice that. They want that prepared and in their body as fast as they can and it's so sad and I've been there.
@@johnnym4400 I get what you are saying (I used for 14+ years) but test strips work in the amount of time you can sing Happy Birthday. I hand out naloxone and test strips in my area and people who are in active use ask for them constantly. They do use them. Not all of the time but there is also a time when someone who is actively using and they get their fix in their hands, it's almost a placebo effect but they "feel better" and once I talk to them and explain that they will realize that and take the time to test their supply. So many just don't know that they can take a few minutes and keep themselves safer.
@@JessicaComptonHR Oh OK thanks for educating me on that I really appreciate it. It's never too late to learn something new!! Thank You again hun!
@@johnnym4400 you are so welcome!! Thank you for having a conversation about it 😊 this stuff is what my whole life is about so I’m trying to spread the word. Thanks again 🤍
Bullshit u don’t stop racism talking about white & black people…were all people full stop…
Yeah because talking about race had nothing to do with Civil Rights law. Not speaking about the elephant in the room doesn't make it stop pooping. Go to school, read a book, do something.
I’m so sorry I give my condolences out to all the families/parents/siblings who lost their loved one to Fentanyl I wish they would get all of the synthetic fentanyl drug off the streets😢☹️
They should go after the drug dealer because he or she doesn’t care about that person using. The dealer just cares about him self. That person should face consequences for taking a life.
I remember at my high school there were some kids that got horse tranquilizers and took them behind the gym and all overdosed. Huff Jr high school in Lincoln Park Michigan. 1975
"Huff" they were just asking for trouble with that name!!! 😂 jk 😂
Yes black communities have access to drugs not because of racism stigmas but because there is money in the game of drug dealing. But I’ve seen all sides and there are drugs and dealers in all communities
U look like someone i once knew
problem is kids who think they getting real pills and addicts with depression, dealers are just supplying a demand.
Awww those poor dealers 🤦🤦
Sadly part of the problem is that most doctors and hospitals now refuse to give pain medication to pain patients. They feel desperate to relieve their pain and end up buying off the streets. Then they become addicted to the fentanyl that is in almost all pills on the streets now.
Yes there are plenty like this story that do it for fun or to relieve depression, but many are also people who should be being treated by their doctor for their pain but the doctors won’t so they find pain relief elsewhere and then die.
We need to stop the war on pain patients. It would absolutely help stop the overdoses. Even if some sell their pill, which the vast majority don’t, then some non fentanyl pills would be on the street again.
Shipped from China to Mexico to here.
By our own damn governments
yes china is making the bad stuff
@@michelemcguire8995 They still don’t make people take .
China has mostly been stopped. Now Mexico is making most of the fentanyl and the problem is worse than ever.
My heart goes out to the families of their loved ones who overdosed on Fentanyl. ♥️
About 3:30 minutes or so into this someone says they take fentanyl because it’s the best/cheapest available. This is surely true in many cases but I have also heard users say I can’t find a good supply of heroin, so I ‘have’ to go for the Ferntanyl….but they are not happy about it because of the risk and the fact that it is short acting.
Exactly. Heroin is not readily available anymore so needing a drug to replace it or get sick, an addict uses fentanyl. Who knows what the fentanyl is cut with - most times its xylazine + whatever else is handy.
I wonder where all the real heroin went?? Its not like they stopped growing the poppies or stopped making the heroin...
@@luckylala1224 Good question. I'm thinking it's available in some places if you want to pay the price. People in Kensington dont.
@@mmwilliams7279 yeah I guess but ur telling me there use to be enough of it to go all over the world for a fairly low price, but now theres none?? Only the ppl willing to pay high prices can get it? Idk?? It was never a real expensive drug, im sure it got pricey the more u did it and need it but it general purposes its a rather cheap drug. I watch all these videos, and its just not out there anymore, i just wonder where it all is or is going?
@@mmwilliams7279 its really not available anywhere I know of anyways. Ppl dont even want it anymore because they convinced themselves its not strong enough but what they fail to realize is heroin gives waaaaay more euphoria then fentanyl!!! Way more!!! These ppl even have themselves believing they are addicted to the tranq!!! It honestly shouldn't even be called "getting high" anymore because there really isnt even a high, they just get slumped out on the sideway. Thats not "nodding" thats just knocked tf out.
I’m from Illinois and there they only charge death by distribution if there are multiple victims from one person either at the same time or one dies and later on another from the same dealer. Maybe that’s what they are doing in Florida
STOP making it SOOOO EASY for ppl to order pill making kits/ ingredients threw mail order delivery services, filling them with who knows what!!!! that should help!
Do not let your environment control you.
I did heroin for 10 years opiates for about 15, my dad was a heroin addict also, we both been clean since 2018. But I think one of the biggest problems that we have is is accountability, too many people want to blame the dealers and the doctors but make the addicts victims when they are just to blame if not worse, I don't think dealers should get charged with first degree murder or second degree murder or manslaughter even for selling drugs and people doing them by their own accord
Congrats on sobriety 🌹
Congrats indeed!! Much respect for you! May I ask you how long it took you for the withdrawals to cease? I think that’s a huge reason that people can’t stop is due to withdrawals being so violent. I’m a chronic pain patient and I have been since my mid to late 30’s. I’m 53 now and I have to say that I’m definitely addicted to these meds! It’s just the truth and I’m not ashamed to say it. I am, on the other hand SICK off having to see a pain clinic EVERY month!! I have anxiety like no other and just knowing that I have to see a Dr every month drives me nuts! If drs would’ve told me years ago that these pain meds were addictive, I wouldn’t have touched the first one. I think I would’ve tried a more natural remedy instead. I’m to the point in my life that I just want to break away from this medicine. Thank you in advance for any advice/help that you can provide. I really appreciate it! God bless you♥️
@@MawMawsGirlz my advice find a Suboxone clinic and within a year ween off of that...cold turkey your looking at 3/4 days of hell with about 30 days of sore muscles and a lot of depression and no motivation,iv tried cold turkey too many times to count and always relapsed,the only way I could do it was with Suboxone
You still have that junkie mentality. It's not everyone who will use heroin (dugee) as their drug of choice. You are too hardcore to make any logical opinions about the world of drugs. Stay off the dope, next time you may not be so lucky.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This is murder
50 percent HIGHER THAN THE NATION
The police where I live don't care about people dying my son died I'd like to know who sold him the drugs cuz I could take care of the problem. They need tougher laws for people who sell drugs that people die from cuz they should get the death penalty also
It all depends on who u know. Whats that old saying? Its not what u know, its who u know.
I know someone that od and died and their grandfather is up in the poltics (I cant remember what he is but he is up there) and they just sentenced the dealer to 18yrs. Its a shame but its the truth. Get ur sons phone, it probably has all the info u need and go from there.
Crime and over dose death's increasing in NC as well .
They think it takes the pain away but all it does is put a bandaid over it for a short time and almost 100 percent of the time will cause more suffering than you were in to start with.
i know 0 african americans ho died of opiods.. i know 36 hite kids who did and my town is 50k
those graphs do not do justice to the souls lost. Would you like to see your kid represented by a coloured line on a computer site?
The responsibility also falls on the person who is taking this stuff. I believe it go’s both ways.
Not really if they are being duped and being sold something that isn’t.
you sit as a person in daily unbearable pain then speak
yet you are correct so very correct
@@elizabethcozy5952 she’s not correct. Besides the government has a huge hand in this. Wonder why docs were flooding towns with pain pills then stopped, made everyone switch to heroin, then magically fentanyl hits. Too much of a coincidence don’t ya think?
@@LUImusic856 sure does make one think! The “coincidences” are too hard to ignore. It’s almost as if they prefer the fentanyl crisis because it takes the blame off of them (docs). Not everyone that seeks pain medication are addicts of any sort I must mention but some do resort to addict behavior to relieve horrible pain. It’s absolutely not right to control the population in the way you are mentioning that’s for sure!
What I don't understand: Opioids are addictive and dangerous. Over here in Europe, they are mostly used in palliative care or extreme medical situations like cancer or complex surgeries. In Switzerland and the Netherlands opioids are being used in assisted suicides. Even if a doctor would prescribe me opioids for something like back pain (even chronic back pain), I would never ever take it. There are enough NSAIDs which are helpful (most of the time). It's so hard to fathom that millions of people with every day pain get a prescription for something that dangerous. If doctors are acting that irresponsible, you have to educate yourself in order to shield you from taking something as harmful as opioids for relatively "common" types of pain.
It's quite interesting to watch this documentary of the dangers of Fentanyl while I'm sitting here smoking "Fetty" at the same time.
The honest truth is that somehow I feel invincible and untouchable in that I'd NEVER die of "Fetty" - which is such an ignorant way of thinking.
But TRUST ME when I say that I've many, many times to stay clean through several rehabs and recovery programs.
But I should try extra hard to kick this habit. And once I do I would be celebrating my LIBERATION. As for now, I continue to use it so I don't withdraw nor get sick from it.
I wish you all the luck in the world my friend. I hope for your sake and for the sake of your loved ones you kick it once and for all... before it kicks you. No one is invincible.
My own brother thought he knew what he was doing too, probably thought it right up to the time he od'ed and died, which in turn broke my moms heart. Literally. She died 49 days later. Believe me when I say that if the worst was to happen to you, it doesn’t happen to you alone. It happens to your loved ones and friends too. A piece of them dies along with you.
There will be a point when you're ready to get off the hamster wheel.
Your spirit will desire the freedom and liberation it so deserves more than running around trying to find the next bag just like yesterday.
May safety and security surround you until you're ready for something different.
your day will come soon, whether that's ODing or getting sober I wish you the best. but one or the other is gonna happen and soon.
I’m in the same boat bro prayers for u 💔
exactly right
I hope, as a resident of Florida, that the government stops hiding behind Disney and the money and takes responsibility for this situation. When is the government going to care more about what is in the people's best interest and not less the money!!
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, "the Mouse" makes money FOR the state, but addicts dont. Our gov't in FL cares more about tourists and snowbirds than they do about residents.
Sadly they will never care😢
The war on drugs needs to move higher to the people who pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring the drugs into the city.
What about ISO? It is here, narcan might not work, you might need 6, and addicts are only given 2. Like me. Fetty is nothing compared to ISO...Jeannie

I survived a overdose smoking m30s "blues" I started with a half pill and it absolutely hit me hard my friend sold them and he told me not to take more than half or mix it with liquor. He would smoke about 8 a day at that point he told me that he is in prison now. I didn't use for a while.... I started again because my Sciatic nerve got mest up and the hospital gave me Ibuprofen 800mg it was useless my pain was so bad I couldn't move. I started doing more and more slowly. When your building tolerance you throw up alot your body doesn't take it... I started smoking them... Last month I smoked 4 pills and I didnt have more so I started smoking the resin (build up) inside the Metal straw huge hits I was peaking without noticing it till I knocked out my gf was sleep it was 4 a.m... she heard me do a weird snoring noise and tried waking me up by hitting me hard in the face and punching me in the body etc.. she called 911 and tried cpr on me but didn't work.. took me 2 minutes to wake up by myself I don't remember nothing... just remember ambulance at my door.

What in the world are you talking about haha
Will a drug addict not do drugs he/she just bought because of the strip? The strips look not effective to me
just because the test strips are illegal does not mean that you will be busted.
the sellers address has to be in the authorities and post office database so they can detect what it is.
you can get one of them forwarding mail sites that popped up after the abortion controversy .
just set up a mail forward from a state where it is legal and the seller can know it is going to florida.
of course a good seller would be smart enough to either not use a return address or munge it such to avoid detection and look like an ebay purchase.

But everyone and I mean everyone including you I’m sure makes stupid naïve decisions at some point in their lives especially in their teens and twenties. So maybe have a little Knowledge and compassion for the kids that have died from fentanyl poisoning and the families left devastated. Because in most cases including my daughter’s all they took was 1 pill. I pray that no one you love falls victim to this weapon of mass destruction. It can and will happen to anyone no matter how well their parents taught them how smart that person is. You can never know exactly everything your child is doing and if you think you do then your as stupid as your comment. You should maybe educate yourself more and pray to god daily that you never have to experience finding your child your heart and soul dead on her bedroom floor. I pray you never have to live with the agonizing pain and heartbreak of never seeing,hearing or touching you child again, never having that future with them that you always imagine you’ll have with them.
AND NEVER EVER SAY NOT MY CHILD.
TOURIST area's are the worst
Really? How do you make that leap?
Correct joy
Why are the companies that make it not being charged?
They know it can be addictive but produce and sell it anyways.
They typically only make 1 component out of several needed to manufacture Fent, so alone the precursors are legal and don't become illegal until they're turned into Fentanyl, Chems usually from China shipped to Mexico, cooked up by the Cartel into Fent, and a bunch of it is pressed into fake M30 Pills and the rest is sold off as "Raw or Pure" to street dealers.
Maybe if we had a closed border we would be better off considering it comes through Mexico.
Never could stop supply since demand is so big too much money and people willing to risk it all and think of any way to make that money
The same video over and over and over, same story, same deep dive. Why not have safe injection places, maybe even start making save oxycodone or Hydro pills available to the public. Which is safer than a fake fent pill. Idk.
Allow doctors to prescribe again. Throwing doctors in jail for prescribing clean, legitimate drugs to their suffering patients has made everything so much worse. When these meds did get diverted, at least the users were getting a clean supply.
@@Cuinn837 that’s very true.
@@Cuinn837 and people with serious pain have horrible stigmas around them too
Nobody should divert, but when they did at least the people were getting clean drugs.
@@virginianative847 Yes, I have experienced this.
Damn I think the mom is high
WHAT? Pablo escabar is dead.
Each of these reporters need to call there own doctor and ask him a simple question? Ask him to write you a prescription for suboxon. It's a real simple question. Tell him your in withdrawal and you understand that suboxon with take care of the withdrawals. See what he says?Then get back to us. Keep in mind that the doctor can write you a prescription for some of the deadliest drugs in the world. See what he says?
It takes your life.
Don't take drugs!!!You can't just blame the dealers.These people choose to buy it.
I'm from central Florida all my life I've never thought that something would come in and take over the way Fentanyl has its in everything smh the rehabs don't make it better because people get caught in the shuffle and people keep dying how does it keep getting across the border the addicts aren't bringing it they buss someone n someone else gets a new shipment let's just think about it like that 🙄
I would imagine at this point in time there are not as many new users?
There are more users then ever now. Everything is laced with fentanyl. Nothing is real anymore.
7:10 "stop the supply stop the problem" ?? I completely understand this woman being disillusioned but the lack of basic knowledge in regards to addiction/ drug usage / harm reduction etc is still boundless in this country. Lost both of my child best friends to alcohol/ overdose within a year of each other and had no idea they were struggling with addiction. I will never forgive myself and my attitude now is take action. Help others. Embrace my brothers and sisters. ... Finished with my rant ...peace

Today they are fentanyl heads. In the past they were called lushes. Same people.

Check out the needle Park in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania at the Park on Kensington Ave thats famously named needle Park. It's horrible
I have a couple friends who do interviews with some of the people who are doing drugs over there..
No you stop the demand you stop the problem.
You gotta get yourself in a real shady spot to get bad drugs in todays time. What kind of kids are you people raising
That middle Man should not be facing a murder charge. I don't think any1 who sells drugs should face murder. If they didn't get it from them , they would have got it else where. I get it that the parents are upset, but I don't agree w it as an x addict, go after the people that are bringing it in in bulk. That dude probably just got her some drugs so he could get his for free. Not sure just guessing. I'm sorry 4 your loss
U sound like the middleman yourself lmao
How many times are we meant to pay for a paramedic, let the junkies pay!
It is never lasting. Need to escape😥
I know you can do more to what you're saying stop lying stop your mistakes stop acting like you're too stupid to do your jobs get off your butts and get out there and get it done stop talking about it don't even tell anyone until you got it done you're exposing yourself and you're exposing what you're doing you're helping the perpetrators run
They dont care as long as they are on the payroll... Sad but its the truth!!!
PASS IT PASS IT PASS It !!!! 😡
Geez , help save some lives will you ?????????? What's your damn problem ????? 😡😡😡😡😡
Most business people don’t use their own products. I bet the owner of McDonald’s doesn’t eat McDonald’s burgers.
Why don’t they try to understand why they’re using drugs? 😢
It would be the blk community to make this about race. I’m Hispanic and disagree completely about these situations about being race anything.
How many addicts have the same thing said about them i think we are just so dissalusioned by all the pain and hurt we withdraw into these drugs we miss our innocence starseeds dont respond well here he was special its obvious to me. i feel we would be close if i met him. im terribly soor for him and his family . i spent 20 years addicted to fentanyl, heroin all of it from 96 till 2017 i od,d 12 times before Jesus took my hand for the asking thank you LORD. Tthank you new choices recovery !
EVERYONE is going to suffer because of this. The quality of life eill soon drastically decrease to pay for withdrawal treatment in and out of prison. Even non drug users are going to pay to pay the price.
