@mosaicowlstudios I Think This Was A Great Documentary, Fentenal Is Now. A World Wide Problem!! My Son Died In 2014 From Abuse Of Which Started With A Prescription, Stopped Going To His DR And Buying Them On The Street, Because Of His Age I Pleaded To Baker Act Him, No One Would Help Me, He Didn't Live At Home, He And His Common-Law Wife And 2 Daughters Lived Together.. My Son Put Himself Through School And Worked During The Day!! He Was Making $75 Dollars A Hour, Who In Their Right Mind Would Give That Up Except A Person Using Drugs!! I Know He Started Using Meth I Told Him I Couldn't Help Him With Money I Couldn't Trust Him Not To Buy Drugs Or Buy His Wife's Liquor!! I Bought My Granddaughters Clothes And Shoes But The Mother Would Take Them Back For The Cash, I Even Watched My Granddaughters Not Knowing The Mother Had A Restraining Order On My Son When It Was Her Attacks Against My Son, He Spent 6 Months In Jail, She Called Him Saying That The Girls Were Sick, Had The Police Waiting For Him!! I Had My Son 3 Days After Jail, He Overdosed On His Pain Medication I Didn't Know He Had, My Son Took His Last Breath In My Arms Trying To Call 911 I'm In Chemotherapy Now, Not Wanting To Start Radiation!!

So sorry for your loss!

Thank you for your kind words! We made this in hopes of bringing light to the tragedies these families experience. We appreciate you watching!

As a filmmaker, this is a HUGE compliment! All of these people were so brave to come forward and share their stories and I just pray that this film wakes people (namely our youth) up to the dangers of substance use so that their stories can stop ending so abruptly.

Thank you for the feedback!

Op. Judgmental.

@gingerhart3584 I'm So Sorry For The Loss Of Your Son!💓 My Son Died Oct 8th 2014 He Was 26Years Old.. My Life Has Changed Forever, I Think Most Parents Feel This Pain...

Many states are enacting drug-induced homicide laws to charge dealers with deaths. South Carolina is working on one here that is close to passing.

Thank you for the feedback!

It’s annoying!

They may have chosen to start but they do not choose a counterfeit substance laced with fentanyl.

So I was sexually abused as a child then as a teenager and now I’m 51yo and still battling with a meth addiction and have an opiod problem due to chronic pain SO you’re saying I chose this path? Pedos and untreated childhood trauma made me “choose” ok So Stop with the it’s a “choice” babble!

@@JK-mf1poNo of course you didn’t choose this path (I’m sorry there are people who don’t get it). Like many of us, you would’ve just been doing whatever you could to deal with your emotional and physical pain.

@@Nina_Olivia I have tried matey! For over a decade go here go there Dr this Dr that psychiatrist anti depressants psychologists pain specialists so much of wasted energy has been spent and doctors have no idea what a person like myself goes thru daily. My drug addiction meth started in my 20s and it still has me chasing it! I don’t hold anger or judging etc I forgive but I won’t forget my tormentors in my childhood that has lead me to paths of darkness you don’t know or want to know trust me matey.

So sorry to hear this! Addiction is a dark disease!

This is the case in many places. Fentanyl has a very strong hook for addiction and a small therapeutic index (meaning that it does not take much at all for it to have its intended effect) so if an individual is not passing away then it's likely that they will continue to seek fentanyl, and unfortunately will continue to overdose.

@@bhspcAnd now they’re adding another chemical to street drugs that offset the effects of Narcan, so we can’t bring ODs back! If this were about the money, the producers of these drugs wouldn’t be intentionally killing off our mostly young men by increasing the strength and resistant to countermeasures. This is an attack!

Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah I can’t watch it either due to the issue with the music. It looks like a really good documentary - hopefully it can be fixed and re-uploaded.

Hi Laura! BHSPC is a private, non-profit organization that works with individuals who have substance use disorder or other behavioral health issues. If you'd like to learn more about what we do you can go to our website www.bhspickens.com

Unfortunately, this is very true.

You're saying cannabis is a gateway drug?

@@sirjames7800 As an example, we recently had a case of marijuana seizure in our area sprinkled with fentanyl powder--making it unsafe.

Weed is safe from dispensary

@@elisabethfinn6702 here in South Carolina where we are located, it is still illegal.

Hangover suck

@@therealbigfoot3076 ...indeed! No euphoria.

How about trying to educate yourself on addiction.

​@@therealbigfoot3076nah FR. That right there makes me question myself on alcoholism everytime I do it to myself. Like girl you didn't think this through...did you? Or you did and you need help?

We understand that it is not for everyone, but for the moms in this video that is how they dealt with losing their sons. And many others out there cope in the same way so that's why we left it in the film. How someone chooses to cope with loss is up to them :) Thank you for the feedback!

@@bhspcThat part I understand. I guess the point I'm making is that I think the religious stuff plays a role in the development of addictions - as does any ideology - overemphasis on ethnicity, politics, religion, gender roles, military/police, patriotism - it's the rigidity and the perfectionism that function as a set-up in the lives of developing young people. It's just my experience. I've been an MSW for 41 years.

@@bhspc And I didn't mean to minimize the excellent work you're doing. I recently heard a counsellor say to a parent "Your son just needs to hit bottom." "Hit bottom?" I said. "That's a phrase we used 20-40 years ago to describe things getting worse. Today 'bottom' means "dead."" As you point out, you can't get it wrong today - not even once. That wasn't true when I was growing up. It's a very different world - and it's impossible to even do enough public education.

@@ted1091 Thank you very much for your feedback! Living in the Bible belt can be tough for sure. We really appreciate you watching, and providing us with valuable information that we can take moving forward with other projects.

Not true. What about k2?

As someone who nearly died from weed laced with PCP. I can definitely tell you that is a lie. People put crack with weed and dip weed in all kinds of liquid drugs to modify the High which would make it laced.

I've smoked black tar heroin shoved in a cigarette many times. If you can smoke it like that, I'm sure you could smoke it in a joint. You would know heroin is in it, at least black tar, I've never done the white heroin but you can definitely smoke that via combustion. So your little Ted talk is bullshit.

My son overdosed from one bong rip of weed that was unknowing laced with fentanyl.
