Exactly..things were different ….this is horrible.

100 percent it's a shame. Legalize it imagine the people who's lives would be save.

@ gimpfoot. Weed is legalized in many states yet illicit weed is still prevalent everywhere. Legalizing it won’t change that.

@@toothrestorer6588 Hmm, that's not true. Legalizing it helped a lot. Weed is not legal in most of Europe, not even medically. Dealers put tires in the weed(it's true google it) and kids die of heart attacks because of it. Legalizing weed would save so many lives in Europe. Just like legalizing opiates would end fentanyl poisoning.

And while fentanyl can be found as the sole drug in some samples, approximately 70 percent of the time it is mixed with other drugs. … We’re seeing fentanyl mixed with everything, including counterfeit pills.”

I got started then too... Oxy 160's were still around when I first got going, but i would scrape the lining off an Oxy 40 and sniff just a quarter, for the first so long of my habit. Once my money ran low, I switched to the good NYC dope. I actually got clean for some years, many on Suboxone, some just clean (but smoking weed, whatever) and then a few years into fent having completely displaced heroin, I got back into it. I never overdosed once on Oxy or heroin, but I overdosed like, three months into using fent? It's such a goofy, crappy drug... lasts longer, way more side effects, but subjectively, doesn't get you nearly as actually high. I guess that "fentanyl" is one of actually hundreds of fentanyl analogues, novel opioids, or combinations of multiple of those substances, and sometimes others as well, like they'll throw xylazine in there when it's real bunk. But what happened with me is, one day I went and got some, and I was stupidly still injecting it, which i only did with dope because sniffing it inflamed my lungs so much. I shot some on this day and was pretty sure right away that, whatever it was, was not the same as what it had been. The high was weak and wack, but also, it felt a little off. Three hours later i injected the exact same amount I injected the first time, which always worked fine for me with the stuff i'd been getting from that same guy.... I injected it, messed around in my seat for the better part of a minute, stood up, and... ...next thing I know I'm coming conscious from blackness, and aware that my heart is pounding, and my scalp is burning. I guess I overdosed, but not so bad that my body wasnt able to shock me back out of it. I just slumped forward into my PC, no clue how long I was out for. And, I was higher at that point, than i'd ever been in my life. I was so scared i'd fall back out so i dressed as quick as I could and just went outside, walked up and down some main-ish street, slamming energy drinks for a couple hours until I was sure I was gonna be OK. But yeah, it's so hard to gauge a safe dose when you never know if what you got now, is the same stuff you got last time. And especially when the high is so bunk that a dose that hardly got you high, is apparently nearly enough to cause an OD. Weird, wack stuff. It also.... it varies so much depending on what fent you;re getting, but the stuff up here now, if you stop taking it, it takes a full WEEK before you actually fully enter withdrawal. Like if you want to take a suboxone, if you dont wait SEVEN days, you're going to have some precipitated withdrawal effects. The stuff that used to be around up here wasnt like that, but the stuff up here now, is. It's such a weird and wack drug

I feel like we as Americans refuse to learn. We were already taught this lesson in the 80's and it should have been passed down generation to generation. It wasn't...so now people are dying again. We just refuse to learn.

*drugs

So frustrating and hearttbreaking to read..Cheap drugs also make it easy to buy them. We all need to fight this. Thats why never try it. Once you try you get addicted for life.. Addicts need purging and also some strong distraction from drugs. Hard core activities..+ Therapy + Meditation. And need to cut loose bad friends and people in their circle. And need to solve the root cause of their problem, what drove them to drugs in the first place.

My heart goes out to you. 😔 I have 19yrs clean from cocain abuse and Im 54yrs old. This group of 5 could have been me and my friends too. I recently attended an NA meeting with a girl who had 8 days clean. I hadn't been in those rooms for 15yrs. It absolutely devested me how many people were there. It was completely packed with so many young people. I sobbed on the ride home, when I considered that those were the ones seeking help, so imagine how many are still out there dieing. So, so sad. I realized how much grace I've been given in my life in that moment. Although I saw people die it was not to this degree. Things were much different when I was lost in addiction. God in heaven help us 🙏. These drugs are being pumped into our nation with intention. There is a horrific agenda being perpetuated on our youth. It's just devastating to me. 😔

@@lukewilliams9428 thank you it’s so devastating for the loved ones.

It is shockkngly common and widely accepted, I'm really struggling to have the sympathy for the deceased that I once would of had. Fentanyl laced drugs are widely known about, some of these people were parents and yet they were happy to put money in the hands of criminals to have a fun night.

I know. A new baby and snorting cocaine? That’s shocking

If you play you pay. Don't want to pay?? Don't play

Geeze, where the hell have you been? Hop out of that bubble. Maybe it's a good thing being cloistered in that shell. There's nothing shocking about the drug use. What's shocking is when a person tells me they're training for a marathon or something like that.

It's actually extremely common. Kids were doing that before they were doing anything else because it's looked at like a party drug in Hollywood and all the stars are doing it for decades. I actually met kids in high school that we're doing that before they started using heroin, I was the opposite, I started pills, and then heroin, and then cocaine. But cocaine was the first upper I ever tried.

Why would anyone take anything from a dealer to begin with? A doctor wouldn't give him one? I have back pain a good 50% of the days. It can be severe. Had a chiropractor 20 years.

This sounds like crap. Stop making excuses.😊

@@darthsigil I'm not making excuses. My sister is a nurse. It literally happens all the time. You get pinpoint pupils when you OD. You can't fake that. You also can't fake your heart beat rapidly dropping or going into cardiac arrest. And I sound like crap? I'd say I believe any nurse over your personal opinions. Wishing a cop was lying isn't the same as them lying. Look up overdoses off feytenol. Your not very intelligent if you believe every day citizens can OD on it yet a cop can't from sniffing it. It's literally a grain of salt is all it takes. Look that one up too. Your uneducated about the drug clearly. And your arguing with facts not my personal opinions. my husband dying wasn't a joke and it isn't something to joke about we have kids. Go start unnecessary arguments with someone else. It's not needed here.

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 did I say he took a pill or bought a pill from a dealer? No. That not anymore family member is in jail. And so is her husband for falsifying prescriptions. I'm not interested in negative or immature comments on a post about people who OD. Especially people who arnt trying to get high or even aware of it. This cop was doing her job and people still want to say it's fake. It's ridiculous. Go open a bag of it and see what it does to you. See if you fake an OD. They don't even give that amount to cancer patients who are dying. And it's not powder form it's liquid in an i.v. it's completely different. If I hadn't talked to drs or cops after the incident I'd maybe question my opinion. However these are not my opinions. These are things happening daily to everyone. Not just cops. Are the others who OD faking it too? Are their kids?

I'm so happy that your husband survived! He was just trying to ease back pain, and as you stated, from family, what should be a trusted source. I'm glad you still have one another!

None of this would happen if they legalized opiates. I've been taking pharmaceutical opiates for many years due to chronic pain. I've never even come close to overdosing. It's almost impossible when the stuff is legal. Prohibition is killing the youth.

Geesh! I’m so sorry!

Good choice. Keep it up. Stay safe and sober..

Yes, that's true, but almost everyone had made a poor choice at least once in their life. All of us could be dead...it still amazes me how we are fragile and strong at the same time. I lost my aunt, dad, grandma and mom in last 4 years and I sometimes find it really hard to cope, so I understand choices that can, unfortunately, be fatal.

I agree that is so irresponsible. Nor saying they deserved to die but ahouls not allow drugs around their child. A vulnerable baby !

It’s not about “deserving to die “. I think that’s being hyperbolic. It’s about personal responsibility. We all know the risks in taking illegal drugs. They made the choice. This is the result. If you define “having fun” by taking cocaine , you get what you get. It’s not a question of whether you “deserved “ to die. What if they all died from cocaine induced heart attacks.
