Unemployment and stimulus created more funds for drugs.

Less Fentanyl

Less MS 13

More weed(legal)

Our society would be so much better with legal weed. You can drink all you can and all the health reasons you run into. End up having tremors and AA. Need vodka to feel ok.

Weed does not do that and it's better than alcohol. You can be very depressed too.

Switch to weed. No more drinking a 6 pack.

It's better. Most people would agree.

Monroe area

I've noticed a lot of Domestic Abuse and over and over again people or someone is getting arrested with major drug charges and getting bailed in 4 hours or less and if you look at the history of the person its not the first time.

How are they still on the streets.

Yea recently I’ve known of multiple people that have overdosed and died because of coke cut with fentanyl. They were all young white collar guys that occasionally do blow on weekends. Because of this a lot of people I know have sworn off coke

That's the plan. If no one cares in the US and has open boarders so you have to think its in the play book.

Lafayette too. And you don't hear much about it on the news. Just word of mouth from broken hearted friends and family.

Fentanyl is mixed with everything because it's so cheap.

Story I recently heard was a coed took half a pill at a party and was gone.

Prince died from the same thing. He thought he was taking prescription pills but they were not. They were loaded with fentanyl.

It amazes me that one group of people can have almost total control of a city for decades and a bunch of idiots are still sitting around wondering what the cause of the problems is.

The Chinese are flooding the market with fentanyl with the intention of killing us. That’s what I think

It been common.
Watched BRPD, EMS, and a young mans family ask him to accept medical treatment from an overdose.
Same drug house a week later it was a 12 yr old girl.
This goes back to 2007.

It's possible that a lot of people took up recreational drug use during the lockdown out of boredom too.

You guys are such soft pussies. Our grandparents or great grandparents grow up in a depression where they had little to eat. Now you guys cry if your ps5 doesn’t have internet connection. Grow the frick up. Life isn’t rainbows and unicorns shooting from your arse. Go to church, work hard, and when it’s the right moment, play hard. But everyone wants to be on a perpetual vacation and get “depressed” when they have to get a job.

I doubt very many if any people started using drugs that didn’t have a past history of using. However I’m sure there were plenty of people who had gotten sober that went back to using
