1 was a guy i know who had major back issues and would run out of pain pills from the doctor so he went to the street to get pain pills and it was actually Fentanyl pills which killed him

the other ones just liked to get fricked up and the roulette trigger got the best of them (thinking it was cocaine and it was fent)




Your one guy is just like the others.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why dealers are using fentanyl so much now to cut other drugs. It just seems bad for business to do things that kill their clientele. What happened to them using things like baking soda that are cheap and harmless?


If they didn't sell, no one would make them.

From what I've read, the hardcore addicts like fentanyl because it's ridiculously stronger than heroin. Their view on it is so warped that if a few people die from drugs laced with it, they want those drugs more.

Supposedly there is enough of the stuff coming in to kill everyone in the US twice. So what is happening to all this fentanyl?

Yes it is.

Everyone is told from an early age to not do drugs. The risks of buying street drugs from an industry filled with cartel counterfeits are well known. If you're too weak or stupid to not heed these warnings, then tough shite.

Let Darwin sort the drug addicts out IMO. I'm fricking tired of this cuddled society where the morons are always made into victims.

What epidemic?

People are making choices. Risky choices.

Epidemics of diseases are spread and people go get them usually don’t choose to get the disease.

This whole fentanyl thing is fricked up because it's now in fake pills. These people think they're buying one thing (muscle relaxant, pain pill) but get fentanyl instead. And basically if it's got two tiny grains instead of one, then they're dead.

Sorry to hear of your loss Boogie….this story has become far too common. Praying for you and yours.


This nation and quite frankly the world is in dire need of some Divine intervention, it seems there’s no proper order and this world is very close to spiraling out of control. May our Lord have mercy on His people.

People do stupid shite sometimes. There are known consequences and people still do them.

I'm not going to get worked up over it either way.

No, you wouldn’t feel that way if it was your child, a relative or close friend. Many of these young adults are so messed up from the Marxist/progressive indoctrination they received through schooling coupled with a deteriorating society ….it’s no wonder they’re psychologically damaged and turning to some form of sedation.

Man, I've seen people die over a lot more important things to me than drug overdoses. I'm not going to get worked up over people doing stupid shite.

Literally years of combat deployments has me jaded. I admit it.

I hear ya, but believe me if your beloved daughter or son died of fentanyl because the illegitimate regime wasn’t doing their part to seal the border and drastically reduce the criminal activities that allows this crap into the country….you’d not only be heartbroken you’d be really pissed off.

Dealers here use it to make pills and lace heroin. Cartels who move coke, H, etc aren’t using fentanyl. It’s 100% being done here by street dealers or middlemen suppliers in order to make their stuff more powerful and supply go further


Wrong. Did a a week over south of ATL with a drug interdiction unit a month ago.Every major Mexican cartel is operating in every major US city. The Sinola, Gulf and Zeta cartels are in ATL. They are bringing in the pills manufactured in Mexico.

The bangers in the smaller cities all make runs to the bigger cities usually on Thursday’s to load up for the weekend. It’s like fricking Amazon for drug dealers

They don’t lace cocaine with it intentionally. Most of that comes from idiotic street dealers cutting the coke on the same surfaces they cut heroin on without cleaning the surface and it gets laced by accident.


What?
No
Street dealers cutting everything with fentanyl.

But they aren't, Fent is not a cutting agent, it's an adulterant

I personally know of four deaths of young people under age 25 from fentanyl laced Percocet pills in the past 8 months.


My cousin almost died from it. He was very fortunate that multiple doctors were in his immediate vicinity when it happened.
