  4. That’s what you get for taking peerrrrcs. Stop listening to rappers.

  5. Drugs been killing people for decades and it's not going to stop so let's stop trying to act like this is something new..

  6. THE PROBLEM IS MOST MOTHERS WONT CONFRONT THE HUSBAND ABOUT SEX WITH THEIR DAUGHT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ALONE AND ITS A NORMAL FEELING TO THEM AND THEY WILL HAVE TO LIVE ON FOOD STAMPS WHILE HE IS IN JAIL

  7. remember when tony f was a privet assassin? now he went public on humanity making up distractions, lies and confusion and lets not forget all the new drug commercials selling and brain washing people into the many symptoms to sell the product over and over on tv to the 99999999.9999999999 people who are not Doctors so we can go tell drs to proscribe us drug we dont need at a staggering cost…. YOU NO A FREEFERALL ON LOVING PEOPLE WITH NO REMORSE AND EAT HIS LUNCH !!! WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE DIE TONY OR SOME ONE IN THE RIGHT FAMILY THEY WILL COME FOR YOU…. HEY BRUCE W YOU MAY WANT TO SEE IF FAUCI CAN SAVE YOU HE ALWAYS LOOKS AT A CHACE TO BE A FAKE HERO TO HIMELF

LOT OF FATHERS DURING LOCK DOWN COULD NOT GO TO GO GO BARS SO NOW THERE ARE THEY INVOLVED WITH THEIR DAUGHTERS??

  9. 3 second of seeing this kids home, and it’s obvious the dad doesn’t care for his child’s welfare.

  10. Keep that boarder booming, boys!

  11. Stick to weed kids, but the younger you start the more likely you’re gonna get a dependency on it. Worst case scenario you’re too fatigued to do things and you may get depressed/anxiety. God honest truth

  12. why do they call it an overdose?

  13. I have yet to see one pharmaceutical exec, salesperson, or doctor locked up!

  14. Experimenting is fine. I tried all of those, but stick to Marijuana. You don’t need anything else.

  15. What! No Way! You don't get to do the news anymore. Remind us how "everything" is Trump's fault losers! Russian Operative. You lost all credibility, and we are watching you FAIL. You would triple your viewership if you did real news like investigate lying cheating Hillary. Russian Operative. You didn't give the man a chance and said horrific and TRAITORIST lies. We won't just blow this off. Now Hunters Laptop$$$$$$$

  16. Parents must NOT be AFRAID to TALK to their CHILDREN about DRUGS . This may SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES

  17. I've never seen a better case for legalizing and regulating all drugs, even heroin. If people (who are already addicted) could obtain SAFE doses of these drugs (fentanyl excluded), the opioid crisis would end OVERNIGHT. There would be frequent quality checks, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, just like there are with all prescription and over-the-counter drugs. AND, if treatment centers are constructed in the hardest-hit areas, there would be a medical professional on-site to administer doses that are SAFE and that "wean" a person off the substance over time to avoid the effects of withdrawal. Other developed countries have figured this out a long time ago (e.g. Portugal, Switzerland), it's about time we did too. Thousands of lives would be saved as a result.

  18. darwinism at its finest, too bad she lived

  19. Parents must NOT be AFRAID to TALK to their CHILDREN about DRUGS . This may SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES

  20. It's flooding in through the southern boarder, over 100,000 dead Americans and Joe Biden couldn't care less.

  21. Hard to be a teenager? Sofia needs a job.

  22. And, you can thank your President for all the fentanyl in our country from his & the Democrats open border policies – Impeach Biden for not keeping his oath of protecting our country 🤔😳🙄👎🇺🇸

  23. Yet Biden wants the Border wide open still 🤣

  24. The fentanyl probably came from our Southern border it's flowing across thanks to Biden

  25. if you or someone you know has trouble with addiction of any kind, there is a channel here on you tube called the life boat. check it out and tell them chi chi sent ya

  26. Don’t do it! Pills are killers! No no no to any white powders….

  27. Who put the drug in her mouth?

  28. Hey Democrat voters YOU OWN THIS, Biden is opening the southern border just as he promised to do during his campaign. If you voted for Biden keep your mouth shut.
