She is a junkie, and always will be regardless of what she is saying, blaming other ppl for your addiction is just putrid. Take a look, she is obviously using something in the video
The story fails to mention that quitting this is worse/harder than quitting herion, and the detox and withdrawal is life threatening.
Do they even know what heroin is? Compared to uppers?
Did you think the gas station stimulants were good for you?
This is a bit of stretch and titling it heroin…nothing too new here. Speed im guessing
I love getting my contact lenses and herion at gas stations. Quality stuff.
My daughter under to during eight monsters a day. She has cut back by half but we keep warming her about how harmful it is.
Of course this would be a government issue and of course they will not take the blame meanwhile they're the ones that approve all this kind of garbage
Is this an advertisement or a warning? 😂😂😂
that stuff is probably bad, but I think if you take $150/day worth of anything from a gas station, you're gonna regret it.
The gas station by me has it. And they also have high Potency kradom. And kradom is used to help with withdraw. And of it helps with withdraw then if ur clean and take it u can become hooked on it
Meanwhile doctors and big pharma getting rich creating opioid addicts…
Still safer for you than Convenience Store Sushi
Dont ever buy no weed from the gas station
The FDA is a big fraud, if they not here to regulate foods, what are they here for over than receiving bribes and donations from big name brands
Isn't Huntsville Alabama where space camp is???
STOP circumventing natural selection.
I took Zoloft for 6 days and then threw it away. Garbage medication.
They knew exactly what they were doing when they put that in there. Doctors will lie right to you and say medication like SSRI is not addictive when it really is.
