  1. Pure heroin is almost like a soft drug now. Stay away from all pills and powders, even sugar.

  2. πŸ”΅πŸ”΅πŸ”΅πŸ”΅πŸ”΅πŸ”΅πŸ”΅

  3. A lot of people buying these fake percs, smashing them in dollar bills, and sniffing them through a straw

  4. Nobody is forcing these people to sniff these percs. Another thing is I’m sure many people know it got fentanyl in it but they still want it

  5. I don't even trust the WEED from the street anymore. Thank god the legalized shops are opening up.

  6. Mac miller was a junkie and should've faced jail time for drugs. to bad he is dead. The dealer should be free. He didn't do nothing wrong.

  7. is funny ABC using a black man to garner attention and sympathy for Fentanyl epidemic. A drug mostly used by white people especially white men. Crack cocaine got black people 20 to life but fentanyl is getting sympathy and help.

  8. everything is a business in america and that include the DEATH merchant.

  9. My daughter Alexa died of this 3/5/21 ~ she was only 20

  10. and yet psychodelics are still illegal, even after proven to have a therapeutic effects

  11. Why is everything laced with fentanyl why not just put baking powder something in Earth in the drugs instead of overdosing on things it would all be cheaper

  12. Why is this news?
    The drug dealers are doing us a favor by knocking off one by one of these druggies. Serve them right off buying drugs from them. These DD are vigilantes now. Free them from jail. They didn't do nothing wrong.

  13. The war on drugs has failed. Some people say just legalize drugs, which I think is crazy. People who are addicted to this crap
    need help. That is where my sympathy ends. Anybody who deals illegal drugs needs to face some serious consequences. I do not want to hear
    about breaking up families or any other nonsense. If you prey on people who have a serious problem, you are a piece of garbage and
    need to be locked up with other pieces of garbage for a really long time. The message would soon get out. I WOULD NOT EVEN BE OPPOSED TO THE DEATH PENALTY
    in some situations. Shoot them up with some really potent drugs courtesy of the FEDS and give them get a taste of the reality they have bestowed on their victims.

    Here is a question: Why should we have any degree of compassion for any piece of garbage who deals drugs? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!

    These pieces of garbage are no better than Putin who needs to be taken out.

  14. Do not take pills your buddy gives you. Ever. Get a prescription for any pills or don't use them. You cannot tell by looking that these Oxycontin pills are really fentanyl. They look identical. The only way you can tell is if you have a doctor's prescription. Or, it's bye-bye forever.

  15. Maybe if americans didn't feel so damned hopeless…

  16. parents grief as entertainment. smh

  17. Covid-death intended trailers turning into fentanyl drug death trailers – nuff said regarding how prolific and pervasive this problem is.

  18. Dont do drugs cuz drugs are bad m'kay…. cuz drugs are bad m'kay

  19. He took a street drug. The victim is just as responsible for his death.
