  1. that war on drugs looks so smart now doesn’t it? good thing we banned pot and coke for so long that now designer drugs with no limit are more popular, cheaper and stronger, easier to get….well done guys well done

  2. Say no to vaccines, say yes to Narcan. That's fine, I'm sure the drugs kids buy from the neighborhood dealer have been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy.

  3. Saw this real time before I left for gym . This sums up Biden and Chuckles border policy . Everybody knows that while border agents are forced to be social workers , drug cartels supplied by China are having a banner couple of years . The 133 % increase they refer too , starts right about the time Biden showed up . There is no plan to stop this flow , so let’s just hope to kickstart a few kids before death . At the end of this , the left is willing to deal with this for the promise of vote harvesting 25 million illegals . Point blank ..

  4. Ban drugs!
    Oh wait….

  5. No epipens. No insulin. But yes Narcan.

  6. This is the world's future!?!?! We're F'd. Sad, we as humans are going backwards

  7. drugs that were smuggled across the border killed 1000,000 americans last year. and yet, joetato keeps the border wide open

  8. America has forsaken God! You reap what you sow!

  9. That lady looks almost to young to have been a mother to the 19 year old that lost his life.

  10. Lol that's not a solution. Thats drug manufacturers taking more funding.

  11. Narcan is a big mistake let people overdose, let them learn. Stop making people homeless when they want to die

  12. This does not even amount to closing the barn door after the cows have left; they aren't even closing the door. How about addressing the problem instead of just treating the symptoms?

  13. Must be all the fentanyl streaming across the border. Compliments of the big guy.

  14. this is amazing. Its like the fight to get condoms in school bathrooms in the 90s… kids are gonna do drugs and have s3x. you cannot stop that. but you can stop them dying during stupid choices. JFC this is GOOOOD GOOOD GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. How about you dont do drugs in school. This just encourages drug use

  16. Whatttt????? Wow!!!! SMDH THE BABIES!!!!

  17. 👆 – FREE VIRT GIRLS CHAT 😘💋a👩

  18. When it's was "crack" in the hood, no one cared. It was punished by going to prison.

  19. It's a sad state of affairs when a high school has to stock Narcan.

  20. Yoo. This generation is going to be the end of this country

  21. It’s sad it has gotten to this point

  22. They should have it available but not up on the wall leting everyone see it & giving kids ideas.When I was a kid in dare program I was given this booklet thing with the chapters like cocaine, Heroin, inhalants, etc & it gave me a intrest in the differnt types of drugs lol.

  23. Meanwhile: Democrats don't care at all about border security and do nothing.

  24. KARMA NEVER FORGETS. CIA, REAGAN, BUSH SENIOR, OLIVER NORTH ETC USED CRACK COCAINE TO DESTROY BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND CREATED HASH PRISON SENTENCES FOR CRACK COCAINE POSSESSION. NOW, FENTANYL IS TREATED WITH WHITE PRIVILEGE.

  25. Now they worry once Fentanyl hits the rich kids drugs.

  26. ONLY IN AMERICA!!!! WTF 🤨🤔
