  1. Crack heads watching this video.
    Dang that looks good

  2. Just now turned into a emerging threat this s*** is worse than anthrax

  3. “Hang in there whites.“

    -Dave Chappelle

  4. If I end up overdosed then it was the FBI agents pretending to be my dad, Jeremy Chapman, Joanna Guadalupe Buck, and Nate Estes!

  5. Global Heroin export from Afghanistan before NATO invasion (2001 July): ~0.2%

    Global Heroin export from Afghanistan after NATO invasion: ~98.7%

    Sorry but Fentanyl is synthetic heroin and hence this problem was created by our governments overseas terrorism. The media is such propaganda..

  6. This stuff has been out for a year or longer….

  7. So many people could be healed and become drug opiate free with just one session of Ibogaine (the ones who actually want to get clean that is) but the pharmacutical industry make billions a year from pain pills and methadone etc so they would never heal people and it's also why Ibogaine is made illegal and why they put out fake stories about how dangerous it is etc. Most of the drugs on the streets come from our governments one way or the other.

  8. USA's ultimate plan to deal with the homeless and impoverished. Good plan from the Ruling Class' perspective.

  9. USA is building a story that this drug is fatal. So, they have a reason to attack mexico. Mexico is joining BRICS. This drug been rampaging the usa long ago. Now usa are worry. Wake up people

  10. Biden loves china and the cartel so this problem will only get worse.. SMH LGB

  11. Send this to Chyna

  12. I swear, humans will try anything to get high. My favorite is when parents say they didn't know Fentanyl could be present in illegal drugs thereby excusing their child's overdosing or worse. Don't do illegal or unprescribed drugs in the first place and you won't find yourself on the wrong end of it

  13. Whats new? When buying street drugs you never know what you're getting….

  14. No Duh, well keeping our borders wide open to illegals has consequences not that biden and his pack of clowns care.

  15. Its easier to get drugs than mental help in America.

  16. And WHERE is it it coming from? (A place between Mexico and the US where Biden and “border czar” Harris can’t seem to find).

  17. Americans reinvented krokodil

  18. Im a 20 yr vet tech and i administer xylazine daily (did today). I feel information and education are critical components. Just a reminder to be safe to all the other animal healthcare professionals out there… we now have a target painted on our workplaces and therefore us. Be aware and be informed.

  19. I miss 1980's American especial when it comes to drug enforcement. Just say no to drugs Nancy Reagan's style 😂

  20. It must be getting close to campaign time if the Democrats are caring about things they've never cared about before..

  21. Need this in the food desserts.

  22. this is not emerging this has been going on since probably before 2018! just say no! smoke the blessed green herb WEED!

  23. US to Mexico: “Stop all the fentanyl you’re bringing into the US”
    Mexico to US: “Stop all the guns you’re trafficking into Mexico” 😂

  24. I don't understand …whay is fentanyl? Who is producing it? How are people getting it and is someone forcing them to take it?

  25. Biden is a criminal human trafficker

  26. Look, Hunter tonight fun game 😂😂

  27. In other words, you people can never get real coke ever again. Don’t even try. Actual cocaine began to disappear back in the 90s and started being cut with other drugs. There is almost NO real cocaine available in the US. Unless you are a child of the sixties, stick to weed. At least you know what you’re getting and in many states it’s legal and controlled.

  28. Biden keep the border wide open, 235,000 deaths under Biden, this old fool is destroying America

  29. Give them more! Eventually the demand for hard drugs will go away. Don't fight it and it will take care of itself🖒

  30. Those yanks are world's best customers of fentanyl, although found in every nations. Why is that??

  31. As long as the CIA and FBI keep letting drugs in this country and remember the rich and upper class are the reason these drugs are here come on you think black or brown drug dealers have containers or ships we all know how drugs get here so Biden won't stop it we have to help people get clean but there is not much help out there cause we fund everyone else's problems 😅😂so its never going to end that's a fact
