Fentanyl is a potent and highly addictive synthetic opioid, approved for use in the US in the 1960s.

Today, Fentanyl is involved in more deaths in Americans under the age of 50 than any other cause of death, according to the country’s Drug Enforcement Agency.

And now child opioid deaths are also on the rise.

Just think, China may well have sent this to soften America up before declaring war, The British did the same to China before the first opium war, and scarily the two biggest demographics drugs kill first is young men and Army Veterans, exactly the people you need in a war...

Lost my dad on 6/2/23 due this poison. They guy that sold it to him died a couple weeks ago, probably from an overdose as well...not sure though, I didn't know him.

What I did learn of him was that he was dealing, a violent felon and that the police were investigating him due to my father's death.

I think fentanyl is like a Hitler's solution to drug addicts or junkies.
It literally solves the problem in seconds, minutes you are dead.
I am sure there's a political reason behind this epidemic.
Just like crack for black ghettos during Nixon era or heroin in Italy during the 80s and 70s...
These phenomena Don't happen just randomly.
There IS an agenda.
Covid eliminates weak old people or poor populations.
Fentanyl eliminates addicts.
Great idea,put fentanyl in bourbon and we solve the alcoholism problem 😂🤔🫢😫🥶

When drugs have absolutely no regulation because they are illegal and forced underground, this is the tragic result. Because there is such a stigma that was generated from a time period long before us, we have been taught to fear them and the many that use them. I started with being prescribed Oxycontin and was too afraid to tell anyone I was using too much. So then I started using heroin and was even more afraid to tell anyone and my fears became reality when people found out. They were all taught to keep their distance and started treating me differently. I was forced into isolation. Up until this point, I didn't need to be high every day but once I knew I was labeled an addict and a junkie, my self esteem became non-existent. The programs I was in only reenforced this new me. I was put in a program where only a tiny percentage actually achieved success so I began to just accept my fate. Then through the years of accessing opiates, fentanyl creeped in and eventually took over. I became hooked on a drug in which I didn't even enjoy as it's more of a tranquilizer than an opiate. But fortunately, one day I was treated like a normal person because the state had no other options in where to place my child. And all they did was ask if I could stop and then I would have him back. I didn't hesitate and I'm now clean almost two years. I went through the cycle of our failed system over and over again. It wasn't until I was treated like a human being that I became myself again. How we view drugs and people that use them has to change. It's not the drugs or the people that use them. Let's stop the insanity of trying all the same things over and over again. People are out there suffering because of it. People are dying. We are just like everyone else. We just want to be treated the same. Don't push us away. Bring us closer.

Really, it doesn't matter how many die, that's simply statistical accounting. If you can't be bothered to even care about your appearance, or personal pride then your a leech, expecting a free handout and making no attempt to improve your life. Well I'm not here to sympathize with loses, they can all pop off for all I care.
