I had a friend who bought what was supposed to be cocaine last weekend. This is not a regular drug user, he was just wanting to party with a girl, she wanted coke, he had a 'hookup'. It gets there and he does a 'nummy'to taste it to make sure. (I stopped him here asked him why he did this, saying that this wasnt the movies- he was dead serious when he told me this is what it is now, you have to check everything you get) anyways he noticed it tasted weird so they smoked a blunt of weed while they waited to see. Shortly thereafter my buddy just remembers hitting the blunt and waking up in the hospital. He is a huge bear of a man and OD'd hard. Had the girl taken it, she probably wouldn't have survived. All from a 20 bag of coke. One line, one bump- dead. That could easily have been me as a kid.
This is not new either, when I was young they would lace weed and coke with crushed crack to try and get people hooked. But that was rare and could be spotted. This fentanyl shit is everywhere killing people left and right and these absolutel pieces of shit get a pass and half the money.
The drug manufacturers and pushers don't want it legalized so they can continue to prey on us, I'm so fed up.
I have no faith left in humanity.
Edit to add- had the emt not had norcan or whatever it is to give him on-site, he wouldn't have made it to the hospital to receive it there. Fentanyl is beyond evil. I've watched friends and family start on painkillers and become addicts. Some kicked it, some never did. How can you destroy lives and families and not only profit but gain immunity =(
