    So much heartache caused by this poison. It's coming through the open borders. What on earth is going on with this and why isn't Harris actively stopping it? This is 100% on Biden's watch and he has failed.

    anyone who does drugs not meant for medication are stupid. I can't feel bad for someone where you see all the time that drugs destroy people lives.

    After working in the ED for a few years, I tell parents that 'whatever you think your kids are doing, multiply it by a few times'. What you see is the tip of the iceberg, so dig deeper and intervene.

    You’re not being edgy and cool when you do drugs, you’re ruining your life.

    Eventually you grow up and it all seems VERY stupid.

    Politicians need the people in their country to be on drugs. Anyone who is on drugs is not a rebellion. Now the geman gouvernement wants to legalize cannabis. Thats a fist step into the same situation…

    This is a public health crisis. People are being POISONED. Reagan era propaghanda and a faux war on drugs only made pharmaceutical companies and cartels richer and the problems worse. Prohibition is irresponsible and unrealistic. Pfizer sells the poison AND the cure.

    Tbh, the taboo about drugs needs to change. Im in Europe so idk exactly about america but to me it seems like its a very heavy topic there. Here it is somewhat accepted that young people use drugs. And we have support systems for addicts and its treated like you wanna quit smoking. So most people I know that do drugs sometimes. Mainly just XTC or Mcat/3mmc/meow or whatever you call it tell their parents they do it occasionally. And ive not really seen someone truly get addicted and if they would feel like hey I have a problem with this stuff I think the conversation would be pretty easy and light. So its also part accepting a lot lf young people want to do drugs and if they want to you can disapprove as a society but dont block them or make them feel like they need to hide it from the people that they might need later on if they develop a problem. In the end people in their late teens/early twenties are adults. And simply strictly banning them from doing something doesnt work anyway so why not make them comfortable to talk about it and be as open as possible about it without approving their behaviour? Idk if that makes sense to you guys but it works well here for most people I know. Someones sister had a 3mmc (I didnt personally know the sister) addiction, and her parents knew she used it sometimes so they really werent extremely suprised or disappointed when she asked them for help. They just said welp kids gonna be kids we'll help you get through this and they did. They got her help from professionals, 4 months later she was fine and life continued wasnt a big deal in a weird way my friend told me.

    Thanks doctors pharmacy and the congressional committee stop hoarding all the prescription, pain medicine, treating people like drug addicts because they’re in pain and need it. We work hard out here we deserve relief.

    “i noticed i had half this pill” “why not” “crushed it up and took a line” Spoken like a real dope fiend .BRO ITS HARD TO FEEL BAD FOR A COMPLETE IDIOT . white kids love pills bro i swear .

    The deaths were so much less when we could get legally prescribed opiates without having to subject ourselves to peeing in a cup like a criminal.

  21. @Kellatrina

    January 17, 2024 at 9:00 pm

    They are always pieced together like that. More than a few people have told me that. But girl you are freaking lucky to be alive. I’m so glad you were saved.

  22. @Kellatrina

    January 17, 2024 at 9:00 pm

    Little girl you are so blessed to be alive. That poison killed my best friends daughter 22 months ago. You are so so lucky.

    Where are the P.S.A.’s? Networks, You Tube, Netflix? They should be there to educate Americans in bursts that consuming fentanyl is not only deadly but supports evil Mexican Cartels that want to destroy America as well as subjugate and terrorize the people of Mexico. Why can’t we get this together?

    why are parents okay with their children smoking weed…? they talk about it like it’s a casual thing. “yea my 16 year old daughter smokes a little weed.” so weird.
