I'm not arguing a single one of your points. As far as I can tell, I agree completely with you.
I'm just pointing out that the increase in OD's could be attributed to the lump checks that are being sent to anyone and everyone. Including your run of the mill junkies.
If teenagers are overdosing on dirty ex pills, that's a different conversation. Both need to be addressed.
Edit: Actually, one needs to be addressed. I could give two fucks about the junkies.
I had my doubts to but it’s real and is infuriating. Pm I can’t talk anymore in detail in the open.
The thing is real drug addicts are testing, it’s the kids on social media that don’t know.
I posted this link at the bottom with pics to another person. They’re doing fake Xanax, adderall and other party drugs including weed.
"They're made to look nearly identical to real prescription pills," Milgram said. "Their color, their size, their markings are virtually identical to what a real prescription pill would look like."
And why isn’t this being aired 24/7 warning kids? There’s only a few articles, I can’t find it but it’s even being put into weed.
Social media platforms including Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram have been used to market the counterfeits to teenagers, the officials said.
They’re getting the kids, again why isn’t this being shouted from the rooftops like everything else.
"This is a national emergency," DEA administrator Anne Milgram said Thursday at a press conference. "And this is just the start of the work that the DEA will do to address it."
And yet all we hear about is covid and climate change.
I’ve had yellow Xanax before but it was legit, I wouldn’t even think twice if someone I knew offered me a piece of the bar, I would now though.
Look at the pics in the article:
And look at google news and the lack of coverage, 3 weeks ago and a week ago. Nobody is sounding the alarm like they should be doing. OD’s at an all time high and practically nothing.
It’s like they’re purposely not reporting it’s kids on the news and people like you and me think it’s a bunch of junkies and don’t care.
It takes 1mg to kill you. There’s 20 or 30+ fentanyl metabolites that are being used and there’s only one testing strip company that tests for them all or you can send them away and have them professionally checked but it’s expensive.
The problem is it’s cheap and the cartels are getting greedy. They mix and then mold the pills themselves(mexicans can’t do anything properly). So you can test part of a pill which is clean but the other part has 3mg of fentanyl because they can’t mix it properly and the kid is dead or a group of them.
Drug addicts are scraping parts of the entire pill. I can’t go into more detail unless you want to go to pm’s but it’s extremely interesting how they noticed before the DEA and couldn’t figure out what was going on, when the stories dropped, they panicked. but this can’t be talked about openly.
