DEVASTATED Colorado's Fentanyl Disaster 

Facts

I am honest with my son and I tell him the same thing. You cannot try anything...even so much as an advil from someone in school

You spoke so much truth! I'm surprised I'm still on our earth and not under it. Thank you for much wisdom.

So was I, yet many of my friends didn't. Now 71 I see that many still die at a very young age in Canada also. Saddest thing, 🍁

Hi fellow Canuck. I'm in British Columbia. I think your child is using more than fentanyl. I know you don't want to hear that but the symptoms you're describing sound like meth use too. Either way, I pray with you. Most addicts have to hit rock bottom before they heal. Therapy, love, understanding, and lots of patience. Opiate replacement therapy can also save lives.

All the best and love sent her way ❤❤❤❤

Can you get your child on Dr, Phil's show or the Intervention Series?

I’ve never been to Colorado and I’m not sure why they put this in my feed, but your request is an easy yes. Mama, I’m very sorry your beautiful baby and you are going through this. She and you and your family are in my prayers for you never to get that phone call. But I hope 🤞 instead that you get surprised and she is able to get help that sticks and move forward with a happy life. Nowadays, if a parent gets a call that their child, whether a minor or a now grown child, who has been struggling like that is in jail, sometimes that’s the best news you can get. (obviously assuming they’re not there for a violent crime which would include a lengthy sentence but maybe theft. that seems to be pretty common based on other documentaries, ppl shoplift as I’ve seen and they then turn around and sell it at much less than the stores price all to get whatever they need to survive for the day as far as drugs, and some drinks and maybe if there’s a couple bucks left over something to put in their stomach. and then they usually have to repeat the process the next day. They literally feel like they have to. If it’s not physically addictive it’s mentally addictive and they feel like they have to have it- I guess as much as those physically dependent on the kind that cause lots of terrible problems withdrawing from or even attempting to. but the other kinds even if it’s a strong mental addiction make ppl feel compelled to take it as much as one who is on a substance that they will get physically ill from if they stop taking it suddenly. That kind of phone call is definitely preferable to the kind you and so many other parents (Im not an expert at all but Idk why but in the last 12 hours this is the third or fourth video my feed has shown me two different states and another was about part of Canada!) are terrified they’re going to get one day. I didn’t watch the entire videos, except for the first one of them, which I believe was the one about Portland, Oregon… but I did peek at the comments on the other and I saw quite a few parents say the same exact thing about waiting for and some actually fully expecting that phone call one day. that has to be a form of hell and I would imagine, especially late at night that anytime the phone rings it probably makes you jump. I already worry about my 4 young adult kids and other drivers on the road - sometimes late at night on the weekends - smoking marijuana, even and certainly driving drunk. I’m OK with people smoking when they’re off the roads for the evening but I worry about all the young people that may think it’s safe to smoke and drive too soon not realizing the reaction times can be affected. Anyway I’m not even fully awake but after getting up to use the loo, I’m charging my phone a bit before attempting to get a little bit more sleep. I listen to videos/podcasts on the phone to fall asleep. So this is probably way too long (adhd here, sorry!) but I really will be keeping you gals in my prayers!! Hugs and try to take some special care of yourself and maybe if possible, get a facial or a manicure or better yet maybe a massage on occasion. Worry and anxiety are no fun either. I know if she felt she had any control over it. She wouldn’t want to put you through all that worry. 😢

What is the Dr. Phil show going to do for her??? Absolutely nothing. ​@@PatSmith-s4j

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful child. God bless you ❤️

I lost my daughter

@@wildlifechavez724 I am sorry! I understand your hurt! I wish no one had to go through this kind of pain!

I have lost my daughter in the sense we have no communication. I fear the day I get the call… it’s been at least 5 years and her mind is so scattered.. 😢

That one broke me.

thank you for taking the time to watch and please share with others if you believe it might help them.

​@@MountainTimeMediaand nobody knows their family members are safe.....

You must not know your entire family . Every family is hit with this in some capacity. Rip Jc

​@@studentofthegamenetworks824 lol speak for yourself. My family is good.

@@XXXXX8don’t get too cocky private

And horrible to get off of. I recently had an employee go into withdrawals because her Perc 30 supplier dried up for a bit. Coming off meth is easier. She stopped eating and drinking. She was hallucinating. Couldn’t walk straight without falling over. Eyes rolling in the back of her head. Falling asleep but unable to actually go to bed and sleep at night. She got combative because she was hallucinating we were all devils after her. Even though her mother had gotten her help I’m not sure she’s serious about getting better. She had a history of various drug use and addiction. The dealers are using Tik Toc to market it like it’s no big deal. They target high school kids. Even though they’ve all been raised with drugs are bad, they still are trying it and using it. I saw a ton of very visibly sick kids around when the dealer dried up with supply. Most of their parents hadn’t a clue.

5th graders in my son's school were vaping Marijuana in a field at their elementary school. This is in the country, not a city. Start in 4th grade.

We have lost our spiritual nature ….instead of the Lord’s Prayer being the foundation of our daily life it’s more this more that ..we as adults are lost and un happy…..why wouldn’t our kids be ….the child like wonder is lost to the ideas of everyone should be famous and wealthy

@@richardbelisle4807 very very right on the money . Such a sad state we are all in today . Youth is lost in social media hell, there are no bars , no barriers, no criteria anymore .

@@noramira3472 yeah assuming that was written by an American it’s the second month of the year. that was my late husband’s birthday February 7th. not sure why you’re confused.

@@noramira3472 and yes- to my semi question I wondered about if it’s meant to be how we write it in America (with the month first vs the day first and then the month before the year) they wrote that two months ago… so they don’t mean July 2nd as it hadn’t passed yet.

@@noramira3472 oh, if that’s what you were thinking that it was supposed to say second of July I believe it’s supposed to be February 7.

100% it’s everywhere but some states are facilitating it though not arresting people and allowing for open drug use. Hell Gavin Newsom just gave 5 million for free alcohol in San Francisco WTF

So true, Philly where I live is really bad

It's all over North America...not just the states! You can thank the Chinese and Mexican cartels for that. They can walk right into Texas, New Mexico and California.

In Ontario, Canada, where I live, it's getting worse. 😢

In Calgary, it’s Fentanyl and Xylazine. I lost two of my employees to Fentanyl laced cocaine. Both were opiate naive_One line and dead.

@@undercoverreseller205 that's averaged to make a statistic. Not actually true numbers, this also depends on location and demographic factors.

Are you kidding look at the world some people live in its not the 1950s or 60s anymore ppl are slaves to there jobs which only pays them enough to barley keep there head above water ppl want an escape there was a time when you could work a normal job and be able to buy a house have a nice car money in savings now we live just to speak by unless you come from money young people dont socialize like we once did before social media everyone is cooped up in there homes guys and girls are not getting together like every generation before them have young boys are addicted to porn 30 and 40 year olds are still living at home it's a brave new world we live in

@@amodernalchemist432 sure - fake news 🤣 those are US stats for 2023

Thank you for articulating the most poignant issue in this whole debacle. The tragedy is mostly presented and talked about as if people are being forced-fed these drugs. People, families and society must take responsibility first, for creating the conditions that cause people to turn to drugs either for thrill or to escape whatever immediate circumstances they’re living. These drugs are actively sought, acquired and voluntarily ingested. We need to identify the root causes that give rise to dependent behaviors, address them, provide resources for mental and emotional health, while at the same time taking measures to stamp out supply and distribution!

I live near the Border. I try to keep track of the large drug arrests there to see if it is Cartels coming over with drugs. If it is they carry Identification for m the US. The majority of large busts are Americans. Where I live is a poor community. I know at least 3 people who go across the border and bring Fentanyl past the border checks. I've had fentanyl users detox in my home. I carry narcan and kratum for helping addicts. If a user nods out or shows signs of opiate use. I film them and show them what they look like when they are high. There is no excuse for the hate and the anger towards addicts. That in itself doesn't help. Changing our views on how we deal with addicts will hellp immensely. Turning our backs till they "want" help leaves people isolated and alone. Our punitive treatment models don't work. Treating the pain behind the addiction gets rid of the need to be addicted. It's easy to point fingers across the border but this needs to be solved right here. Look at our Government. They have had 2 border bills in Congress and a potential Presidential nominee has had his party vote no and stall both bills. If this is the way the Government is going to fight border issues in what is being called an emergency, the people need to do what we can within our country to save lives. All this postponing and killing bills in Congress just pushes back the immediate needs within our Country. Within our Country and finding care and concern is desperately needed. Hate twords the suffering is not helping to solve this problem. I totally agree with you. If we handled the problem within our borders, The people on the other side wouldn't have A profitable buisness here. Easier to blame another country than examine our own shortcomings that have manifested this issue. I don't believe that criminalizing this issue is the way to solve it. Getting charges that affect people for years and putting them in non treatment based jails isn't solving the core issues. It's just a punitive solution to a problem that needs a restorative solution.

My thoughts exactly. After learning from people like Dr. Gabor Maté, these types of documentaries, while informative, they miss the mark. It's time to interview specialists in psychology/social work/addictions along with families, legal experts, and law enforcement.

@@chuxxj Exactly! Recovering alcoholic with seven years sober. Who do I blame for the addiction that gave me a stroke and kidney failure and damn near killed me? The government? Taaka? Stoli vodka? Nope. Me! Only when I finally faced up to my addiction and did something about it did I recover.

Thank you for your comments.

This forever bullshit is the dumbest thing going around these days. Truth is your sister willingly participated in a game that killed her. She knew the risk involved. She believed that she was above all that. She was wrong, now somebody must pay. That is you.

Condolences 💔

So sorry for your loss RIP 💓

Sorry to hear that; our sympathies.

2006+ Suboxone saved me too!

Finally somebody talking sense. THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON OPIUM MONEY FROM THE BEGINNING and The Brits before USA did the same. This is the 4th "opiod epidemic" in the past 200 years in the USA... this is NOTHING NEW and ITS ALWAYS BEEN perpetuated the same way

THIS IS THE TRUEST STATEMENT OF THE ENTIRE THREAD!

How did the government cause these kids to buy fake Xanax off the street? These same parents blaming the government for their own failures would be the first to insist the government needs to abolish the type of social programs that reduce demand for drugs. The stories are sad, but ultimately it's not the government's fault any more than school shootings are the government's even worse failure to regulate and educate on illicit firearms.

You should go back and read my comment, if they haven’t taken it down yet! The government are 👿👿😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

You're not wrong

Insidious and creeping death is the opiates we lose people to.

So true... I nearly got caught out myself... very close. Using tramadol and oxyconton for 5 + years & I found the strength to stop.. with the help from my Lord & saviour, Jesus christ 🙏 🙌

This is exactly my husband’s story. Different place same outcome- addiction. And we were told at the time that if you really needed pain meds you would never become addicted. This was told to myself and my husband by his doctor. We trusted him. We were just pawns in the game of big pharma. He is clean today thank God. But we lost so many friends to drugs- prescribed or otherwise. Glad to hear you’ve been able to come out the other side. Much love to you, friend.

Great story and thank you for sharing. The part of you that wanted to beat addiction was stronger than the magnet of addiction. You are a rockstar!

Thank you for watching and your comments

No its much worse with over prescribing of Pregabalin and Zopiclone and Tramadol

@@Nick_80599 please elaborate? one patient waited almost 2 years for Doctor to approve switch from gabapentin to pregabalin. Zopiclone is relatively rare and under prescribed compared to other medications in the same class. Tramadol? There are things you can buy at petrol stations stronger than Tramadol. Most Physicians would agree that none of these medications are as much of health risk as Fentanyl.

Appreciate your comments and watching from overseas. Please share if you can.

I pray for your brother. Sometimes for some people they need to get to the absolute bottom before they change, sometimes not. In Sweden we have the highest overdose deaths in all of Europe, and sadly it will only go up because of nitazenes. I have been addicted to opiates for 5 years and I'm now finally starting to build up my life after my family stopped caring about me. And all my friends stopped caring about me too, I hit absolute bottom. Remember, don't be an enabler but I know that's so hard when you love some one. It's a really thin line between being an enabler and supporter.

Metattem...I don't know if this information will help, but a few years back, I think, I ran across an article, how someone was helped to quit smoking, by adding 1 teaspoon of Creme of Tartar to a full glass of orange juice, drinking it before bedtime. I don't remember how long. The creme of tartar was used to cleanse the blood of nicotine. I've wondered if it would help those on harder drugs get their blood and bodies cleaned out. Do your due research. Hope this helps someone, any one person. God bless.

God will help Please try praying if you're not already 🫂🙏

So they can come in and invade.

I'm happy you're here.

Meth aka jib is cheaper than fentynol Please be honest and talk with your children Prayers for all the families affected by these demons

I understand what you're saying here, but poisoning is murder as well. Say someone spiked your drink with antifreeze and you died. Well, you purposefully drank that drink. So by that merit, the parents saying their kids were murdered are arguing on the stance that their kid didn't knowingly take a lethal dose of fentanyl. They took whatever other substance: Xanax, perc, etc, but were killed by the overdose caused by the fake pills being laced with lethal amounts of fentanyl. This is the same sort of concept as why bartenders can be charged for overserving a customer who then dies of alcohol poisoning. I don't think most cases of an overdose would constitute as a murder, but I can see why the parents may think of it that way and I think certain situations it fits very well. But it's hard to prove and that's why there's hardly any convictions.

That being said, though, the legal term would be considered manslaughter. But the jargon word is still murder. I get what you're saying about that.

​@@sarahr9894 the distinction is that drugs have inherant risk, sunny D does not. When you choose to consume illicit substances, even if it's pure, you can die. I think that's what the original poster is getting at

Thank you so much for sharing with your recovery community and your help with addictions.

i am sorry it is devastating Doctors good ones weaned the patients off especially because they are young and too much life to live. but pain management has other things to help with that especially because she was so young. How did you not know I really want to know

You mean she murdered herself

What is wrong with you?

Man I'm sorry . No words 💔 I've lost 5 in the last 8 yrs to this. Love is what we need.

I'm so so sorry....I'm a recovering addict....I'm doing well ...long time now..I just lost my mom ....so I feel u but I can't imagine....its awful❤❤❤❤

It’s drummed here too, but it’s ignored because the drug culture in America is laxed. Drug education lacks and when it is given its focus is on cocaine, meth, and heroin. Prescription is just glazed over and they are so easy to obtain legally and on the street.

exactly. people want to blame others when the whole reason the drug is in the US is because addicts are asking for it.

@@MrResaleYeah, ppl just medicate w/drugs for absolutely no other reason than to get high. Amazing take

Lol they tried that already. Remember "just say no?" You boomers will NEVER learn.

​@@MrResalecheck out the big brain on you

Middle school actually.

School is a breeding ground for our children Parents should talk honestly with their children before they try experiencing outside the home Haven't we learned from past experience

Et aussi cela fait partie des obligations des parents d'éduquer leurs enfants aux risques et cela bien avant que les écoles le fassent car les écoles n'élèvent pas les enfants mais doivent leur apporter les connaissances le reste est du domaine des parents

It is very obvious that you have never had an addiction or a loved one who has one. Adults who are addicted will ONLY change when THEY want to change. There is absolutely nothing parents, friends, love ones, etc. can do to "help" an addict "get clean." So to flippantly say, "A parent should help them..." comes from a place of total ignorance and lack of empathy. You have NO clue what parents do to HELP their children, NO CLUE!

​Well said. Agreed 💯

​@nataliemartin8288 IN 1964 I was born addicted to barbituites because my Mama had epilepsy. Back then they didn't think what mom takes goes to baby we went withdrawl as newborn babies.

We were lucky we grew up in an era when if you DID decide to try some substance you weren't risking your life....

My doctor told me about her sister, who was a recreational user. And od'd. I live in a small town. Dont do ANY drugs she told me. She was the best doctor... She really cared. Her sister died from doing something many of us did. You know, like we did back then. Friends got together for New Years, and there was a good time had by all. Not anymore. But now that I think about it. Drugs were infiltrating the high schools. How did it get to us? I'm betting that the gov realized along with pharmaceutical industry to get kids hooked early....

True but the federal government could stop most of it if they cared.

Don’t be too cocky, I hope this never affects your family.

It sometimes does happen with one pill cause they are laced

​@donnabaker2287 my thoughts exactly!! 💯

They did say (the coroner) most cases were people who knew they were using fentanyl. They are also these kids/teens/ adultes who wouldnt of ingested the pill knowing it would kill them. Its 2024, do you know what your kids are doing? Do you know who they are hanging out with ? It is completly out of hand. Watch your kids. Its for the sake of their lives.

Weed is hard to believe. How is that even possible? I mean yes it would be easy to do but how would you spread such a small amount over a large area while making sure it's on the weed but not so much that it kills someone who smokes a joint? Edit: I just searched and can't find any actual cases. Seems like an urban legend to scare people

This comment is not accurate

​@@magnumxlpi I agree . However as a smoker and allergic to pain meds, I be very picky who I get it from. Just someone using fentanyl touching it with Thier hands then cutting out you a 20 sac , someone like me could have a reaction. So please be safe. Only buy from smokers that only smoke. I will not even think about a stranger or from someone who uses other drugs . I'm very picky. I smoke for helping chrons by no means ever ever used anything else I'm too scared of having a reaction

@@magnumxlpi Of course, it's nonsense, just like dumb paranoid cops claiming contact overdose when they're just having panic attacks.

@@magnumxlpi It is. It's scare tactics that's been perpetuated by the police and news. You CANNOT smoke fent with direct heat.If you put it into a joint and lit it, it would destroy it. This is why ppl smoke it off of foil with a lighter underneath as it vaporizes it under lower temps. No one is lacing bud with fent cuz its a waste.

and that is the real question....Think about the entire world marching in step when entire countries shut down; it is very possible if they wanted a different outcome.

Fentanyl is what crack was in the 80's.

No governments care about their people, it is only an illusion like freedom.

Yup yup yup. Truth. Open your eyes. This is all deliberate.

How would they stop it?

True miracles you are. Please help fight this poison ❤❤

Sad assumption 😢

I'm 6 month clean of fent bc of suboxone. saved my life

How long have y'all been clean from subs??

@youflaw3285 still on it. my clinic and I have a plan to wean off and they also provide counseling.

I have severe chronic pain for which treatment was through opiates and after my doctor left state back in 2016 another one couldn't be found anymore due to the strict laws, so I was referred to a doctor that prescribed the Suboxone for withdrawals only stopped using it and just allowed myself to withdraw, because personally it made me deathly ill.

Suboxene works for some , not all . Some people can’t handle that and over dose on it too .

Everybody knows this is happening on purpose ... Energy wasting even thinking it's anything but !

I 100% agree. (I live near Whitworth). Less than a mile away -at the "Y"- is a cesspool &, as you know, there are several areas in Spokane just like it. I'm 57yo & it doesn't seem long ago that Spokane was, and was known for, being an ideal place to raise a family & retire. Now I would give both pinky toes and a cpl molars to move to Coeur d'Alene where my son & his family live. I hope to work that out soon.

The West Coast voted for it. You give drug addicts $600+ SNAP. Now they’re pooping in your streets. And Chief Seattle warned us.

How is it up the road in Chewelah?

I wonder how much being a liberal state affects how many drug dealers come in. I believe "illegal" drugs steal lives and should be stopped. (Some liberal groups are always trying to make illegal drugs "recreational" and "legal" with enough signatures from college students. It happened in my area. Now Marijuana is sold next to the high school.) How can you trust anyone selling drugs that those drugs are as advertised and without added fentanyl? You can't, so DON'T. I hope and pray that some young people really wake up and realize they are pursuing a road to Hell by "trying" drugs. Prescription drugs alone poison people! I agree with you. "What a mess."

To a point, I agree with you. The difference is that it's like if a jaywalker gets run down intentionally; there's a difference. And, nobody deserves to die from having some drugs. 😢

I totally agree. I take all the responsibility for my addiction, which was pills. Once you start telling yourself you have a "disease" you will use that as an excuse!

This is a true statement. With that being said that means the same thing goes for the other side of the coin. The people making this drug are knowingly doing it so they catch half the responsibility. The issue is when you start putting an opioid in other drugs that aren’t opiates like cocaine or meth. Or you just flat out make a bunch of counterfeit pills and say they are one drug but actually they aren’t, there just fentanyl. Here’s the issue if your first response to an issue like this is, well they should have been more responsible for their actions. Then you are part of the problem and not the solution

@@stevenmcbride9773 I would never take drugs not prescribed to me, i.e. off the street or from a "friend". I'm too smart to be part of the problem.

no tolerance for first time users, esp if young/ employed, housed, in school etc. we need to teach youngins ways to cope without getting high or drunk

What an incredible journey you have been on and your words have meaning for so many others. Congratulations on the 11.5 years; don't stop fighting for your health.

Yea that works. Have you ever been a young person? Have you ever had friends and socialized? Drugs are everywhere. Just saying "don't do drugs" as a blanket statement sounds good, but it's not practical at all

@@badger297 that is BS. I was young and I had friends and I socialized and never ever did drugs. You and @acajudi100 should watch read and listen this is about poisoning not addiction. Addiction is the result of that choice to say yes the first time.

​@@badger297and that's your excuse? Peer pressure? And no self-accountability? Like this documentary it's all about blaming others, rather than check on your sick society that still, by your premise, considers the use of drugs as a valid recreation activity. Yeah, you ought to say no to drugs if you think your life has some value. But still, this documentary omits purposely to go deep into the stories of the people interviewed in here, because it would be probably very evident the variables of trauma, abuse, and broken families.

@roenlezma9361 I wasn't making an excuse. I was critiquing your point. I've done all this. I was addicted to shooting up heroin and smoking crack for years. Just saying "don't do drugs" as a blanket statement and expecting that to yield positive results is fucking ignorant. Life happens. Shit happens. Sometimes, you may be in a frame of mind other than what you would normally be, and in that state, might make an impulsive decision that will effect the rest of your life. Ita very obvious to me that you haven't lived much life. As, if you had, you'd understand how fucking ascenine that comment was. Best of luck to ya out there bro 👌

Especially alcohol, nicotine or Jesus!

Exactly. But they won't admit they are the problem. Nor will the media.

There the ones bringing it in. Same with the Heroine. Just so happens to be on every street corner after the war in Afghanistan. Richest country in the world and can't secure our borders?

Agreed now is the time to open the eyes of the people that are still alive I don’t know how to do that with ignorance and patriarchal rule in the name of organized religion It’s terrifying to actually see the end goal of old white supremacy and the brutality and oppression of human beings Sad,true and tragic We must take action before we have no choices left Should we run or stand idk I for one am not laying down to this absolutely murderous New agenda Less than human are the entities pushing this on Working people trying to raise their children… What is the fear of women? Just kinda curious about that Been there since the beginning of time Food for Thought Who are they trying to invalidate and why? I’m saying please think Are women barbarians? Ummm fact Thanks for your patience with me

If government isn't working for you, improve government. You have a vote. You can run for office. Just being anti-government is dumb. Guess what we don't have without government? Any restrictions - all drugs become legal, including all trafficking and dealing. Is that what you want? Try working to solve a problem instead of dumb anti-statements. The government here is in an impossible position. Lock up all drug users and society collapses, because that many of us are on drugs. It will bankrupt us and we'll need another 20,000 prisons. Make it legal and instead focus on recovery programs and treatments - it'll account for 90% of the economy. Government isn't the problem. **WE** are the problem. PEOPLE. We KNOW there is a substance out there being laced into everything. Don't take drugs. Don't take a pill from anyone unless it came straight from the CVS store shelf to your hand unopened. This isn't the 70's anymore, and kids need to realize that even half a pill of an unknown substance can kill. That's been known for 20+ years but apparently kids aren't being educated. Too trusting. If it wasn't prescribed by a doctor, and you've solely been responsible for chain of custody, or it came out of a unopened bottle at a store, you don't take it. That simple.

@@Dead_Again1313The media is bought and paid for. The government is too.🇺🇸

Sorry but wrong. It is a North America problem. And do please keep that self-inflicted problem within your own continent.

Nobody is overdosing on opioids within 200 kilometres of an opera house in Europe, I can guarantee that much. And I still don't know why civilised people should care about Trump voters overdosing on drugs.

Nah it’s an American problem

Absolutely 😢

Sorry but Paraguay is confronting their meth and fentynol crisis It's cheaper for the person addicted

So sorry to hear. Our condolences.

So very sorry 😞 😔😢 Prayers for you ❤❤❤

So appreciate your words and the best compliment we could have is to share the film with others. Thank you

It's a open border problem

That's because addiction destroys the neurons in the brain and here's an excellent video of a medical doctor in California whose exposing in detail just exactly what's happening. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x4sRsb0a30Y.html

Obviously you didn't watch this or you did not get the whole point behind this film

We are so appreciative of you not only taking your time to watch the film, but to provide such welcome accolades. Much appreciated.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🩷🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼!!!!! My mother is a recovering addict and an RN who works in psychiatry. She was working in a hospital for the criminally insane and was attacked by a male patient (my mother is TINY and 68). She had to be rushed into surgery where rods were placed in her arm. She refused all pain meds. It really makes you think about how weak we are as a society that we think we need strong opiates for EVERYTHING!

@@jillbunny90 and if your child was in a terrible accident and horribly injured, would you deprive them of adequate pain control? If you say yes, you are a shit mother.

Thank you and we hope this is seen in every household.

This so-called opioid epidemic closed all the pain management facilities, clinics, and most pharmacies for people that are suffering from real pain and need their meds

Don't blame parents for this - that is ridiculous

Do you feel the same way about a friend giving someone one of their pain meds? The person thinks they are taking prescription Percocet or similar just for the family to later find out it was illegal Perc laced with Fentanyl?

@MicheleBrooks6 - taking any drug is a risk. If the pain med wasn't prescribed by a Dr then it's super risky. It's horrible and unfortunate but that is the risk. The friend giving the pill knew it was bought illegally, so they should have shared that information but even if they didn't, we all know the risk of taking meds that are not prescribed to us. Legitimate pain meds in America are not laced with fentanyl when they come from a pharmacy.... full stop. If you buy on the street, you have no idea what you are getting, regardless of what the drug claims to be. Yes, the friend should have told the person he gave it to, that he/she bought it illegally but there is a huge voluntary assumption of risk, whenever you imbibe a drug that is not prescribed to you and warnings about this all over pill packets and public health announcements. This is hammered into kids at school. You can't call it murder when the person who dies voluntarily takes the drug. Where is their responsibility in all this? Also, kids know the risks but they have zero capacity for consequential thinking or risk analysis. Ultimately, they think they are invincible and that it won't happen to them. Education is just a small part of the picture but I guarantee that most people know the risks and do it anyway...I did.

​@@MicheleBrooks6 It's important to teach children/teenagers that they should *never* accept medication that (a) wasn't prescribed to them, or (b) wasn't their own medication. It's too risky otherwise.

There are movies about it. Like them coming clean makes it all okay. It doesn’t

Yeah and Nitizenes. We are in trouble. I’m an addict and scared to death of getting tranq. Rotten skin oh my lord.

I've lost three childhood friends so far. Its truly horrifying. Why can't they just ban china's exporting of those chemicals to Mexico or something? I don't know. Something has to be done.

​@@MyOwnPersonalFantasy answer your question its because fentanyl has to be part of human nature. cocaine wasnt enough and then came crack, heroin wasnt enough and then big pharm/the Sackler family. Fentanyl took it back to the underground. We as humans are not only killing the earth greed, we have to kill ourselves with drugs too. We got north korea, muslim nations with nukes, russia ect. lets not forget the whole covid thing. We as humanity are doomed.

So appreciate the accolades from our new German friend, especially knowing you are in the business. Please take a look at our WWII POW doc on our channel, 25 Steps. released 6 years ago on DDay.

@@MountainTimeMedia Hi! 👋 Thx for the nice reply 🙏 And I really mean it, this was by far the best documentary I‘ve ever seen about the Fentanyl epidemic and I‘ve seen A LOT of them! Regarding the „25 Steps“ documentary: I already have seen it, another masterpiece of y‘all! 👏🙏 I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see to see another documentary of you guys. „Honor to whom honor is due“, and that‘s why I did write my comment cause I mean it that way. Being a videographer (or cameraman or video operator) and also a video editor for so many years I really appreciate when my eyes do see a great documentary or whatever it may be. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

Thank you for watching and please share if possible.

It's nothing like it was when we were kids. It's scary.

Well said Jake, it isn't "party time" anymore... and trust me, I grew up in the 60's and experienced it all... (Vietnam Vet) This is right out of the movie "Sicario" or "No Country For Old Men". Spread the word to your friends.

Our military needs to get involved, block the border and set up check points on the roadways!! It’s infuriating that nothing is being done. I read today that our military trained over 10,000 Mexican to stop drugs coming across the border and they went back to Mexico and joined the cartel. 😡😡

@@bbe3034 You cannot stop the drug trade. It would take blockiong 75% of the stuff coming in to make any real impact, and that is impossible to do..

@@bbe3034 how mad would you be at America-if you were Mexican if we didn’t have a thirst for drugs the cartel would be out of business. This has destroyed Mexico as well. Great government we have

Kids think they are bulletproof. There will always be experimentation with drugs to numb this fast paced world out of their minds. If you think people should die because they are being young and stupid, you are wrong.

I share your view! I was thinking about that while I was watching the documentary. It's the never ending story that the forces of evil encarnated in the ones we consider the villans of the story are the only ones responsibles for all that's wrong. And it is valid to look to ourselves deeply and answer the difficult questions and deal with consequences of actions on what have done poorly or what has to change in us.

Voue avez raison. Personne n'est obligé de prendre ces drogues et si on n'en prend on en est responsable. Ce n'est pas parce que la "mort-aux-rats" existe que je dois en prendre. Je ne suis pas triste pour ceux qui choisissent de se droguer, je suis triste pour les enfants qui viennent au monde malades et aussi pour les adultes qui souffrent et n'en sont pas responsables mais je n'ai aucune pitié pour ceux qui choisissent de se droguer

Sorry you went through that and sorry for the young girl. It's heartbreaking

So sorry as that is a traumatic experience that no one should witness.

Thank you for sharing the information with your son. That is what we all need to do to keep our kids from this drug.

Thank you and please share if you can.

and the 1 million fent junkies will just stop using the drug because its not made in mexico, right..... horrible logic and irrelevant solution.

Thinking the border will change anything, there are 1 million + fent addicts. Do you think they will just stop. The american people need to be outraged with the addicts who bring this demand to the US and solve that problem otherwise it will just be made somewhere else and brought in.

Lol. Americans are the ones smuggling it across the border. Trump voters are clueless.

Wrong

Hope you can get our numbers up Brandon. thanks

@@MountainTimeMedia I was wanting to share this on Truth Social from here but you notice it is not shareable. to TS......

This has been an all out WAR since the year 2ooo . Kicked off by Drs way over prescribing, then cutting people off after they've become addicted, so the demand for street drugs become huge, state/ federal regulated clinics that distribute drugs to addicts at a discount. Which made the drugs companies and Drs even more wealthy. And now this drug has been brought in to feed the 3 generations of pill addicts, basically genocide if that population of people. As well as young people just experimenting...... The drug companies shouldn't be producing this much more in excess of what's needed.. used to be regulated

Drs and drug companies don't get held accountable. That's why we all here . Because Drs lawyers judges and drug companies have the power to do this for years to make money on all sides from the cost of the drugs , to the continuous treatment needed as well as fines and fees in court. Not to mention kickbacks from the prison companies to stay full

Over 200k in a week.

BS…..no doctor is going to tell you that. Medicine doesn’t even work that way. Doctors don’t give you fentanyl right off the rip because of the overdose danger. They start with a no narcotic first like NSAIDs and usually move on to morphine. Under a controlled hospital setting, all pain meds are safe.

Thank you for your comments.

The fentanyl you received in the hospital is NOT the fentanyl on the street. They have been using medical grade fentanyl WITHOUT devastating social issues for years. Let's stop confusing the two. Same as calling a pill with oxycodone a "perk"". This lingo is part of the problem. You received a medical grade controlled narcotic under supervision of medical professionals, not even close to try and find a comparison to a street made pill. I spent 6 years addicted to fentanyl patches and oxycodone, and it only took me 4 months on "street fent" to decide the risk was no longer worth the reward and put myself into recovery. Thanks for sharing your experience but unfortunately this is not what your street addict experiences.
