A story of one family's loss to fentanyl poisoning.
Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

She is absolutely right about declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass distraction. Everything she said in the last couple of minutes gave me chills and made me angry all at once because she is right and our government will never do anything to stop this crisis

Definitely, government is responsible in a way. They cut off alot of pharmaceutical needs for people who needed help. I know because I've been there. I was cutting food for a dinner we had at home and I cut off part off my thumb. Not even that emergency with my blood still pouring from cut was not enough for any pain meds. Was just given Tylenol. Government will not help. They know where the drugs are coming from, all the way from China. As a native who understands the deceit of government, just want to let you know I understand your frustration and betrayal of the system.

It seems like anxiety is at the root of so many people who become addicted. I'm 70 years old and I've struggled with anxiety my entire life, it's a very unpleasant experience. When I was22 someone gave me a valium and it was the first time I was free of anxiety, it was a wonderful feeling. I get why people use drugs and alcohol. I'm so glad I didn't let it become a habit because I know I have very little willpower. I'm grateful I hate the taste of alcohol. Any substance would be tough to kick, including over eating. We need to have compassion for ourselves and each other.

She is not a great speaker, just a sad and frustrated adult rant something beyond her control. Sorry to say this, but you cannot just use those wars to justify our action and demand others to heed our demands. They are nations with different way of living. We LOST Afghanistan, we only make the Muslim world hate us for our action in the middle east. Fentanyl was also illegally manufactured in China set up by the international mafias/cartel, our recent hostility with CCP has cause them to not care about those fentanyl illegally distributing outside of China as it is not their problem, they don't have to bow down to us so irresponsible mothers like you can play ignorance. I think this mother is completely naïve thinking that eradicating the cartel will stop the fentanyl overdose, the Mexicans cartel was destroyed, break up only to create even more cartel. What we need is acceptance, we need to be more open on taking drugs rather than being forced to keep it a secret. Your daughters made a choice of not telling you about her drug abuse, it must has been something traumatic to start such activity. You should understand this, YOU FAILED as a mother, you must have did something to make her drug habit a secret. We have to be open about drug abuse, accept and help instead of shame. Drug shouldn't be illegal as long as the use is controlled.

this mom is a really smart mom. the second she found out her daughter was on drugs she shipped her away to a facility and only visited her on the weekends. she did not take it lightly and acted fast. her daughter was on sports again and doing great after that. I love everything else she says. im autistic and my biological mom is all over the news for being arrested hundreds of times. when I was a teenager I got lost in my own world. People could tell there was something wrong with me. my teachers, family, ect did nothing. in my early 20s I snapped out of it and became normal again. I diagnosed myself with autism in my early 30s. I saw psychriatrists about it and some of them didnt even let me finish talking. I've been diagnosed with schitophrenia, an anxiety disorder, some psychriastrists said there was nothing wrong with me despite my history of severe mental illness. AMERICANS ARE THE FIRST ONES WHO NEED TO PRIOEITIZE MENTAL HEALTH AND SPEND WAY MORE RESOURCES ON IT!!! it continues to get stigmatized and not even get addressed!! The mom is right there's a lot that Americans need to eradicate! other countries don't even have half our problems and surveys show people lead a higher quality of life in those countries. now we're having a fetynol crisis(among the zillions of other ones) and as the Mom says it continues to get ignored!!

Absolutely!! New laws need to be put in order to save our future!!! My baby sister passed away August 2018. She was in a automobile accident that broke her jaw causing her mouth to be wired shut. Which lead to bunch of pain pills. Later on levitating to hard drugs. Five months after my dad passed away my niece found her mom curled up in the corner of the bedroom deceased. Toxicology report confirmed fentanyl meth heroin gabapentin. Absolute the hardest year of my life!!!

i agree. america needs to wake up and realize mental health is one of the biggest problems here. i myself am a former addict and it took my best friend whom i used to party with all the time to die from weed laced with fentanyl to realize i can’t keep doing this. sadly losing her was enough for me and i was strong enough to quit myself. i miss her very much again me and her were very depressed grew up in a abusive homes. i feel if it was easy to get insurance and not just pay out of pocket for anything mental health related (her parents would decline all the time when she would ask to see a therapist because they would have to pay for it) , things could’ve went another way for her…

Leslie is spot on about the government’s choice not to declare this an emergency. Perhaps when it hits someone’s child that is in politics something will change. As much as I wish the country would take a stand with Mexico, there is nothing in it for our politicians. Mexico doesn’t have fossil fuels for us to buy and make deals for like the countries in the Middle East. Maybe it will take families like Marrissa’s to do what the government won’t. So sorry for your loss and the loss Marissa’s daughter will feel not getting to truly know their mother. ❤

I believe our president has a son going through addiction and he passed the law the first day in for the system to carry on with letting the people from outside our boarder gain access to stop the title 42 but our government had a judge like the red ppl had it stopped and want to have control to stop people gaining access to health care and education so now people will have no choice but to gain access illegal ways and they will bring drugs to survive and our drug problem will continue for ever and the government wants to kill us off especially the blue ppl we are trash to the rich ppl basically it's all bad and we should pass a petition to get drugs legalized and have it sold safely to of age people with true reasons at a higher cost not for free anymore and taxed to make money bc our country is suffering bad and going straight down hill. Plus if ppl had to pay regular prices to not die they would most likely not consume it being there's a chance they will die would denture them but the prices are very very low like one dollar a pill for a death sentence it's a shame it has got out of control and I'm worried for my own kids understand I have five kids and they have already been informed of these deadly drugs and I'll keep on doing my work to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best and may the women passed away from this death sentence pill and not even a drug anymore she may rest in peace and hope her family the most beautiful and strong sides to continue this fight and help rally the ppl to help to get this death sentence put down for good . And being the drugs are coming from China we should america stop buying good from China and put a stop to the government working with chica bc they are the real enemy not the ppl fleeing their country from the drugs and gangs who are lined up at the border with new born babies freezing to death burning plastic to stay warm this is not good for our future and I hope the president Mr. Biden runs again next yr to continue his fight to save this country and our fellow border towns like Mexico . Also last but not least America should become co existent with Mexico and we should be named americona and it should be we're all one country and the cartel needs to be moved over next to China so they can keep on doing what they do best . Just my opinion maybe I'm wrong but hell if it's never tried who will have a chance no I no us not anyone we all are suffering period and fyi COVID came from China if I'm correct so why are they allowed to come here ?? They should be banned not our ppl living next door if they gave us COVID we would have had it way back when the cartel first started many many yrs ago so do the math it's not mathing!!! And wake up we need to support our president and help him to fight the battle with Congress who truly has power basically and they don't care about us they only care of they money and they will continue to hurt everyone below and next to them. Amen sending prayers for everyone and sorry such long post . I'm tired of the crap out kids face and us humans were all like living inhumane and we need help from the government to get it together ASAP!!

Naloxone is the active ingredient in Narcan and is also available in many generics as a nasal spray. In fact, the brand name Kloxxado delivers a higher dose of naloxone than Narcan (Kloxxado-8mg per dose, Narcan-4mg per dose). Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available in the brand name Narcan or generic versions available for free. It is important to recognize that Naloxone is the drug, Narcan is just a brand name. Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.

Alternate perspective: The issue isn't Fentanyl- that's just the symptom of the underlying problem. The issue is why anyone takes drugs to start with. What parents really need to know is what warning signs to look for that their child has a potential for doing drugs, prevention rather than trying to address something after the problem started or got out of control. Narcan isn't the answer, it's a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

I guess we need to have more communication with our neighbours, be in contact with our community, know all the friends. Let them know dont trust NOBODY but your family that loves you.
