Read the full story cbsn.ws/3NQRi6P ... CBS News Colorado reporter Alan Gionet discusses the new drug that was spotted in Boulder that's reportedly stronger than fentanyl.
I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. Spent my whole life fighting fentanyl addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
This crap has been in Philly and Boston for the past few years. Injectors end up losing their limbs, is horrible, also Narcan doesnt kick you out of an OD
it disturbs me theres so much help&resources for addicts and essentially none for the severe/chronic pain patients who are being left without medication bc of what the addicts did.They dont even help the community they destroyed,they actually speak out against anyones pain being treated bc they lied,manipulated the system&abused medication. I cant believe how wrong&backwards this world is.
You're absolutely right! People with legit pain like myself cannot get the help we need because of what is happening on the streets and doctor now fear they will get in trouble for helping you properly!
@@mycinnamongirlscrew that, I know of so many who had back operations that only made their pain worse. The problem is doctors cutting people off and not having them supervised tapering, they stop cold turkey and the pain is exacerbated by withdrawal. I blame the medical community not the addicts! 😡
Where do you think the addicts came from? Many were chronic pain victims as well... They resort to street drugs. No offense, I agree that adults should be allowed their drugs, but opiates as a solution for chronic pain is... Addiction to the substance.
They've been poisoning us thru our food and tap water for decades and nobody has drawn a line yet?...why would drugs be any different? They want us dumbed down, drugged, sick...it makes it easier for them to control us and depopulate ourselves by addiction at the same time.
I don’t know where you got that idea because I haven’t seen that kind of attitude anywhere. If people are unhappy in their lives, and do drugs and it makes them feel great. They are going to go back and do it again and again.. maybe we should ask why people in our society crave these drugs, so they can escape life. I was taught that life is hard, but I’m not sure generations after mine were taught the same thing, and when they hit real life and realize it is not fun and games, some people seek an escape. Overuse of alcohol and petty crimes have been with humanity for centuries.
@@Wisepati but just the same, NOT abusing alcohol and petty crimes have been with humanity for centuries, too. Stop trying to rationalize their behavior as normal reactions.
Unfortunately, we are witnessing an increasing number of patients, not just from Colorado but from all over the country, experiencing the devastating physical effects of fentanyl mixed with Xylazine. It is imperative that we put a stop to the influx of these drugs into our country, as they are causing the loss of lives among our citizens.
@@christopherberg4731 to late already lived it. It was a long lingering death and you just can't make someone stop it they don't want to. They know what they want so let them have it.
@@christopherberg4731 you wanted to get clean and so you did. No one can force some one to do it. The rest of us get stuck taking care of his obligations he abandoned and will be for the rest of our lives.wish people cared about the victims of druggies. Like there kids.
@@bombaybeach208 They don't understand is, that the "Good feeling" is in the Body, not in the drug. With the drug they are able to take out these Energy, and lose Control of their Power.
Every drug user who gets caught should be forced to clean the city they reside in for 3 months or 500 hours of clean up service this country would be the cleanest country in the world
Here at my house, when the trash takes itself to the door opens it and puts itelf in the dumpster I look the other way and congratulate it on a job well done.
I'm 45, had a head collision a yr ago. Ugly back hip and knee pain. Pain treatment center said I had used all benefits covered by insurance who's driver caused the accident, the next level of pain killer was fentanyl and they said it was ok to use. I said no thanks. I walked out, cancel their svc with my attorney and keep on looking for alternative treatment. 5 herniated disc and 3 nucleus ruptures. We can't meds just because the so call pain specialist is giving it to you. Research and make choices. I might walk worst than my 94 yr old grandma cause I'm in pain, but a I'm alive and drug free.
That’s interesting. I was in a bad car accident. Lots of back injuries. The pain clinic I went to wouldn’t even prescribe any narcotics. And apparently that’s the norm so I’ve been told. I live in Michigan though. I’m sure each state does things different.
I quit Oxicondon in 2015, with Mj oil, always criminal.... Now they wanted to give me fentanyl because I had a tumor on my tonsils. In the hospital, after chemotherapy, I was in a hallucination, for hours. I'm back with mj oil, the cancer is gone so far. That was 3 years ago. Colorado should pull the addict out of this hallucination, that's possible with mj oil. And finally, make it accessible so that it comes to an end. Against Zombieland. Wake and bake..
SAW THIS HORRIBLE DRUG IN PUERTO RICO AROUND 1999 I WAS A KID AND SAW THE ZOMBIES PEOPLE ROTING ALIVE AND STILL CHASING THE DRUG I SAW A MAN THAT LOST BOTH HIS LEGS AND KEPT GETTING HIGH .
It's been happening in Kensington for over three years now! They say the open sales part of that town smells like piss, 💩 and rotting flesh! There's a girl right now on one of those Kensington channels that will loose her leg if she doesn't get help and she's on the streets In a wheelchair dieing!
bro i used to live in isla verde same time period. i saw the same S i was like 7 the first time i saw a dude with no legs holding a sign that said " tengo sida necesito dinero " and he would slide up to your car on some modified wheelchair and try to squeegie your ride with some dirty water.
@@doctorlove-robinsontheseco818 its sad that society has given uphope these individuals will ever be useful to society again. Next on the burn list is pets. I want yearly taxes on pets or simply tax the living hell out of pet food so people can no longer afford to have pets. People should be investing in people not dogs and cats. Lol my neighbors hate me because I moved into a new development and refuse to pay for any fence. Why should I subsidize you owning a pet. If you cannot afford to put up a fence around your whole property then maybe you shouldnt have bought it or simply get rid of the dogs.
@@thedude5040 I agree. That's why I hate seeing homeless people with animals or pregnant homeless. Like homie you can't even afford to take care of yourself and you're bringing in another mouth to feed.
Many involved in mental health jobs are crazy. I have plenty of first hand experience. It really does take one to know one lmao It still important we find people we can talk to, and if we can’t, Just look around at different “professionals” eventually you will meet one, or someone who will help. I don’t wanna make people believe they don’t need help. I thought that for a long time and now I don’t even recognize the person I am sometimes.
As a generation Xer with a younger daughter. I noticed many grandparents taking care of their grandkids or even adopting them because their moms or dads were drug addicts. I found it odd that all the younger moms (25-32) were absent and could not take care of their kids. I’m 53 and I had a sober and good solid mom - and I am the same. I live in Colorado - just say no to drugs kids. You don’t want your future stolen by some Chinese or Mexican drug lord. Wake up people.
So the White people are not allowing the drugs in? CIA, the government run agency, has been working with drug lords from all countries for a long time. But if Americans weren't overly medicated and trying to escape there would be no drug demand. The demand drives the business.
@gregd4633 Americans get it on both ends. Legal drug overlords and illegal drug overloads. But they key is the government agencies allowing it to happen. Pharmaceutical companies are killing Americans everyday by drugs or by raising prices so high that they can not afford to live.
Don't forget them government regulations, allowing the pharmaceutical companies fined pennies-on-the-dollar. And keep their doors open. keep selling that Pharmaceutical Band-Aid medicine. Never a cure what keeps you coming back
I grew up in Colorado and used to do a lot of drugs. The fact now is you can’t buy anything off the streets are because who knows what’s in it. Not saying the drugs I got back in the day were clean. It just worries me because my brother has a 12-year-old daughter out there and I really hope she doesn’t start getting curious for all the young ones out there it’s not worth it. If celebrities are dying, because this stuffs in their drugs. Your gonna get the same or worse
Exactly. Im scared to get a simple oxycodone from street cause afraid its fake w fentanyl in it instead. Cause they press them to look exactly like a oxycodone or a percocet which aint cool at all. I dont have the tolerance for fentanyl. I only want oxy.
@Not Sure Read the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. He talks about such a drug and mentions it quite a few times in his book. I believe he called it soma. 😀
@@alexpeterson5829 Soma's are the best I had one of those one time and wanted more but my ex drug dealer didn't have anymore but wow those are the best. It's even better then weed. Hopefully they still prescribe it for back pain lol
Yeah tranq became a thing back before 2020 in Philly. Which was pretty much ground zero for this dangerous cocktail. I was snorting it and thankfully got out before it destroyed my skin. 24 year addiction with almost 4 years clean. It's possible!
In the 70's PCP or "Angel Dust" was the animal tranquilizer that endangered us, and now this poison. It's never ends. I'm so grateful to our creator that I got clean and have stayed clean for 9 plus years. I wish that misery on no human
I don't keep up with how much time I have been clean. But it's been for a little less time then you have. But what matters is that we are both clean. And I give Jesus all the glory and praise 🙏. Keep going forward and never look back.
Harm reduction ? Omg 😮 how about 40 year mandatory minimum sentences for dealers of these deadly drugs ? Hugggh 😮? Whole segment is a lesson on how to be completely ineffective, while walking the walk and talking the talk …😂
Absolutely untrue to say incredibly stiff sentences are not effective . Also to broadly not differentiate between what offenses ….is basically ,not even discussing the topic . A- the dudes off the street for 45 years ! That’s an accomplishment, believe me . Next guy you say shows up on corner 45 years ! Why is that ineffective ? Also the sit back and say nothing works hugggh . Is saying who cares if boatloads of the most powerful and deadly drug are literally flooding America and killing young Americans and decimating families and members lives ten fold ….spreading through the family and economically as well . Economically affecting America as a nation as well .meanwhile all the cash and mega proceeds for drug sales go back to a foreign country - Mexico , Colombia etc etc . dude we NEED TO DO SOMETHING….even if it failed in past . It’s that bad . This chemical , and drug plague is the largest and most deadly in world history ! Hello ?
Darwin's theory contemplates survival of the fittest and death to the unfit. The unfit eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival.
@@LSD1448 ur point is? Because really nobody cares for them they just a bunch of useless addicts society doesn't need or want. U live next to them and watch ur stuff disappear because of their drug addiction ways.
😑Most of these "new drugs" can be manufactured from the very industrialized chemicals underneath American kitchen sinks that also give off the zombie effect.
Actually a lot is being done. The first most important thing is to get Tranj listed as a class 1. Right now it’s legal because it’s only classified for animals. Also DOJ just indicted Chinese chemical company supplying Mexico. States are developing tests that can detect it because up until now, it was only used on animals. Please stop dooming and roll up yr sleeves and help out!
If you ban it, it’ll all vanish. Just like meth, cocaine, weed, and everything else did. I don’t even know what they are, since they exited the universe when they banned them.
wait until you get deeply depressed or something horrible happens to you in life. dont be surprised when you are hooked on a drug and even more fucked up than people on the street. thats a rookie immature statement you made champ
Variation and selection. Risk takers and unfortunate people are often unfortunately the same people we will need as things continue to change for all of us from AI to climate change.
This has been around my city for the past 18 months maybe 2 yrs. In my city they cut fentanyl with it. It causes that flesh eating bacteria if you keep missing your shot.
I’m from the ill, north by Kensington. The badlands. And you ain’t getting it from just smoking shit or doing shit, former addict here you don’t get maggots and flesh eating bacteria from not shooting up. If he had maggots and shit growing on him it’s cause he either shot up and got infected or motherfucker had a cut or wound that got dirty from living in the streets and started dying
This is how ridiculously strict drug use laws lead to stronger more deadly substances. The fentanyl issue took off after the ridiculous & unwarranted attack on prescription pain meds, which of course ONLY caused harm to legitimate pain patients & those with OUD who could no longer get regulated safe prescription pain meds... Alcohol prohibition-seriously the BEST lesson. Just unsure why no one seemed to learn it🙄...
I agree Draconian drug laws helped to spur the fentanyl crisis. Smugglers constantly looking for ways to evade detection consider fentanyl a perfect product, since it's cheap to produce and much easier to hide than most drugs.
Could not agree more. I can personally name 20 people that were on legitimate pain medications, lost them over some nonsense, went out on the streets, and ended up dead. Not upset, not hurting more, DEAD. There is no making that right. They have absolutely filled graveyards with people that didn’t need to die. It’s infuriating.
That is almost the exact way I ended up buying heroin on the street after being cut off a pain med script I had for around 3 years. Sounds extreme to do something like that when not allowed medication but it happened to me. I'm not trying to blame anyone else, it could of happened regardless of if I was cut off pain meds but I'd never expect to jump so quickly to something legal and "safe" to hanging around with homeless people and criminals daily.
The real reason fentanyl is such a big problem is because it’s fully synthetic. To make heroin, you have to grow opium poppies which can take a while and the cartels would run the risk of having their crops destroyed by the mexican police and military. To make fentanyl, they don’t have to grow anything. They just import chemicals from China and make it in a lab which isn’t even sophisticated. If one lab gets taken down then another one pops up. It’s really easy for the cartels to make compared to other drugs like cocaine, heroin, and marijuana where you have to grow a plant first. Plus it’s super addictive and there’s a huge demand for it. The cartels are making easy money off it so they have an incentive to keep flooding the United States with it.
The war on drugs has been going on for decades and has only gotten worse. Extremes on both ends will forever play tug-of-war but there is only one answer...make them legal and regulate and tax them. Nothing else will work for very long if at all.
3 grains of sand worth of fetanyl is all it would take to kill some people, that could be left behind anywhere in a park in the grass, on a bench, on table, etc and you want that to be legal??? Fuck that. They need to lock up dealers of this crap for life without the possibility of parole for murder and complete disregard of human life. The victims not only include the drug users but innocent bystanders (sometimes even kids, toddlers, and infants) who unknowingly come across the stuff.
@@jeffreyb8770 The problem in Portland is that they also decriminalized all crime in general. If you harm yourself, that’s fine, if you harm so one else, then you need jail time. And no Narcan, learn life lessons the hard way.
Yep, Portland has made it a non crime to openly use very harmful drugs...how's that working out? I was born in Portland long before it became the Detroit of the Pacific NW. Homelessness is off the charts and drug related crimes and deaths have risen dramatically just in the last 5 years. Tent cities where the local government provides tents to the street dwellers who create filthy trash strewn messes who in many instances choose that lifestyle of government assistance and the ability to pop a tent and openly use harmful drugs next to a school or residential area without consequence or law enforcement stepping in. Without question, Portland Oregon is one of the worst cities to live a life or own a business in the entire United States. Long time businesses are leaving in a mass exodus due to constant theft and vandalism fueled by the government subsidized street dwellers looking to score some quick cash to feed their addictions. Portland Oregon is a total dumpster fire.
It starts with alchohol, the original killer addiction. So powerful that it had to be made legal in order to stop bathtub gin ( many people died from it due to it being mixed with deadly chemicals) during prohibition.
They never made alcohol illegal in Europe. Somehow they managed to muddle through. And prohibition was the catalyst to starting most of the organized crime in this country..
Good - the OD rates on fentanyl have been slowing down. We need to clear the streets of these people - hoping this new drug can't be countered by Narcan.
Boulder eh? Makes sense considering most people in the area fall into the demographic that ridiculed me for taking "horse dewormer", as if they didn't make that stuff for humans as well, and saying I'm gonna die of the rona. So here we are a few short years later and those same people are dying from this crap that is made specifically for horses so I'm not sure if I would call that irony or poetic justice.
Looks like our teachers are doing a great job of raising our youth. Shout out to the woke teachers. Great job. Our youth thank you for all you are doing. Here is your .
how so, not everyone who uses drugs is a bad person, drug use isnt inherently a bad thing, alcohol for example is a far deadlier more problematic substance than opioids would ever be. lets start with banning alcohol, oh right we tried that and it worked sooo well.
@@noahsaville it has nothing to do with being good or bad. But everything to do with stupidity. We ALL know street drugs aren't safe and if you're willing to risk your life then so be it. #Eugenics
@@lisarose-iv7cx It is only 'street drugs' because people are not allowed to make it legally for recreational use, so people can get cleaner versions of it. Not really a fan of any drugs anymore however there is a big problem with people doing legal drugs and looking down on those who may not like alcohol, but prefer cannabis/opioids or w/e.
We act like this airborne and we can't control it.... its easy dont do it enough said.... we make so many excuses in today's society... im fat but i don't want to eat healthy or workout okay what do you want us to do .... conform to your warped reality and thinking?
There must be an antidote because I had a friend who used this to knock out deer to remove velvet. He told me years ago that if you "scratch yourself with rompun" you have to race to take whatever was sold to farmers to save themselves.
screw u. all it takes is one good person to use for 3-4 days and bam they have a full physical addiction. u couldn’t last a day in withdrawl that starts just after 4 hours of usinh
More than sores! It rots flesh to the bone, which is visible, literally. I have not seen them in person, though i have been in the streets, just years since that and not around for this. But God, is it awful.
I shouldn't have found this funny but as a Colorado local that left due to the massive influx of terrible people relocating after legalization which completely ruined the state, I found this hilarious.
@@kieranstyx3633 Laughter is good for the soul. I am a life long dem and technically I should not be saying it.... but we did cause the problem... didn:t we. Thanks for laughing
Let them lull themselves. Sticking a fork in an outlet hurts like hell and could kill you, don’t hear too many people doing that everyday,, these people want to get high, if they die doing so be it. You got money for the drug addicts, give it to the elderly, pay for their prescriptions. To hell with the druggies.
And you'll see the impact on your community while local resources drained like hospitals. Just remember your attitude on the situation. It's beyond your mental comprehension
There is alot more to the issue than u understand, addicts are not bad ppl, and deserve a chance to turn their life around many can and go ahead to live great amd productive lifes ,everyone os different amd everyone handles things differently, if this was your child or someone you love ,you would not be saying this .
@Boojyman There's probably little doubt that both women are ex-drug users and the negative experience from their drug habit made them want to help others to kick drugs as well. I doubt very much that they're strung out on drugs anymore, but all their past drug use makes them look that way.
