Weed isn’t even weed anymore. It’s something else. So be careful!
😡🤢🤮
One must grow ones own weed in ones own back yard!
Over 100,000 overdose deaths a year in US alone 😢
Yet billions for Ukraine.
Arrête de mettre dans le marché des affaires de drogue poison mortelle!!!!
Franchement! 🤢😷
🚫💊💉⚗️🚫
Ils dits dit non, mais les personnes dit oui.
Another reply disappeared before I could answer, and now it’s not here. Anyway….
Je ne comprende tout les temps. But quand les soleil dit bonjour aux montagnes, je pensequevaisette avec vous.
It only takes one pill, don’t end up being a face on that wall and parents talk to you kids about the dangers of fentanyl.
She was popping fentanyl while pregnant? What a sicko.
We need to be proactive. You’re hacking at branches, strike at the root.
Democrats can’t wash the blood off their hands 🙄 the open border is killing people amd its YOUR fault!
Slow down there Tex.. Nobody is forcing their hand to their mouth.
The blue wave, America last agenda doing its job!
drug smugglers love biden’s open border policies
Aside from not killing children in cages, what is Biden doing differently?
Bust ‘em
So basically if you moving weight don’t use social media to brag about it
I think the government is surveilling citizens through their phone
Absolutely they are! In several different ways. Tracking, listening, watching, and who knows what else!
Justice for Illegal Drug Addict’s!✊
Yass Kween!!
🤡
How many get a way ?
?!(e. Make it legal
High school kids ruin the fent from the border to San Antonio. Kids aren’t punished, just sent back to school with regular kids
Just say no.
It’s hard to
For some people it is. It’s important to teach children at a young age how to control their impulses and emotions. Then they become adults who have an easier time saying “no”.@@bribri6985
But she wanted it
They want you dead,,
Remember Biden loves you and is taking care of our country 😂😂😂😂😂😂
President Biden never said he loves you.
@@johnwattdotcahe only loves you
Facts. Thank God we have President Biden, and not that orange clown who allowed thousands of Americans to die during the pandemic. Fat-Nixon is probably getting rich off of fentanyl when he isn’t using it himself.
@@bribri6985 I don’t talk about love and politics. That makes you a trans-voter.
65.000 Americans died of drug overdose under Donald trump.. Real truth facts! 🔍
i think ziplock is in on it too, dealers use the ziplocl bags. look at dealers and manufacturers and blame china again hahaha
China wants to destroy American society
IT’s chemical warfare 100%. The people who deal it are pure evil. The stuff is poison.
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic piperidine opioid drug primarily used as an analgesic.
According to Health Canada, fentanyl is ’20 to 40 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine’.
Its primary clinical utility is in pain management for cancer patients and those recovering from painful surgeries.
Fentanyl is also used as a sedative.
Depending on the method of delivery, fentanyl can be very fast acting and ingesting a relatively small quantity can cause overdose.
Fentanyl works by activating μ-opioid receptors.
Fentanyl is sold under the brand names Actiq, Duragesic and Sublimaze, among others.
America made it legal to get high…
If they legalized everything it would keep the slimy people at bay if there’s no money to be made
Ugh, that poor mother. You can tell it’s nearly unbearable for her to talk about. Sending you all my Love momma bear, stay strong and I’m so sorry for your loss ❤❤
They did police work? I’m shocked 😲
She obviously wanted to get high…she is her own responsibility🙄
I love how they act like the dealer Force the pills into the people’s throats. They should be more enraged about how doctors are treating law-abiding citizens who are in deep physical pain and can only get a weak pain reliever mixed with tylenol. I can barely get out of bed in the morning and not only are no tests being run to see the cause I had to fight with him to get that weak pain reliever. Every time I hear about something like this I always tell myself how I’d like to get my hands on them. CVS can now stop your meds out of the blue if they questioned it so I had to change pharmacies and all is well after a hellish week trying to put it right
Police work is easy when criminals post self-incriminating evidence on social media. LOL.
She was 20? She must of had all of her babies in one month
She only had the one.
Expect more of this to keep happening with Bidens open borders since that’s where it’s coming from.
Snapchat needs to be sued and Instagram facebook
Supply and demand!
Not for long if dealers keep killing their customers.
These people know the risk and continue to roll the dice
Authorities are the reason why it’s there in the first place. Stop drug trafficking at the border, not when it’s already on the streets.
That is not the police job but Biden’s and he wants those crossers so they will vote for him.
But you dems let over a million illegal immigrants cross the border with criminal records where they came from 🤷🏽♀️
Still makes terrible decisions
Nbc don’t care if they did they would do the story on the border causing Fentyal to flow In
At this point, you should just assume that any drug you buy on the street is spiked with fentanyl or worse. Not even weed is safe anymore, because there’s too much of a risk that it’s been dusted with K2 or Spice.
Take down the little pushers, while the real criminals Mayorka and Joe Biden have kept the border open for fentanyl to pour through. Fkn geniuses ?
Maybe the borders should be closed but Obiden wants to hold an open border marathon so he can cheat in the next election too.
Sure they did….
MSM: “why, is this happening, so tragic”.
MSM: “on the next segment, why completely open borders is good thing!”
Your government hates you, and the MSM is the enemy of the people
you can thank democrats for the fentanyl
Another delusional Trump supporter.
Fentanyl seizures have risen 480% since 2020. A few days ago, the USBP sector leading in drug interdiction ceased checkpoint operations to address the migrant surge. This, ONLY DAYS after a significant Fentanyl+Meth seizure on I-19, north the Nogales POE.
USBP has pulled its community liaisons, social media administrators, and Intel agents to help process migrants. Fair to say, most USBP in Arizona are no longer countering human/drug smuggling. They are now bus drivers, luggage handlers, travel agents, and child care providers. Thanks, Joe!
You see how gow scared and incompetent the law is. They just busted them by accident. They’re allowed to sell online and not checked she says.
Chemical warfare is correct.
All you’ve got was the little fish. Yet she has did nothing, until you go after the protected; like dirty cops, politicians, the billionaire and the big king pins.
Rodrigo Duterte for President.
Anyone else remember when we voted to make opiates legal for medical use despite the FDA openly acknowledging that they were addictive, potentially lethal, and easily abused? Yeah me neither. So why tf do we have to vote for weed again?
You can’t OD on weed and it has so many medically beneficial purposes. You don’t get violent on weed. You eat Cheetos and go to sleep.
@rainbowssparkle1499 I mean, you’re not totally wrong. You don’t technically get violent on fentanyl or oxy but you do go to sleep and possibly never wake up.🤷🏽♀️
People do understand the risks of this drug. That is why they choose it and not weed. They want that I am a Zombie high.
It’s called Biden, China, and an Open border!!!!!
They killing us American and bring immigrant in
