As a mother I understand what the woman is saying but I think it’s a very painless death. I have 5 years clean from a vicious IV addiction. I overdosed many times on dope & fentanyl. I’m so grateful I made it through. But I will say this, most of the time you don’t know you’re overdosing & there’s nothing you can do about it. You just go to sleep & never wake up. I see everyone saying “don’t get high” .. they didn’t intentionally do fentanyl. They wanted cocaine & there’s a big difference between the two. If you’re using, get help!!

This story was about the fact that they're kids wasn't as innocent as they thought they were and this is there way of trying to make sure people don't think of their kids as drug addicts, when they knew she was getting high, the brother said it in this video by talking about she used it for recreational drugs, keep telling yourself that, both of been getting high because a person don't have a drug dealers phone # for no reason, 3 addicts overdose and died...

No, thank you. I'm good!
Sorry but anyone taking ANY type of illegal drugs is playing Russian roulette with their life These dealers don’t care about you..they only care about making bigger profit margins .
I used to hang out with some strippers and they were actually really decent girls, but hey they liked to party. It goes with the territory. I was just a drinker at the time but I'd hang with them as they partied. Alot. This was a few years ago right before covid. Anyway they loved coke and eventually these girls would start getting sick while snorting and it was really strange. . Rumor was everything in Baltimore was being laced with feddy. Everything. Weed, Coke, pills it all had feddy. And I think since then Baltimore has more fentanyl overdoses than anywhere in the country. But Baltimore was the heroin od capital so it doesn't get advertised as much. Real epidemic though. I wised up and totally removed myself from nonsense. Couldn't watch it any longer. They literally have 13 and 14 yo's mixing this stuff???? Insane.
Lol they want the courier to get life in prison? I guess it’s easier to blame others than look at your kids and realize that they are the ones who made their own deadly choices
Society is to blame. We need adults to stop the puritan bullshit and allow for a legal market that is safe and regulated for personal ingestion choices.
The sad thing & overall problem is there is not only a Fentanyl addiction problem, but also people who are addicted to any type of drug. They were most likely long time cocaine customers of a drug dealer of this caliber, because 1 like him is not going to sell to people he doesn't know well. Unfortunately they were already taking a risk because it is also possible to overdose & die from using Cocaine, Xanax, Percocet etc even if it's not laced w/ Fentanyl.
Exactly...you can test drinks and other stuff for fentanyl now I don't drink but they have test strips just for that purpose community resource centers methadone clinics etc
I appreciate how in America, no one is responsible for their own choices and behaviors, and there is always somebody else to conveniently blame. Who can we sue??
It's a twisted world when three young, seemingly happy people take cocaine on a regular or recreational basis. How did it come to this normalcy of cocaine use?
More damage has been done in police enforcement and government intervention than the actual drug itself. Private prisons, militarization of police, corrupt cops in which the standards for education are less than a GED education, etc have all done more damage than drugs.
It is a drug problem because the fentanyl is poisoning every single thing now. So many lives lost that could have been prevented if people weren’t intentionally poisoning others.
Because he's selling something he knows is not what they wanted and that it was deadly mixed with something they wern't expecting . It's like going to a restaurant and being served food contaminated with ecoli and blaming the customer for dying of ecoli poisoning . Except the chef probably didn't know but this demon dealer did.
Umm why are the parents blaming the drug dealer? What about their child who DECIDED TO TAKE THE DRUGS? HELLO?! Clueless parents think their child is innocent lol
Drug dealers are not your friend. What did they expect when dealing with a criminal? They knowingly bought an illegal substance and played Russian roulette with their lives.
During Alcohol Prohibition (1920-33) thousands died from improperly mixed homemade liquor. Who was to blame back then for their deaths? The person making it or the laws (Volstead Act/18th. Amendment) that prohibited all alcohol consumption in America?
That's a fucking stupid comment.. how about the scumbag that added fentanyl to the cocaine? He's not to blame? Think about how stupid you sound with that comment.
Fentanyl was created in 1959 by Dr. Paul Janssen as an intravenous surgical analgesic. The drug is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. Because of its strength, the drug was rarely used except in hospital operating rooms or on large animals.
Used appropriately, it has many advantages. Cancer patients get fentanyl in a patch for pain. They are getting it from a legal pharmacy and the patch releases a little pain med at a time.
The whole story is about what is new. It's not an overdose of the drug they think they are taking. It's laced (i.e. poisoned) drugs that is 100x more lethal than anything we've had in the past. If you don't know anything about drugs that's fine, but don't pretend this is business as it's always been.
If you drink alcohol or have ever smoked weed before you have no place to judge cocaine lol. Before fentynol, coke was very safe in moderation. Educate yourself.
Test kits exist to determine if there is fentanyl in drugs. Also, delineating between “recreational user” vs “addict”, “professional” vs “working class” highlights the fact that ppl are still hung up on stigma and classism, not the fact that all ppl in general are susceptible to contaminated drugs if they are buying unregulated drugs. Real journalism is aware of these biases and how they impact a story.
Oh?!! Where is your compassion and empathy for others.. no one deserves to die like that regardless especially because it was laced … sad world we live in… people are heartless
So so devastating heartbreaking💔 So sorry for all the families and the Persian family! Who left Iran for a better life ! I lived in Iran ! Just wish them peace 🕊️
She comes off as a naive college kid. My first question is why not just smoke some weed if you wanna get high???? Or was she afraid of the stupid stigma weed carries.
You're going to be a father & have a great job. You're a social worker who works in healthcare. You're an attorney who knows better than anyone else that drugs are illegal. You lose your lives over fentanyl-laced cocaine. This stupid attitude "oh it's just like having a glass of wine at night" is beyond arrogant and foolish. It's been all over the news for more than a decade that drugs aren't pure & can kill you. People can't claim ignorance about this anymore. "Recreational " drug use is EXACTLY the same as a "regular drug abuser". DON'T DO DRUGS AT ALL- each 1 of these people is responsible for their own deaths. Why should the drug dealer care about theie "customers'" lives when they obviously do NOT? The families are grieving but the anger should be towards the dead people. If it wasn't from Billy, it would have been another dealer.
Lacing coke with fentanyl is nuts. Being able to know what's in the product you are buying is the difference between life and death. The war on drugs is an abject failure
No , we're supposed to feel sorry for 3 people that possibly wern't addicts , just recreational users and were sold something that killed them that shouldn't have been in cocaine.
Coca is a rich yt ppl substance and how dare these dealers unalive these successful High tax paying people. You're only supposed to unalive the poor. Duh!!!! Then nobody blinks an eye.
Democrats fault signing bill day one over 200 thousand died from fentanyl alone , democrats also sold 500 thousand children into sex trafficking it’s why 86 percent of Americans don’t like democrats
If we are going to use, pmease get your narcan! Its free. Its available. Stop pointing fingers. As users, j ow and accept that drug supplies are contaminated. If you're going to have sex and dont want sti or pregnancy, use a condom. People are goi going to use drugs. Life is hard and painful. Thats why people use. Deug dealers are not required to care. Drug dealers shoukd provide narcan to their customers. These parents are acting very privileged . The conversation needs to be one of acceptance and not "not my child..." People have used for as long as we have existed. Stop the denial and use garm reduction.
Listening to comments here confirm the bible....And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will shall wax cold Matthew 24:12.....Hundred of thousands of people died of Fentanyl overdoses yearly in US and each one of those lives matters...including my brother. Even children are dying of Fentanyl. I dont care about race, age, financial status....none of that ..these are lives...SMH May Jesus have Mercy on this evil generation ):
I pray for their families and can't even imagine their suffering. I'm so very sorry for them, BUT I am a Harlem/Bronx girl and people are dying from fentanyl everyday. There are no ABC NEWS special reports for us and about us. It's only if you come from an affluent family or are white that you will receive this kind of attention. This is why there is so much animosity from uptown folks. It is very much them and US.
None of this would have happened IF ALL THREE OF THEM WERE NOT DRUG ADDICTS! I honestly don't see why they're being made to be victims when they were old and smart enough to know this isn't a game and now they paid for their stupidity. Simple idiotic choices by grown ass adults. Done!
The way they described these drug addicts as some type of angels is mind-blowing! They were "functioning" drug addicts that didn't even take the drug to party. They took it alone. At home, or a hotel. Accountability is much needed here. You NEVER know what you're taking, when you're taking an illegal substance.

For three high achieving New Yorkers, they were pretty dumb to be messing with illegal drugs.
Just say no. What’s so hard about that?
Umm why are the parents blaming the drug dealer? What about their child who DECIDED TO TAKE THE DRUGS? HELLO?! Clueless parents think their child is innocent lol
The drug dealer is clearly the one responsible as these people did not want to purchase fentanyl.
@@MH-et5snExactly ....
Drug dealers are not your friend. What did they expect when dealing with a criminal? They knowingly bought an illegal substance and played Russian roulette with their lives.
@@MH-et5sn Yeah coz drug dealers are renowned for giving quality drugs right😒😒😒😒
Because they are grieving.
Every time you do drugs, you risk this.. stay away from drugs
BTW "cocaine" is NOT a recreational drug.
Yes, it is lol.
I feel like you didnt live thru the 80's 😂
Cancer treatment is not recreational. Psychotropics can be.
During Alcohol Prohibition (1920-33) thousands died from improperly mixed homemade liquor. Who was to blame back then for their deaths? The person making it or the laws (Volstead Act/18th. Amendment) that prohibited all alcohol consumption in America?
If you lace alcohol with fentanil, it s ok but you weren't licensed so it s the drinkers fault.
Exactly.
WHY IS A HARVARD GRAD AND A SOCIAL WORKER USING COCAINE????
Pretty concerning to see three professionals who work with or potentially work with the public and they’re drug users
You’re not gonna believe this…
They have nobody to blame but themselves. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
That's a fucking stupid comment.. how about the scumbag that added fentanyl to the cocaine? He's not to blame? Think about how stupid you sound with that comment.
If someone poisons a food item you bought is that your fault? Do you hear how stupid that sounds?
Fentanyl was created in 1959 by Dr. Paul Janssen as an intravenous surgical analgesic. The drug is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. Because of its strength, the drug was rarely used except in hospital operating rooms or on large animals.
Copying a paragraph from an encyclopedia onto u tube , look how SMRT I am
Used appropriately, it has many advantages. Cancer patients get fentanyl in a patch for pain. They are getting it from a legal pharmacy and the patch releases a little pain med at a time.
People who live with 24/7 severe neuralgia use fentanyl duragesic patches as well for their severe pain. They work!
What' s new? Drug users dying of drugs..
The whole story is about what is new. It's not an overdose of the drug they think they are taking. It's laced (i.e. poisoned) drugs that is 100x more lethal than anything we've had in the past. If you don't know anything about drugs that's fine, but don't pretend this is business as it's always been.
If you drink alcohol or have ever smoked weed before you have no place to judge cocaine lol. Before fentynol, coke was very safe in moderation. Educate yourself.
Coke is not safe it’s a vasoconstriction
There’s nothing safe but your veins and artery not having enough oxygen
@@gabby6467 when you buy and use drugs , you're bound to lose or go to prison.....nothing in between
@@gabby6467 nothing to be educated about any drug. Drugs are evil. Easier to say no than sorry.
Well you shouldn't be buying cocaine now or ever.
It is partially their own fault
It is entirely their fault. Nobody snuck in their drink. They contacted a dealer to have it delivered at their place and did it alone.
U go to an Ivy league college & have your whole life set then 👃. What was the point of all that education; all those yrs of studying etc ?
The air we breathe is polluted enough.
Test kits exist to determine if there is fentanyl in drugs. Also, delineating between “recreational user” vs “addict”, “professional” vs “working class” highlights the fact that ppl are still hung up on stigma and classism, not the fact that all ppl in general are susceptible to contaminated drugs if they are buying unregulated drugs. Real journalism is aware of these biases and how they impact a story.
Stop doing druga then
Sooo moral of the story: don’t do drugs kids lol
@ 1st I was thinking it was a random killing, but no, they were drug users…. Oh.
Oh?!! Where is your compassion and empathy for others.. no one deserves to die like that regardless especially because it was laced … sad world we live in… people are heartless
They found two backpacks loaded with thirty kilos of cocaine in the woods about 30 miles from my house Monday. Crazy times.
So so devastating heartbreaking💔 So sorry for all the families and the Persian family! Who left Iran for a better life ! I lived in Iran ! Just wish them peace 🕊️
Seems America can't function without coke.
Hes a drug dealer, what do you expect?
An attorney who wasn't all that bright......
Folks who use coke say it makes them feel good awake
It’s a party man’s drug
I say smoke a blunt and have a lil wine
She comes off as a naive college kid. My first question is why not just smoke some weed if you wanna get high???? Or was she afraid of the stupid stigma weed carries.
Did you know that weed makes you feel different than cocaine? 😂 completely different experiences
You're going to be a father & have a great job. You're a social worker who works in healthcare. You're an attorney who knows better than anyone else that drugs are illegal. You lose your lives over fentanyl-laced cocaine. This stupid attitude "oh it's just like having a glass of wine at night" is beyond arrogant and foolish. It's been all over the news for more than a decade that drugs aren't pure & can kill you. People can't claim ignorance about this anymore. "Recreational " drug use is EXACTLY the same as a "regular drug abuser". DON'T DO DRUGS AT ALL- each 1 of these people is responsible for their own deaths. Why should the drug dealer care about theie "customers'" lives when they obviously do NOT? The families are grieving but the anger should be towards the dead people. If it wasn't from Billy, it would have been another dealer.
Lacing coke with fentanyl is nuts. Being able to know what's in the product you are buying is the difference between life and death. The war on drugs is an abject failure
They have test kits out here
Users do test their drugs
I feel sorry for the families, but you can't get mad at the drug dealers. You are taking a gamble when you're doing drugs !!!
God forbid you blame the person who asked for the drug
Nobody asked for fent
Nobody asked for fentanyl
Doesn’t matter they asked for drugs. Your actions have consequences and if you don’t see that then you are weak minded
@skyjumper25230
But if your vodka gets laced with fent , that s bad, because vodka is good and coke is bad.
@@skyjumper25230so if they sell you a knockoff brand or food with salmonella that’s because of your choice got it
just dont do drugs. as simple as that for real
Can't a person enjoy their cocaine anymore without worrying about it being laced
Zero sympathy they were drug users who chose to buy and do drugs
Drugs kill. They chose to buy.
Who could be so stupid as to try meth or fentanyl?
I’m sorry you did, but it was your choice.
Did you watch this, they didn’t know it was laced with fent
@@KylaMedinaexactly.. these people are on their high horse. Total idiots really.
We’re all supposed to feel bad for cocaine addicts. That’s what the media wants. Ridiculous
No , we're supposed to feel sorry for 3 people that possibly wern't addicts , just recreational users and were sold something that killed them that shouldn't have been in cocaine.
Coca is a rich yt ppl substance and how dare these dealers unalive these successful High tax paying people. You're only supposed to unalive the poor. Duh!!!! Then nobody blinks an eye.
Democrats fault signing bill day one over 200 thousand died from fentanyl alone , democrats also sold 500 thousand children into sex trafficking it’s why 86 percent of Americans don’t like democrats
@@tabularasa7775called fentanyl most street drugs have it in them
@ Quit making stupid excuses for drug use. You loser
May their souls rest in peace. NEVER DO DRUGS !
Is it time to bring 'Winners Don't Use Drugs' campaign back?
*"JUST SAY NO."* When Nancy Reagan said this all those decades ago, I thought she was trite. But really, those 3 words just say it all.
If we are going to use, pmease get your narcan! Its free. Its available. Stop pointing fingers. As users, j ow and accept that drug supplies are contaminated. If you're going to have sex and dont want sti or pregnancy, use a condom. People are goi going to use drugs. Life is hard and painful. Thats why people use. Deug dealers are not required to care. Drug dealers shoukd provide narcan to their customers. These parents are acting very privileged . The conversation needs to be one of acceptance and not "not my child..." People have used for as long as we have existed. Stop the denial and use garm reduction.
Listening to comments here confirm the bible....And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will shall wax cold Matthew 24:12.....Hundred of thousands of people died of Fentanyl overdoses yearly in US and each one of those lives matters...including my brother. Even children are dying of Fentanyl. I dont care about race, age, financial status....none of that ..these are lives...SMH May Jesus have Mercy on this evil generation ):
Gawd bless Murica 🤡 🖕
So, the “dealer” is blamed for “addicts”….. if this was Keisha or Raheem, would there be the same coverage?
You know 2 out of 3 of those people were minorities right?
I pray for their families and can't even imagine their suffering. I'm so very sorry for them, BUT I am a Harlem/Bronx girl and people are dying from fentanyl everyday. There are no ABC NEWS special reports for us and about us. It's only if you come from an affluent family or are white that you will receive this kind of attention. This is why there is so much animosity from uptown folks. It is very much them and US.
Just say "no" to drugs, folks!
It really is that simple. 🤓
This is every day, all day in kensington
Temple University Hospital 🏥
None of this would have happened IF ALL THREE OF THEM WERE NOT DRUG ADDICTS! I honestly don't see why they're being made to be victims when they were old and smart enough to know this isn't a game and now they paid for their stupidity. Simple idiotic choices by grown ass adults. Done!
Doing drugs every once in awhile doesn't make you an addict. Are you an alcoholic for drinking on some weekends? Lol
why are these smart "#$" people using coke (+fentanyl), smh.
The way they described these drug addicts as some type of angels is mind-blowing! They were "functioning" drug addicts that didn't even take the drug to party. They took it alone. At home, or a hotel. Accountability is much needed here. You NEVER know what you're taking, when you're taking an illegal substance.
