    I told myself at sixteen in the 80s that I was not allowed to do drugs. I kept to that. I’m 57 now.

    This should be shown in every single elementary, middle and high school. Period. Yes it can happen to you as Fentanyl doesn't care if you are rich or poor or anything else. This is in every city and town so nobody is safe. Our government must do better in spreading awareness and making the media report it daily.

      Young or old, too. Took my partner at 60. He thought he was getting ketamine. Fuck fentanyl.

      Not just in America, everywhere.
      Scotland is rife with drugs. From a Mam who knows but who's child survived.
      Please take care everyone. It's truly heartbreaking 💔😢 to watch this happening.

      But the thing is. Humans don't learn by just telling us. Was u told by your parents, pay attention in school or your gonna be a loser, better go to college, don't date that loser guy, don't settle for someone that cheats on u, don't have unprotected sex you'll get pregnant, the list goes on and on. But did we do some of those things even tho we were told not to and what could happen if we did. Absolutely we did! We had to learn the hard way. The ONLY way we truly learn things. It's just what it is. Ppl just do things and learn the hard way. I've smoked fentanyl before. On multiple occasions. Did I die? No. Did I do it again and again yes. Did I get addicted. No. Thank God. I just did it cuz I was bored. I haven't smoked it since April this year. Will I do it again? I hope not. My partner is getting outta prison in November. Am I terrified that he is going to go back to using it and die. Absolutely I am. Do I think he will? Yes I do. Do I feel like I need to leave him in order to spare myself the grief of losing a spouse? Yes I do. But idk if I will leave or not. But my brain tells me do it sista. He's gonna be gone soon anyways. I know him. He's already told me he will try to stay clean out here for a year. So I know he is going back to using again. But I love him. So idk what to do. Pisses me off that his friend has been caught and arrested twice for trafficking since he sold their friend fentanyl and it killed him but here where we live as long as u help the police do their job and tell on ppl u can contribute to the deaths of your granny mom dad child spouse or anyone for that matter. As long as your helping the police do as little of their job as u possibly can you can stay outta jail. Been arrested for trafficking twice both times been released on an or bond. Meaning didn't have to put up any bond money and never had to return back to court and charges were dismissed. Pittsburg county Oklahoma. Haileyville and hartshorn Oklahoma are arresting officers. This place sucks folks. Small Town police small minds I guess. And lazy as f***!

    I found an overdosing man in a park restroom. I heard the death rattle. The ambulance was just 2 blocks away so he was saved but looked 10 years older than when I saw him enter the restroom next to the men’s restroom. Emt guy said that is what happens during a near death experience.
