Thanks. That's a legitimate question. I suspect that one of the primary reasons young people are using narcotics and other drugs is because they know, with absolute certainty, that there is no future. Low paying jobs, a polluted planet, war and violence, working two crappy jobs just to pay the bills. I can't even imagine what being young today is like. Ennui is the problem.

@@Sternodox I think a lot of it has to do with prescribed opioids and our lack of understanding how addiction manifests in different types of people. From what my wife noticed when she was a prescriber at a pain clinic a couple of years ago, the vast majority of people who use pain pills for medical reasons do NOT become addicted, BUT most heroin addicts started via prescribed pain pills; that can't be ignored by Big Pharma anymore. And it speaks to your point of those who are struggling with various issues like anxiety etc. where this little pill just wraps you in a warm hug and makes you feel so content, all the while it's really your worst enemy. And it's not just a socioeconomic issue, a family friend of ours, who was in his 60's, very wealthy, and was even a State governor in the 1990's died of an overdose earlier this year.

This is stupid. Everyone knows fentanyl isn't real.
Stopping the supply does not stop the problem, Katie’s Mom. Stopping the supply leaves addicts without their drug of choice and they will turn to other substances (alcohol, other legal drugs, etc.) to get that same feeling/fix. You only stop the problem when you TREAT the problem effectively.
I understand the hurt and pain of the families. My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected. While the dealers and suppliers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However we need to realize the people buying these drugs KNOW the risk! They are making a choice to take that risk. Even if your buying something like an Adderall. You know there is a chance it may not be what you think it is. But yet they take the risk. Addiction is a mental and physical sickness. The war on drugs has only made the issues worse. Instead of fighting the dealers and suppliers, let’s take away their business. We need state issued drugs made by professionals. Open addiction disorder facilities where people can go for drugs taken in a safe place under the supervision medical professionals. All the while helping the people to get off of it and to get their lives back. How do we pay for this? All the billions poured into the war on drugs would more than cover the cost. And the dealers and suppliers would take HUGE hits to their wallets. If even 50% of their customers started going to these addiction facilities instead of buying off the street it would put a massive dent into the dealers and suppliers AND would go along way into stoping people from entering into that as a way of making money

I've used fentanyl for a month but I was aware of it because it was pharmaceutical grade fentanyl so I knew to only use mcg not mg of it and I actually felt good my pain went away instantly and my whole body felt relax. I never did it again because I saw what it was doing to those on the streets I just was lucky to come across legal pharmaceutical fentanyl which was prescribed.

You got that right. Ever wonder why it's so difficult to get suboxon? Go ahead and call your own doctor and ask him to write you a prescription for suboxon. See what he says? It's a simple question.
First, officials and media are usually running a couple years behind on a topic like this... by the time it catches someone's eye and it dawns on them something needs done, the problem has already rooted itself into society and matured... so they gotta play catch-up before actually tackling the problem. And as far as arresting the dealers, ok. Great idea. But just remember, when you take one off the street, three more are ready to replace the one. they don’t miss a beat. And sometimes I believe the dealers aren’t arrested because law enforcement believes they’re doing a favor to society when a user dies because they (users) are oftentimes criminals trying to support their habit. It’s a vicious cycle with no end in sight.

I’m from Illinois and there they only charge death by distribution if there are multiple victims from one person either at the same time or one dies and later on another from the same dealer. Maybe that’s what they are doing in Florida
About 3:30 minutes or so into this someone says they take fentanyl because it’s the best/cheapest available. This is surely true in many cases but I have also heard users say I can’t find a good supply of heroin, so I ‘have’ to go for the Ferntanyl….but they are not happy about it because of the risk and the fact that it is short acting.

PLEASE also tell people when you talk about fentanyl test strips that although they do test for fentanyl, they do not test for ALL of the analogues of fentanyl. Also people need to know that if they are going to use to test more than one "area" of their substances, start slow and lower your normal dose. You can always do more, you can't do less.

Sadly part of the problem is that most doctors and hospitals now refuse to give pain medication to pain patients. They feel desperate to relieve their pain and end up buying off the streets. Then they become addicted to the fentanyl that is in almost all pills on the streets now. Yes there are plenty like this story that do it for fun or to relieve depression, but many are also people who should be being treated by their doctor for their pain but the doctors won’t so they find pain relief elsewhere and then die. We need to stop the war on pain patients. It would absolutely help stop the overdoses. Even if some sell their pill, which the vast majority don’t, then some non fentanyl pills would be on the street again.

just because the test strips are illegal does not mean that you will be busted. the sellers address has to be in the authorities and post office database so they can detect what it is. you can get one of them forwarding mail sites that popped up after the abortion controversy . just set up a mail forward from a state where it is legal and the seller can know it is going to florida. of course a good seller would be smart enough to either not use a return address or munge it such to avoid detection and look like an ebay purchase.
They think it takes the pain away but all it does is put a bandaid over it for a short time and almost 100 percent of the time will cause more suffering than you were in to start with.

You still have that junkie mentality. It's not everyone who will use heroin (dugee) as their drug of choice. You are too hardcore to make any logical opinions about the world of drugs. Stay off the dope, next time you may not be so lucky.
This is murder
What I don't understand: Opioids are addictive and dangerous. Over here in Europe, they are mostly used in palliative care or extreme medical situations like cancer or complex surgeries. In Switzerland and the Netherlands opioids are being used in assisted suicides. Even if a doctor would prescribe me opioids for something like back pain (even chronic back pain), I would never ever take it. There are enough NSAIDs which are helpful (most of the time). It's so hard to fathom that millions of people with every day pain get a prescription for something that dangerous. If doctors are acting that irresponsible, you have to educate yourself in order to shield you from taking something as harmful as opioids for relatively "common" types of pain.
It's quite interesting to watch this documentary of the dangers of Fentanyl while I'm sitting here smoking "Fetty" at the same time. The honest truth is that somehow I feel invincible and untouchable in that I'd NEVER die of "Fetty" - which is such an ignorant way of thinking. But TRUST ME when I say that I've many, many times to stay clean through several rehabs and recovery programs. But I should try extra hard to kick this habit. And once I do I would be celebrating my LIBERATION. As for now, I continue to use it so I don't withdraw nor get sick from it.

I hope, as a resident of Florida, that the government stops hiding behind Disney and the money and takes responsibility for this situation. When is the government going to care more about what is in the people's best interest and not less the money!!

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, "the Mouse" makes money FOR the state, but addicts dont. Our gov't in FL cares more about tourists and snowbirds than they do about residents.

Each of these reporters need to call there own doctor and ask him a simple question? Ask him to write you a prescription for suboxon. It's a real simple question. Tell him your in withdrawal and you understand that suboxon with take care of the withdrawals. See what he says?Then get back to us. Keep in mind that the doctor can write you a prescription for some of the deadliest drugs in the world. See what he says?

7:10 "stop the supply stop the problem" ?? I completely understand this woman being disillusioned but the lack of basic knowledge in regards to addiction/ drug usage / harm reduction etc is still boundless in this country. Lost both of my child best friends to alcohol/ overdose within a year of each other and had no idea they were struggling with addiction. I will never forgive myself and my attitude now is take action. Help others. Embrace my brothers and sisters. ... Finished with my rant ...peace

Why are the companies that make it not being charged? They know it can be addictive but produce and sell it anyways.

They typically only make 1 component out of several needed to manufacture Fent, so alone the precursors are legal and don't become illegal until they're turned into Fentanyl, Chems usually from China shipped to Mexico, cooked up by the Cartel into Fent, and a bunch of it is pressed into fake M30 Pills and the rest is sold off as "Raw or Pure" to street dealers.

Thankfully as of 2023 fentanyl as a street sold drug has not yet reached Australia.
Most business people don’t use their own products. I bet the owner of McDonald’s doesn’t eat McDonald’s burgers.
Maybe if we had a closed border we would be better off considering it comes through Mexico.

That middle Man should not be facing a murder charge. I don't think any1 who sells drugs should face murder. If they didn't get it from them , they would have got it else where. I get it that the parents are upset, but I don't agree w it as an x addict, go after the people that are bringing it in in bulk.
