Angel Mom of Tiffany and Zachary. My children are gone - I fight to save YOURS.
The overwhelming majority of Fentanyl POISONINGS are NOT "overdoses". The term "overdose" implies the user had knowledge of the presence of illicit fentanyl and CHOSE to use it anyway and then used too much. This is NOT what is happening in the majority of cases with illicit fentanyl. We call this the new "paradigm" in the drug world.
Counterfeit prescription pills made to look IDENTICAL to a prescription Adderall, Percocet, Oxycontin, Xanax are pouring into our country courtesy of China and the Mexican drug cartels. Your child might buy or be handed what they think is a Xanax which will NOT kill them, but they are actually getting pure fentanyl which will. EVERY batch of these counterfeit pills being made by the cartels have pills which contain lethal amounts of illicit fentanyl.
The broad contamination of traditionally non-lethal drugs like cocaine, heroin and meth with illicit fentanyl have created another dimension of drug induced homicides where the users may have intended to ingest cocaine which would generally NOT kill them with a single use but these drugs are being contaminated without the users knowledge with illicit fentanyl and they are dying.
This deception of our young people is killing unsuspecting young people at a rate of over 280 a day in this country from illicit fentanyl toxicity.
Nobody deserves to die for making one bad choice. In today's world of illicit fentanyl they are.
It HAS TO BE STOPPED!
