FENTANYL KILLS: It's in the Weed

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat




Florida resident Brandy Bowers shares her story of losing family members and friends to fentanyl-laced marijuana. Illicit fentanyl is a dangerous, life-threatening drug frequently found in other illicit drugs and results in the death of 200 people per day in the US. This is just one of those stories and delivers an urgent warning to avoid all illicit drugs.

  1. More reason to legalize weed in your state. Illinois has weed stores everywhere no Fentanyl. Oh and the weed is better than street weed.

    5. 馃挬馃挬馃挬... That's what weed and drugs are. Shit like elixirs most commonly preferred/consumed by the most week and feeble minded scourges of society. I was involved in a collision back in 13, some old goat took a red and T-d me. Broken leg, broken hand, some ribs and a surgery to crown that shit pie; naturally I was prescribed a heavy narcotic, Dilaudid of all things, a drug that carries a dubious designation of not highly but extremely addictive potential, though I was not aware at the time. I was prescribed a total of 45 pills, fast forward to present day/11 years since, and 18 of those 45 are still in my medicine cabinet. Yes they worked like nothing else I knew of, but could not imagine spending my days in some incoherent zombie like state. Stay off of it all when merely for the sake of recreation young bloods, sure these things have a sensible purpose, and it's not for you to cope or detach from life's struggles like some whiney bitch. Get a grip and start making a grip, put all that time and effort you place into chasing highs, into a real life.

    10. @08:53 meth is already legal dumbass. You just have to get it from a doctor and a pharmacy like Walmart. So is fentanyl for that matter. They are legitimate medications that people need.

      Now, there's a shitload of junkies who don't need the meds but like to use them 24/7.

      @10:25 Michigan is the shit. 40$ ounces and $80 ounces of fire respectively. No fetty. No medical card required. Fire.

      @12:35 dispensary weed is worth it over the illegal market because its all lab tested. That's why it costs more. Fuck street drugs.

      @12:33 that's how it goes in Michigan too. $120 ounce for top shelf rapper weed.

      @10:35 well said.

      @08:38 must be hydro or you're in a state that heavily taxes.

      IPAs are usually bitter(55-100+ IBU) and depending on the hops used can be piney, citrusy, tropical or down right dank like green yesca. Aurora Hoppyalis, Stone IPA and Alesmith IPA out SD way being good widely available beers.
      Some new school IPAs are even in the 20+IBU range which cater to younger or novice drinkers. IPAs are the largest selling style of craft so the brewer's try to cater to the different demographics.
      Another thing to look out for is when it was bottled and was it refrigerated. Even if kept cold three months is the max time I'll accept for something I'm going to drink in one or two days.
      You might have written to be from the Boston area, Tree House and Trillium Brewing are two of the stand outs from that area.
      Been a dry week but on Monday I'm going to drink two pints of brazen sensei West Coast IPA.

      America is devastated by the impact of illicit street drugs like methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin, LSD, MDMA, molly, peter, synthetic weed, bath salts, substituted cathinones and a-PVPs (Flaka).

  5. Always heard that the heat burns away the fent ? Any truth to that ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. @10:00 for educational and scientific purposes only: a direct flame exposed to fentanyl will oxidize the molecular structure and affect it. However, if you are smoking something like weed in a joint or in a pipe. The flame is only applied to the top of the material and then heat is distributed throughout the bowl or joint, slowly (thus preserving the fentanyl molecules).

      Now, at a certain temperature maybe 5000 degrees F, gold melts and fentanyl will disintegrate.

      People have great results smoking fentanyl out of these new special glass fetty pipes and aluminum foil where the flame doesn't directly hit the dope.

  7. This has to be the biggest BS. The kid was probably on fentanyl and telling the family he only smokes weed. It’s like women saying they got pregnant while using a condom, it’s obvious she wasn’t using protection but will tell everyone otherwise.

    3. 100% this. I came here to say the same thing, I’m sure there’s extremely rare exceptions but people aren’t putting fentanyl in weed or coke. People that OD don’t want to admit to doing fentanyl so when they come to they say they were just doing coke or smoking weed and it was laced. Multiple people that had a friend or family member OD have called me to ask about it and I tell them that they just don’t wanna admit it and every time they call back and tell me I was right. Or if a group of friends are doing fentanyl and one ODs and dies they will just say they were doing coke or smoking weed and it was laced. Nobody wants to ever admit to doing fentanyl so now we have this propaganda. Not defending fentanyl I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense to lace shit with fentanyl outside of heroin, m30s and Xanax.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but wouldn't Bidens relaxed border policy help facilitate the amount of drugs that are coming in along with the number of immigrants? You say Biden has nothing to do with it, but when it comes to homicides in Mexico you want to pin it all on AMLO like he is the one telling the cartels to go out and murder indiscriminately.

  20. FYI, 1/8 oz are $16.66 plus tax, $20 out the door in Ma.! It's actually been easier to buy it than grow it myself! After buying seeds, grow lights, tents, clean water, nutrients, 4'x4' grow area, soil and soil amendments plus electricity every month, plus 3 to 4 months grow time, after it's all said and done it was easier buying in bulk at $108 an oz plus tax!
