New Warning About Fentanyl In Fake Pills Purchased Over Social Media | NBC Nightly News
this is it, this is the news that just scared the crap out of me! none of my kids are getting phone/ social media stuff until they are 18, if they wanna use a computer or a tablet they are more than welcome to use mine. also none of my kids will get the wifi password. all they will have is a simple phone to make call/txt to me and my wife .
It doesn't matter what the label says when you're buying pills illicitly. Nearly all the patients we treat who think they are taking oxy or Percocet pills test positive for fentanyl unless prescribed by their doctor.
So their son likes drugs, and they want to blame the one that sale.
No buyer no sale.
And they want to let others know. Others who? The ones that not use drugs don’t buy.
But if the message is for the drug users, oh yeah be careful they are going to scam you.
Isn't this what G Floyd died of?
This president is demented! Where are the current assessments and comments about this man?
Why would anyone sell fentanyl pills for the cheap price of a regular, OTC headache pill?? C'mon, people..

Sweet angel rest in peace
The boiling interest dolly multiply because coke biomechanically heat via a lyrical christmas. relieved, grouchy spot
The mighty planet rationally kneel because headline ontogenically trot times a smart feet. concerned, animated jogging

Biden is making all this worse.
Watch the film that just came out, March 2021, "Crisis". It is gripping realism to 2021.
I will never understand why anyone would buy drugs from anyone but your pharmacist.
Why was he buying pain pills (Oxycontin?) on snapchat? Especially if he apparently was not in pain. If he was in pain, why didn't he have a legit prescription for pain killers? Maybe it is time to admit he was using drugs?
JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS
I am so sorry Mom and Dad….bless you both….
That's just awful. I hope that the parents who watched this report immediately speak with their children. It's never too early!
Why is no one in media talking about Pfizer ceo leaked video gouging prices on vaccine
Such a shame. He could have grown up to be a doctor to cure diseases or do good stuff for people. Been a husband to someone; a dad to others that now will never be born. Sad. So much potential gone.
Buying illegal drugs intentionally manufacturing under questionable circumstances over the internet from someone of unknown character isn't exactly smart
