The doctors response is unreal, "yeah it's really concerning", his answer to combat this import of poison is to give parents advice on how to help your child when they OD. Truly desensitized to the outrageous attack on our country.

I blame the government,,, Its greed that is the main cause. There are many things that could be done to help this problem .. Who makes this fentynol shit .? And kids need to be more better educated on pills and shit... 😢😢

[@nicksavage4763]

DONT MESS WITH IT. YOU HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT MEASUREMENTS OF DOSES AND THE FIRST DOSE COULD BE YOUR LAST. Like playing Russian Roulette

[@jaynec7499]

Kids need to know that street marijuana may also be laced with fentanyl.

Keep doing the same things over and over while expecting a different result. This is the definition of crazy.

This guy's hair is freaking hilarious...😆

Now here is a worthy cause for our young people to fight. Somehow, they ended up protesting for Gaza when 200,000 people have died here in the USA of fentanyl poisoning. The same energy on this issue could really help their friends here!!

We remember Trump saying that was going to happen.

[@HKim0072]

It literally happened under his watch: 60K to 92K. That's a +50% increase. Another +20% under Biden.

[@RoseLee65]

Blame the open borders and Biden for welcoming it!!!!

[@HKim0072]

lol, it went from 60K to 92K under Trump. Ain't difficult to read a bar chart.

[@TAKEALONGLINE.]

Under Biden 😅
