I have a hard time watching these videos but I feel I owe it to my son to watch them. Jeremy died in June 2021 as a result of a fentanyl overdose. He was 43 and knew the risk inherent with using it. He wasn't like Rain, who was young and unfamiliar with the drug scene. He was sad and depressed and questioning his purpose. It was never a question of "will he die of a drug overdose?" but "when will he die of a drug overdose?". I loved him with all my heart and he knew I loved him but that wasn't enough to keep him alive!

My heart goes out to you. I can't even imagine your pain. My aunt just had to finally wash her hands with my cousin.

Feel lost in space with no reference for up and down. I've suffered loss in my life prior and thought I understood human suffering more then most. I'd lost my father at 19, my 21 year old brother 10 months later, two friends in combat at the time....I was dark mentally. I lost my daughter and those pale in comparison to the pain of losing a child. You are now "Vilomah".

[@tammyhavlik1015]

Actually, pills before taking a tainted Xanax were sold to her as the answer. And they were making her not feel great. And if you read the side of effects of psych meds, they usually have a lack of inhibition listed. It seems to me that narrative sets young people up for Fentynal poisoning- the medical system's profiteering obsession with a quick fix (not) with a pill. Even with some information, given side effects, it's too much to expect a young person to sort through.

[@subastiana7]

They need to bring the D.A.R.E. programs back to schools. Say No To Drugs😢

[@aquaabundance4077]

Absolutely! I wonder why they even stopped them. They should've always received funding

[@usc7564]

Contrary to popular belief, the D.A.R.E. Program, was scientifically proven to have no significant effect on drug use. I think that’s why most schools stopped integrating the program into their curriculum. It was a very basic, unresearched program, that was basically designed as a simple answer to combat the issue of youth turning to drugs, at the height of the similarly effective “War on Drugs”. Anyone, who’s been a teenager, knows that the most prevalent influence on one’s life is their peer group, it’s not their parents, or any kind of programs. I wish there was some way to convey to these families that they’re in no way, shape or form, to question their own ability as parents because very often I’ve heard people question themselves and ask where they went wrong or what they could’ve done differently to prevent the tragic outcomes. In all actuality, it’s more often than not out of their hands. It must be so hard to lose a child like this though, especially when they’re so young and have such a bright future ahead of them. God bless ✝️❤️

[@Ph.D..]

🙄 Fentanyl is a legal prescription medication that we use everyday in medicine & dispense legally daily at pharmacies for chronic & surgical pain. Fentanyl is not a serial killer. ILLICIT fentanyl & tainted street supply is. Please educate yourself & learn the distinction & difference. No one is dying from prescription Fentanyl. Touch fentanyl OD is a myth also. You can easily google this to be informed instead of fear mongered. If you want this deadly, dirty tainted supply chain to cease, advocate for safe supply & the DEA to stop cutting prescription quota production of prescription drugs. There's a direct link & correlation from prescription drug prohibition causing the demand for these deadlier, dirtier tainted drug supply to flood our streets. We learned nothing from alcohol prohibition clearly. Sad to watch Americans still 53 years later believe in drug prohibition fantasies & think the war on drugs is effective. It's like extreme cognitive dissonance & intellectual darwinism.

What sad is doctors are afraid to prescribe benzodiazepines so she resorted to taking one from people she didn’t know very well? it’s ridiculous.

I struggle with anxiety and it’s a real issue. when I take my medication, I feel normal and relaxed and able to function. It doesn’t make me high at all. It makes me normal.

[@ayakowilliams4571]

I totally agree! And it’s so true!!

These medications do help those who truly need them. I have neurological executive dysfunction and taking prescribed Adderall makes my brain “normal” so I can focus, be aware of my surroundings and so many other things that my brain doesn’t do on its own compared to a normal brain. But when Adderall is abused and given without screening by a professional psychiatrist over a course of time, it can be abused and used to create an addict. Rain needed medicine that could help her through her depression and I’m sure it would have helped her because it would have been given from a pharmacy. It breaks my heart to know that she had taken a pill that ended up taking her life from people who have yet to be identified. Please do not be afraid to carefully consider psychiatric medication with support from family and trusted loved ones if you decide to go the way of taking prescribed and controlled substances. But please do not take pills from ANYONE that is not prescribed by a doctor, especially if it isn’t prescribed to YOU. Rain is with the Lord now and we WILL SEE HER AGAIN. ❤🌈

I lost my dad in 2021 to a fentanyl overdose and I'm still struggling he was 55 stay strong there is no time frame on grief but the most important thing is don't isolate yourself and I'm so sorry ❤

This is what I constantly wonder about my stepson Sullivan (Sully) July 22nd 2019. I wonder if he knew he was dying, did he suffer? Was he scared? Was he in pain? I have a son battling addiction as well. It is especially difficult when they are adults. I am so scared of that call. I know alot of people who went to rehab with my son or people i work with who overdosed but were brought back with Naloxone and they say its like falling asleep but i can't stop thinking about it! God Bless all these families and all those who struggle with addiction.

My best friend died in 2017. He died 3x in a 72hr period before getting clean for 2 years. He was brought back to life & immediately released from the hospital each time. He then relapsed in 2017 on what was unknowingly fent. He wasn’t so lucky that time. I’ve spoken to countless people who died & were brought back (I’m from Cleveland & we didn’t ever even do a high school reunion because we lost about 65% of our graduating class in the height of the epidemic). So I can confidently tell you that your stepson wasn’t scared, suffering or in pain. He wouldn’t have even known what was happening. It would’ve been like going under for anesthesia & having your breathing become so shallow until it stopped. No pain, no suffering. I’m very sorry for your loss & I genuinely hope your son finds his way back 💕 My brother just got out of prison. He’s struggled with addiction since we were teens & I’m just hoping he gets it right this time. It is possible. I’m watching so many people pull themselves out of the depths of hell right now & it’s so beautiful to see 🥹

[@karenkramer3760]

I also know somebody who was brought back with narcan. And it was the same for him. Just fell asleep until woke up from the narcan. So I believe your stepson did not suffer.

Such a sad story. I lost my sister to a fentanyl od in 2017. Her daughter died in 2020 from the same thing. We weren't able to find out who supplied the drugs, but I pray that you find out for your beautiful Rain. I recently told someone who's daughters fulltime baby was stillborn, that maybe God thought she was too good for this evil world. Maybe God thought the same about Rain! Hugs to you❣

[@darcya.9390]

@@mrm91986 I’m sorry but I have to say NO to your comment. The God of the Bible is VERY good. He doesn’t take people’s lives like that. I shudder in horror at the thought of that. That would be a cruel and wicked god, not a holy, righteous, loving God. God is the author of LIFE! We humans just make bad choices sometimes. There is also “chance” that has to be considered. When someone takes a drug from a stranger, there is a “chance” that it may not be what they are told it is. No one should ever take drugs from strangers. This precious girl trusted the wrong people and it cost her her life. It wasn’t anything God did or allowed. This precious, sweet girl made a mistake. She didn’t mean or want this to happen. But there are definitely wicked people who are involved with selling bad drugs to innocent, trusting people. They are wicked - not God. But God’s word can definitely heal this family. He can help them cope with the pain. God doesn’t intervene to stop us from doing things that are harmful or dangerous or not wise because He has graciously given us free will to make choices in life. Our apostle Paul said “grace and peace” in all his epistles. It’s possible to have God’s peace in this current dispensation of grace despite hard circumstances in life. God is offering amnesty to the world right now. Christ died, was buried, and rose again the third day to give us life. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy but God is the author of LIFE. Now I do pray that “the Lord of peace himself would give this family peace always by all means.” (2 Thessalonians 3:16 KJB)

[@5ShotProductions]

At first I was confused cause I clearly remembered Rain‘s story. But then I saw the „updated“ in the video title and then of course I watched the complete episode. She must have been such a nice and wonderful person and it really breaks my heart that she was poisoned by a pill from which she thought to be a Xanax pill… It‘s crazy! And sadly not in a good way. I assume nearly anyone can relate to the feeling of „being depressed“ or „being alone“ or even „having anxiety“, and I even can relate to her thought of „I‘ll take a Xanax and it will be better“ but nowadays it‘s so dangerous to take any pill from anyone and not knowing where this pill came from. The only way you can trust this „one pill“ is if it came from a pharmacy in a box/bottle/container, labeled and sealed with your name on it. In what crazy world are we living right now? I‘m not that old (45), but back in the days when „we“ wanted to „experiment“ we had weed to experiment with and as we hopefully all saw on this channel, even weed can be nowadays laced with Fentanyl! Holy smokes, I fear the time when our two sons (now 11 and 9) are teenagers and they do want to „experiment“. And that‘s why I already started talking to our older son about Fentanyl. This may sound weird, talking to an eleven year old boy about the dangers of Fentanyl but that‘s the sad reality we are living in right now, even in Germany we start to having problems with that drug more and more. Not to the extent of those horrific numbers of deaths in the US, but the numbers are rising… Once again, thanks to Glen and Texas Pictures Documentaries for the update on Rain‘s story, and you know it by now, if I can help you with whatever it may be, I‘m in. And if you need me to hold your tripod, I‘m in 😉 All the best to Rain‘s family and of course to Glen from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp

[@rumham7466]

Yea I’m 44 and it’s wild to see how fast things have changed and gotten to this! We dabbled and experimented with different things. We didn’t have to worry if 1 xan would kill us. Heck even CCaine, worst case was it would be weak. I’ve lost many people I know who just took things too far or got hooked and couldn’t get out. They need to be educating kids about this in schools! The image of drugs has drastically changed. They need to be informed that 7 out of 10 (I think those were the numbers) pills on the streets are fakes and contain fentanyl.
