  • Detectives with the Austin Police Department seized crack cocaine that tested positive for fentanyl, and the agency now believes the spike in overdoses downtown was a result of people taking fentanyl-laced crack, APD said in a statement.
    “Downtown has historically and is still an area of Austin which sees a higher level of crack use,” APD said in a statement. “Officers in the downtown area command have put the word out.”

      Easy for you to say. Wait til you get in a wreck they give you morphine. And you might say you wouldn’t take it. But when you break your legs and back in a wreck believe me you’re going to take them. So you have chronic pain all the time. Then you get addicted and it changes your brain chemistry you have no idea what real withdrawal is like. So you have people get addicted who normally wouldn’t. Then when they try to ween you off you still have pain and it gets so bad you’re willing to do anything to make it stop. That’s the reality you don’t understand. You have no idea what that’s like.

    My son Dylan passed away from fentanyl poisoning on March 17th 2023 in California.The man’s couch he died on knew Dylan was overdosing and didn’t call for help. This man sat Dylan up on his couch and left to do errands. Me living in Wisconsin called the police immediately, they couldn’t send anyone out because we didn’t know the apartment number just the complex. So I pleaded and begged this man to give me his apartment number, he refused. He has not been charged with anything, yet he knowingly hindered Dylan and us from getting Dylan the life saving treatment he needed. Dylan was seven blocks from a hospital. My heart will forever be broken as my only child was taken from me. Dylan should have justice. Dylan deserved much better than to die alone on Eric’s couch.

    The risks of using street drugs are just too high. If you insist on using, use a test strip, carry Narcan, AND DON’T use alone. You cannot give yourself Narcan
    Narcan and test strips can be obtained for free. I don’t use but I carry Nasal and IM Narcan in my vehicle car kit.
