In my blue sanctuary city of San Francisco the city has banned plastic straws but freely passes out syringes and aluminum foil.
🤦♀️
Wow! How progressive of them. They get free crack pipe kits from the government too? Democrats.
Aluminum foil for what?
@@kellyshomemadekitchenlittle hats😅
Pelosi suggested that the drug users can use the poop on the sidewalks to fashion a crack pipe (Poop Pipe)
PopulationCONTROL anyone
You're not funny.
Cynical ploy by the government?!
Exactly. That's why the feds work with the cartel. 10% for the big guy.
Keep letting in illegal cartels and this will increase. Especially if they put Fentynol in water systems.
You’re crazy nobody is gonna put Fentanyl in the water. You watch too much Fox News.
Perhaps you should go down and work with these addicts. They don’t want help. No one is forcing them to take this crap. It’s supply and demand. Why didn’t you complain about prohibition and the sale of alcohol which kills thousands. Oh because it’s legal drugs the govt taxes that’s why. Go see how many are dying from alcoholism distributed by our own CARTEL $$$
Drugs are a choice.
They choose to take them.
It's on the ppl whom took them
I hope you never have to find out the hard way how wrong you are. Yes, the first time a person picks up is a choice. Thereafter, when a person is caught up in the grip of addiction, even when they realize they’re in over their head, by then their brain chemistry has changed drastically and causes them to do things they’d never dreamed of before. I speak from experience as well as from the degree in addiction I’ve earned. Thanks to the Almighty God, I was able to recover. Not all are as fortunate.
@@kellyshomemadekitchen I partied like hell in my day...on everthing.everything..
Then in 1982 I quit..I liked my china white best..so don't say it's not choice.
I choose to party.. I choose to quit..
Been there..done that
@@brianfancher2052 I never said it’s impossible for someone to quit drugs and improve themselves.
The people responsible are the ones that took the drugs.
Oh really? So the greedy drug dealer who sold these fatal doses has no blame?
@@kellyshomemadekitchen yes, arrest them. However, unless they took illegal drugs without knowing, it is their fault for doing illegal drugs in the first place.
And how many died from illegal Pfizer overdoses?...
@@macielynn7761
The first time a person picks up is yes, a choice. Unfortunately though, not everyone was raised in a good home like you and I. As an addiction counselor, I have been stunned by the amount of addicts whose mother and or father literally gave them hard drugs and or alcohol when they were a child. Many were addicted before their teens. There’s always exceptions to everything and for those in the category I’m talking about, it is absolutely NOT their fault.
@@kellyshomemadekitchen maybe. I have seen friends and family be better than their upbringing.
Dam, they're killing their customers.smh. oh well,8 more people that we don't have to support with taxes.
“Don’t do drugs but if you do anyway” we live in a time where there isn’t even a comma in that statement
If you do drugs don’t do them alone? Wow I just can’t believe what he just Said 😮
Why? Addiction is a fact for many unfortunate souls. No one wakes up and decides to be an addict. They don’t get into the situation overnight nor can they get out of it overnight either.
Like Smokey the Bear saying don’t start a fire but if you decide make it make a small one
@@kellyshomemadekitchen did you read my post are just commenting? Cause what? And who? 🤔
Kansas City 3 were not alone!
@@beepaul6826 of course I read your post. The last part of your latest comment makes no sense though.
All the addicts are out looking for it now too cause THAT'S the good stuff!
2 people died in Biloxi, Mississippi this weekend from overdoses. Found dead at a bus stop.
God help those in need, in Jesus name amen.
@@ShelbySmith-wl5gi
Yes! Only Jesus can help a person addicted.
Ugh... Drugs aren't the same as back in the day. Ill pass thanks
They are in other countries. In Berlin there's telegram groups to buy/have things delivered and everything is tested. Netherlands does things right too
Game has changed
@@magnumxlpi 🤔🤔🤔. I might be back in the game 🤣🤣🤣
Now it's called vaccine...
Recreational drug use is now no bueno!
Yet they are illegal in Texas. I wonder why this keeps happening despite illegalization 🤔🙄 adults have to make better choices
@@ericabrown7354 The sad fact is you don't know what's in whatever drug you're buying anymore. You have to assume that fentanyl is in everything. Maybe this is a cynical ploy by the government to get people to stop buying drugs?!
The experimental covid vaccine was the biggest illegal drug sale of all time. Anyone arrested yet?
If you want to find the head leader of the drug organization, his name is Joe and he’s in Washington DC
He's the cartel employee of the year!
Damn that guy gets around he must work a lot of jobs😂 cuz in 2021-2022 he was the Taliban employee of the year. And now in 2023 and 2024 he's employee of the year in Ukraine. and the cartel employee of the year😂😢 and is this month the employee of the month for Israel and Palestine😢 saddest part is for his five decades in Washington he hasn't even made employee of the week one time😂
Well said james..
Only 8? Ban Narcan.
Waste of resources… as usual.
Horrific!
Back in the sixties Taco Flats is where we scored our junk. No fake or synthetic crap like today.
And no added fentanyl.
Anyone soing drugs off the street know they are risking their lives. It is sad, but they will do whatever they can to get the drugs, and they will continue to die. And Narcan costs $50 a pc. Who the heck will pay that?
My son’s friend was one of those deaths! So tragic!!!!!!
I can't imagine. Addiction is horrible enough without having this crap added.
So sorry and many condolences. We had two overdose deaths this weekend in Biloxi, Mississippi. It’s crazy out here.
Was he a regular user or just a one time mistake?
He was a junkie
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
-Phil Collins
A “BAD” batch of drugs?...isn’t that a contradiction?
Stay off Poison Dope Texas and stay off the streets it’s like playing frogger dodging stumble bums and panhandlers at every major intersection. Have to stay in your toes these days in Austin.
Sad!
"If you must do drug, don't do it alone..." Get your friends and family hooked too so you won't be doing alone, or going alone.
Is anyone surprised by this?
😢😢
A shame
Why did i not invest in a body bag company? Wow I missed that come-up!
Austin wanted to be California.....now they are
What is happening?
Biden & the border.
Narcan should be illegalized. It's making the prob so much worse! Why is that not obvious.
Gee, I wonder if it has any connection with the wide open border? 😡
Since the raw ingredients come from China, the drugs are coming through our Ports of Call. Immigrants fleeing civil strife and poverty are not the perps.
FAFO !!
Bidenomics people! Bidenomics....
Oh, for cryin out loud. 8 people, 4 officers, evybody goin to the other side, we are not the country I grew up in!
Where does fentanyl come from ?
Purdue Pharmaceuticals.
It comes in illegally from China and Mexico.
The US southern border.
Mexico
China. It's a synthetic opiate, meaning it's made in a lab start to finish.
The government
failed efforts abound
@KXAN
Fentanyl is pronounced ‘fen tuh nil’. Not ‘fen tuh nol’.
What's up Doc ? Actually it's fen·tuh·nuhl.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC
Nope.
Its nil, youre right. Like benadryl or carbonyl.
