15.5 Fentanyl
Fentanyl is such a dangerous drug that 5 grains of it can kill. One ounce of fentanyl is enough to kill a thousand people. People who have tried to rescue those who have overdoses on fentanyl sometimes breath enough in so that they need to be rescued.
On July 18 2022, Ashley Moody the attorney general of Florida wrote a letter to President Joe Biden.
She wrote:
Dear Mr. President:
58,220 Americans died in the Vietnam war. Seven months ago the CDC released its provisional data for drug overdose deaths for 2021. For the first time in this country's history, more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses. 75,673 of those overdose deaths were from opioids, primarily fentanyl. In the last two years, more than double the Americans who died in the entire Vietnam War have died from synthetic opioids. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death among adults ages 18-45, claiming more young lives than Covid-19, cancer, car accidents, or suicide. Fentanyl impacts more than those who use it. It can kill first responders and good Samaritans who seek to resuscitate overdosed users....
Mass deaths. Lives shattered. More than two hundred Americans die every day from opioids, primarily fentanyl, leaving broken families struggling with incomprehensible loss. I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to protect Americans and declare fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction.
Sincerely,
Ashley Moody
Florida Attorney General
The picture below is of Rebecca Kiessling and her two sons.
Rebecca warned her sons not to take drugs but they didn't listen. Her two sons started their descent into addiction with vaping. Then they became addicted to Xanax Their mother did everything she could to get them to stop but they were addicted and didn't stop. One day they ordered Percocet and tried it with a girl in a hotel room. It was Fentanyl disguised as Percocet. All three died.
Their mother testified before congress about what happened. The video below starts with her testifying and then shows her being interviewed by Tucker Carlson.
Rebecca's kids got fentanyl through Percocet but you don't have to take a drug to get it. Fentanyl is being disguised as candy. Retired Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Matthew Maltz talks about this in the video below.
Matthew says check if it looks right. That involves
Checking if the colors are off.
Check if the packaging has tiny pinholes or tears in it.
Check if the candy's are wrapped. If not throw them out.
Also parents should not allow children to eat baked goods unless the parents know who baked them.
