I wouldn’t necessarily assume it was accidental until an official report comes out. Teen mental health is at a crisis point due in large part to social media platforms including You Tube.

I don't doubt that social media is having a negative impact on mental health in children and teens. But I would also point out that there is a root problem with addictive digital device use causing an epidemic in chronic sleep deprivation in children and teens, and that is a certain recipe for mental health problems. Tired brains are sick brains, no matter what content they are looking at. |
That is probably true. I don’t know why intelligent parents give in knowing the harms. |
Until that content became stuff you didn’t like, then it’s a crisis. |

We just had Fentanyl death in the family.They were not a drug user at all, but down on their luck for about year and half. Went out drinking, made it home with some drugs and was found few days later. Heart had stopped.
No way did they think that a little bit of drugs could kill them. Not a user, did not even previously know people who could get them the drugs. Looking into their phone would have given them a clue where they went and how they got them. Nobody did that. So, seller are not being punished as only few customers die. The fentanyl crisis hasn't reached half the people yet. |
You need to be 21 to go to a dispensary |
| Does Narcan counteract Fentanyl? |
They put fentanyl in there because it’s very cheap, just a little goes along way to give you an amazing high and it’s a synthetic drug so it’s more easily produced than other drugs But you have a good point on why would anyone want to kill their customers and thus decrease their profits! |
You need many does of narcan since fentanyl is so much more potent. Often times just a few narcan doses don’t do the job. |
Not from state licensed dispensaries idiot. Unless you also believe your birth control pills, asthma inhalers and antibiotics are also laced with fentanyl? |
There are a Great Many people overdoing it on the much, much stronger legalized dispensary weed too. Legal weed induced psychosis lands a lot of young people in the ED and an emerging area of research points to enduring effects on the prefrontal cortex |
I went to an OD education session and they said it was very rare for pot to be laced with fentanyl. |
18 in some states. In others anyone with a medical marijuana card. |
She is not the ceo of YouTube. |
It’s cheap and so strong that they don’t have to use as much as with the real drug. They don’t intend to kill people, but it’s easy to put too much in accidentally. |
