[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone presenting with zombie-like behavior is not on weed. They are likely on flakka, which is really hitting our area hard and has been for the last 9ish months.

When you see people standing up nodding off, that's likely heroin and other opiates like fentanyl.

It is rare to go 1 day in the ED without having multiple teens rushed in for ODs. It's a very scary, sad time we are living in. [/quote]

+1 these kids are on synthetic drugs and/or knockoff Percocets/other prescription painkillers that have been laced/cut with fentanyl. Not garden variety marijuana. It’s a huge problem. People don’t mean to get addicted, to OD, or to start using harder drugs, but it happens because the drug supply is tainted and the drugs just keep getting harder and more cut with stuff that’s really dangerous.

Not sure what the solution is. “Just Say No” didn’t work in the 80s. Securing the borders/customs so this stuff can’t “sneak in” from China is probably the most important but then people will start trying to recreate it in home labs like they did with meth in the mid 2000s … [/quote]
