[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm totally ignorant what is the folding over thing that you can see people doing in the video they are standing but acting like they are touching their toes what is that??

That looks like a zombie apocalypse. [/quote]

Synthetic opioids literally turn these people into zombies. There’s also some other synthetic street drugs circulating that have horrible effects.

The synthetic drugs seem to get worse and worse. Natural heroin is no longer found on the street, as it is too expensive and can’t compete with the synthetic narcotics.

This is why I’m a big proponent of heroin legalization. Let the government sell and regulate it. Addicts are going to turn to other stuff as we see in this video. [/quote]
