My wife's brother about 6 years ago who was @ 45 and had been sober for almost a year. It was the day before Christmas got in a fight with his live in and went out on a 10 day binge. January 2nd someone hooked him up with what he thought was Heroin and in a flash c-ya bye. He'd been shacking up at his Mom's who was always an enabler. She found him lying on the floor @ 2 AM. She thought he was just drunk passed out till she found she couldn't wake him. His 18 year old son just about a year later...heartbreaking seeing this beautiful 18 year old kid in absolutely perfect physical condition, his whole life ahead of him sitting on life support for a few days until it was agreed he was brain dead. Surreal.
My son died five years ago from basically the same thing.
That is so incredibly sad brother. I'm so sorry you guys are part of the casualties of this epidemic. 6 years ago it was still not being as readily recognized as the killer it is
They did not say Fentanyl, they said it appeared to be heroin that was unusually potent.
I remember watching a documentary on the DEA where an agent who worked for them explained that it is called job preservation. They could stop most all illegal drug importation pretty quickly...but then they would screw themselves out of a job. Just under 10,000 employee's and a 3+ billion dollar budget. Hmmmmm?
