  1. It's funny that they'll hold small time street dealers accountable, but the drug companies that lit the fire and the FDA that supported their crimes, barely got scratched. That's the real privilege in this country. They call it "white privilege", but it's really about elitist privilege. The elites put the "white" in the propaganda to cause division.

  2. the streets will rectify this one. what type of heathens are these dealers. leave people alone who don't have your best interest at heart. This brother was loves on and off screen

  3. Go arrest the addict for choosing to use drugs not the dealer!!!! Tf is omfg this is weird asking a bad drug omfg all drugs are bad and you can die from any of them tf!!!!!!

  4. Am really sorry for this poor dying man; but what was in that drug why people have to destory: there life i just. Dont know why people take somrhing that will kill u the devil dont want u to live if u are weak; may god have mercy on his dying soul :;☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

  5. I don’t understand why drug dealers want to put fentanyl in their drugs, and potentially kill the clientele. Don’t they want repeat buyers? I can’t understand the lunacy of all of it. They are the dumbest drug dealers ever

  6. People need to stop believing everything media say hip hop the reason to all these crime & the opioid consumption in America where you end up in prison for a stupid crime you did on the opioids or in a halfway or rehabilitation because of the opioids and if it’s not hip hop it’s the pharmaceutical companies getting you hooked and the same companies are who fund everything they fund the hip hop to promote they fun the pharmaceutical to distribute then those same people fund the prison for the profits and people are starting to notice that’s so now there putting there money into halfway houses and rehab centers where there profit off a problem they created for profit , that’s entrapment at its finest

  7. Bro you could tell the difference if herion and fentanyl, why he gonna go to jail for he didn’t force him to buy/use the drug , fentanyl is 3x stronger then herion a lot of herion addicts switch over to fentanyl on purpose to get more high , I mean if the kid faces charges so should of pharmaceutical companies because they trick you into addiction for there profits , another example of people going to jail because the white man don’t get a cut , as soon as they figure out a way to sell fentanyl/herion for there pockets/interest it’s gonna become acceptable just like alcohol and weed , it’s not illegal because of the harm it’s illegal cause they don’t get a cut out the profits , it’s only legal when it’s in a pill and you need a purchase it at a pharmacy

  8. *CAUSE HES AN ACTOR * but SO MANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THIS DRUG WISH YALL WOULD GO HARD FOR THEM TOO God Bless Him and Everyone who lost their life to this

  9. It's crazy the streets don't love no one. Those devils out here selling lethal doses of these drugs, killing people and not even caring, how many will drop dead. It really needs to stop.

  10. That law is stupid… He was a grown man. He even did his last movie about drug abuse. The Body Brokers. People who START doing drugs are stupid. Even the pill poppers. Didn't everybody do D.A.R.E. in school gee wiz. Now somebody is going to jail because he wanted to get high. Police need to be preventing this stuff. Heck he bought it right out on the street. Right out in the open.

  11. But we want "safe" injection sites and free crack pipes for the poor? I have to believe that if EVERY drug overdose death was treated like a murder then we'd eventually see a big drop.

  12. SO SAD! He did the vice drug show. Crazy, great actor/dude.. reading these comments, its obvious many dont even know what they're talking about, just spewing non sense and he said she said Bs… Ive been on Fentanyl for the past 10 years. Opiate dependency for me started after two surgeries I had, was put on pills and not weened off and suddenly they stopped giving them to me, I was left with a feeling like I never felt before, so Sick, weak, Depressed, Wrestless, anxious, sweaty, tired, couldn't sleep or eat, lethargic, in pain, muscle aches, joint pains, hot flashes, cold chills, watery eyes, runny nose etc etc etc. This list goes on and on, so I went to obtain opiates else where. Here I am about 11 years later, still dependant.
    I Wish i could find some good heroin.. Fentanyl isn't much a euphoric drug. it doesn't really get and already opiate dependant person "high" it just gets me 'well'. I could do a half gram a day or 3.5 grams a day and it really doesn't make a difference, I usually just sniff it or put it in water and soak a certain type of paper in the water and let it dry and put them under my tongue to dissolve…
    Heroin is much more europhic, U actually feel some type of way when you do it. Once the government started changing the opiate pills to time release, an making them weaker, and much harder to get prescribed, and yanking patients prescriptions away so abruptly.!!!
    thats when the streets were flooded with heroin, at least here in the Midwest, its been around forever i know, but I'd say about 2010-2013 is when there was a HUGE up tic.. Then, couple years later, this Fentanyl was huge around this area and east coast, because a lot of the precursors, chemicals, that are used to make it can come from Johnson and Johnson, right outside of Philly. Not only that, its so easy to buy online, its like ordering anything else from amazon or what ever. Its very cheap online and turns a HUGE profit once its cutt and sold on the street, making it highly profitable for dealers. Its also sometimes used to bring a weak batch of H back to life, and thats when problems/overdoses happen. People who are used to weak dope or have low tolerances get it and can't handle it.. I however prefer heroin or oxy or hydro codone syrup to fentanyl because I actually feel those types of opiates, the synthetic opiates are stronger they say, but not in a "high" sense, just might need less to get right or well.. If that makes any sense..
