Good riddance to bad trash.

We don’t have a fentanyl crisis, we have a druggie crisis.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Rather reinforces the notion that “recreational” drugs are deadly. And in use by the middle and upper classes as well as the dregs.

Three idiots gone.. works for me.

Marked safe from dying of fentanyl-laced cocaine here.....

“Julia was a driven professional with everything to live for. Never in a billion years would she have touched anything with fentanyl,”

She would never do that. But ordering cocaine, well that’s somehow something she would do.

This story was published in the WSJ. There were more than 1600 comments this morning. The vast majority of comments express dismay and disgust that the author refers to drug dealers as the "delivery service," comparable to GrubHub or Door Dash. The other dismal takeaway from the story is that cocaine use is completely normalized. Things would be just fine with cocaine. The Fentanyl is the problem.

We're doomed...

Three New Yorkers die of fentanyl overdose after ordering cocaine from drug delivery service

I see the Media's interest and problem here, it's been a year and a half and they still can't figure out how to blame this on Putin and Russia.

[PGR88]

What is the world coming to when you can no longer trust an anonymous illegal drug delivery service???

[The Louiswu]

I thought the Silk Road had been shut down?

[Go Gordon]

My sympathy meter must be broken. It’s reading zero.

[RoosterRedux]

A young attorney just starting her first job was using coke.

Wow.

Having been in a high-stress job in NYC, I can say that using coke at any level is a very bad omen. But using it at the beginning of a career is a sign this career wasn't going to last long.

What a wasted life.

[CommerceComet]

The three professionals all ordered cocaine from a GrubHub-like delivery service on the same day, but the drugs turned out to be laced with a deadly amount of fentanyl.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

My friend and I had a discussion about this story,..She has lost family to drugs and so have I...My take is it was their choice..A stupid choice, but their choice..Her take was we don’t know their reason....It doesn’t matter..It did not end well..Their choice and our discussion....

“Julia was a driven professional with everything to live for. Never in a billion years would she have touched anything with fentanyl,” Sassan Ghahramani, whose daughter Julia Ghahramani died of a fentanyl overdose, told the Wall Street Journal in a report Sunday. “This is like putting bullets in people’s brains.”

Oh, but coCAINE is fine. Idiocy and a knee-jerk blame-others mentality.

[Deaf Smith]

NYPD should put out PSA ads in social media platforms that they will for free, test everyone’s cocaine for fentanyl.

[technically right]

Good riddance

[from occupied ga]

Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? I can't, for a couple of reasons:

1. They ordered illegal drugs and took them DUH how dumb can you get?
2. They're New Yorkers - 90% likely they were Democrats, but fear not they will still vote for Biden

Frankly anyone who buys and takes recreational drugs is kind of an idiot and deserves the consequences of their actions.

[Bigg Red]

Play stupid games....

Times have sure changed from the days cocaine was snorting at Studio 54.

“Never in a billion years would she have touched anything with fentanyl”

I disagree. If you’re willing to buy hard drugs from a unknown source, or any source for that matter, I suspect your willingness to do most other drugs is pretty high. Just a hunch.
