The death toll is higher than the peak yearly death totals from H.I.V., car crashes or gun deaths...

You'd think with over 300 deaths a week from fentanyl, the word on the street would be to steer far clear of the stuff.

I guess the grapevine ain't what it used to be.

1300 deaths a week, upwards of 300 via mexico/southern border. A “WTC” a month.

and some fentanyl deaths were in laced drugs where people thought they were getting xanex or something else.

Didn’t Prince and Tom Petty die from fentanyl overdoses?

Two top draw “rock stars” died from it (who retained their drawing power in concerts to the end) and yet it isn’t as noted as the deaths of Jimi, Jim, and Janis.

And tens of thousands of “anonymous” regular Janes and Joes. Soon enough (a decade or more?) many Americans will probably personally know some family or friend who was affected by it.
