These deaths are poisonings not overdoses💔
-
Its not overdoses, its mass poisonings.
-
CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER ALREADY.
-
Fentynal poisoning is not an overdose.
-
Appreciate your efforts but please stop calling it “overdosing”. If it is Fentanyl, it is a “poisoning”. And all too often, it is a naive teen, not an addict, looking to escape anxiety or something of the like, who thinks they’re buying Xanax or Percocet, yet it is Fentanyl and they are tragically killed.

For all of you who think any governmental agency, local, state or otherwise can fix anything, I say, " it is way too late for that."
-
Shut the damn border.

There are people who have chronic pain that need narcotics but doctors are reluctant to prescribe.. Eventually, these patients will seek go to the streets

Taking these counterfeit pills is like playing Russian Roulette with a Loaded Gun.

My prayers for this community. I carry Narcan in my car and purse. This crisis is just insane.

There are so many reasons in addition to this one to vote out the incumbent Austin City Council and Travis County District Attorney

El chapo said if he doesn't get better treatment he was going to unleash something.i bet this is it
-
It's so sad that pain patients can't get any relief anymore. Legal, regulated opioid prescriptions have been cut by 60%, while people still need surgery and have accidents. Our doctors have abandoned the principle of non-maleficence, and are driving the demand for illicit fentanyl.

Start slow, low and have a sober friend, what a crock, it’s like you’re giving these people permission to do drugs. What happened to just say NO. If someone chooses to do drugs they should be prepared for the consequences. They have nothing to fear when normal citizens are walking around with Narcan.
-
People who take drugs know the risks.
-
My Condolences to all the family's that have lost loved ones.
