May they rot in a jail cell for the rest of their lives. Today would have been my aunt’s 59th birthday if she didn’t die from fentanyl that was legally prescribed to her. So many people have died from fentanyl. Really sad.
@BigAppleRed when my n mom was in ICU I remember seeing that on one of the machines that she was hooked up to
That is extremely dangerous even if breathing it in. Omg! Why are people so illiterate?
@globalcitizenNY just proves we can’t fix stupid!!
Why are we blaming and race when the only people to blame here are THE PARENTS that were getting high.
Hey geniuses here this is not abt politics because neither side should be supporting this, nobody is.
