Opioid Memorial Walk in Bay Ridge 10/16

People who say marijuana isn’t addicting don’t know what happens to drugs in our area. Many drug dealers lace marijuana with pcp and other addicting drugs. That’s why they call it a gateway drug – not because they are being dramatic and don’t want you to have a good time.
Many people who have lost a family member or friend to a drug overdose, blame themselves.
Don’t blame yourself or feel embarrassed. Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and being put into drugs around our area. Your person didn’t stand a chance. Drug dealers are using laced drugs to make pills and capsules.
If you have a child or family member who is having a problem with drugs, move out of NYC. Yes, move – save them – there’s little chance here because so many drugs are around and the war on drugs is pretty weak. I’ve had friends uproot their whole lives and move because their child is everything.
Once someone gets hooked, the drugs take hold of them. I’ve seen people go into drug treatment centers repeatedly, but their addiction returns. Families have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on treatment centers. Yet, they return to doing drugs. Some of the unlucky people get zapped by the laced drugs, like my childhood friend. He died on someone’s sofa. We all knew what the autopsy was going to say before it was started.
While walks are nice, more needs to be done so that criminals aren’t able to sell drugs or are afraid of the consequences.
