At a press conference Tuesday, Governor Chris Sununu delivered some grim news: carfentanil, a powerful new opioid, has been linked to two deaths in Manchester.
Hours later fire officials in the city were preparing.
"Just be hyper, hyper vigilant of what is out there, hyper vigilant of where you put your hands, what you come in contact with," Manchester Fire's EMS Director Chris Hickey told the city's firefighters during one of his two training sessions Wednesday.
This kind of drug is unlike anything they’ve dealt with before. It’s designed to be used as a tranquilizer...for elephants. And its lethal dosage is 20 micrograms, which is as tiny as a snowflake. Even getting it on your skin could be deadly.

Good. Get it over with. I'm sick of my tax dollars going to Methadone, clean needles and Narcan for idiots who will just keep ODing and stealing stuff to pay for their fix. Everybody wants to cut off and deport illegals because they broke the law, but they aren't even half as much a drain on the economy and society as these JUNKIES!
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%
DeleteAgree totally. Such a damn waste.
Delete2:10 Bravo, what a humanitarian.
ReplyDeleteWow 2:10, hopefully others wouldn't feel the same about you if you needed some help
ReplyDelete2:10 here. If I ever need your help it won't be because I was stupid enough to put the needle in my arm then repeat 5 times daily. I have had friends go down that road and it turned them into the worst liars and thieves you will ever find. If we decided to stop being a country of enablers this problem will stop real fast! Most will quit, some will die, but they were going to die eventually anyway no matter how much 4:26 prays for them.
DeleteI pray for you 2:10 that you are never touched by the disease of addiction. I pray for all the sick and suffering. Blessings
ReplyDeleteThe best way to stop the Heroin epidemic is to build the wall!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how some gripe about their 'tax dollars' going to help people, but they don't say a word about that same money going towards bombs and such to kill people, isn't it?

all different kinds of people from all demographics are addicts, it has nothing to do with intelligence or social status. Although being they were YOUR friends, I tend to agree they were stupid.
