Fentanyl is already bad, mixing it with horse tranquilizer doesn't seem like a good idea

Reported for insulting my neighbor.

"Fucking one bridge having piece of shit city!"

I just see a bunch of hardworking folks that tuckered themselves out from a productive day on the job. Nobody can match the Philadelphia work ethic. Everyone works hard to make this city great. Go Philly!

Makes sense, after a long day of labor, a Philly worker takes his well deserved horse tranquilizer to deal with the stress of everyday life. That's why this city is so great!

Red states are just as worse with drugs

Its not a competition.

Any time you read "zombie like" in a news piece about drugs, you can safely close the tab of sensationalism you're viewing.

Saw a video, probably around start of the year, of Kensington and it looked the same then as now.

The sad part is, there is likely no real helping those people without investing hefty resources or completely removing them to another part of the state, away from any kind of access to anything and anyone they've probably ever known. And that doesn't even begin to address the rehab and recovery.

Fent will do that shit to you.

Fentanyl is not your standard opiate. That shit will kill.

The lethality of a drug really has nary to do with using language like "zombie-like" as a reporter. That's well established sensational language in the recent history of drug use reporting, and it's as dishonest here as in any other instance. It's not intended to make people concerned about their personal health if they use the drug, but to make others view drug addicts unsympathetically and as a hazard that needs to be dealt with.

I mean having a bunch of people fent bent on the side walk, unaware of where they are is a hazard.

The use of the phrasing is intended to bait clicks, but it also isn't inaccurate.

City dgaf anymore and just let Kensington serve as an ironic cultural landmark/embarrassment.

I feel like the Fentanyl is doing the heavy lifting.

The media has been sensationalist about drugs in the past but I feel this time it's different. I had never seen a drug that makes users stay bent over for hours like that tbh.
