Thoughts and prayers for all of his family and friends. That's every parents' nightmare. Awful.
NEW: Jake Ehlinger's family release statement regarding his death. Part of it reads, "Today we are sad to share that we have learned that Jake was a victim of an accidental overdose of what was believed to be Xanax laced w/toxic drugs including... Fentanyl." #jakeehlinger #kvue pic.twitter.com/LmomTHuTWq

This saddens me. After a friend of mine OD'd due to Fent I look south at the open door. I'll take it to the politics board.. . . said:NEW: Jake Ehlinger's family release statement regarding his death.

Aren't all overdoses accidental?

I have to blame the dumb assess for taking the crap. Why is it always someone else's fault they OD'd?

Xanax is one of the most abused prescription drugs, right behind opiates. They probably even looked genuine, but were cartel-made counterfeits, which is a thing that happens now.
why would a drug dealer lace another drug with a stronger drug that could kill the user? seems like an easy way to kill business?Emilio Fantastico said:S.A. Aggie said:

Fentanyl is a different beast. Nobody takes fentanyl. The drug dealers lace other drugs with it to give the other drugs more kick so people unwittingly OD on something they thought was otherwise harmless. In this case, it was Xanax.
What I don't get is, if he needed Xanax, he had the means to get a prescription so why buy it on the streets??? Of course, it is probably a thing to abuse it.

Fentanyl is so powerful that even the slightest miscalculation or failure to mix completely can yield spot doses strong enough to kill you. Cartels aren't running commercial mixers 150% over the minimum run times. They're probably being hand shaken in an empty gallon jug by the new guy.AustinCountyAg said:why would a drug dealer lace another drug with a stronger drug that could kill the user? seems like an easy way to kill business?Emilio Fantastico said:S.A.

Is this an example that can be traced back to illegal drugs coming across the border?

You can thank Joe Biden for the open border that lets these illegal drugs cross on a daily basis.
Let's go Brandon!

The pills being sold on the black market look just like the real pill, but have none of the real ingredients. They have the same markings, color and everything. If you buy a pill on the black market, any downer (Xanax, Oxy, etc) is going to contain fentanyl. Any upper (adderall, ecstasy, etc) is going to contain meth. Most of these pills are pressed by gang bangers who sell them in clubs to people who think they're getting the real thing.
