History of Fentanyl
What is Fentanyl? Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is often hidden in other drugs. People who are addicted to fentanyl usually don't realize it is in the marajana or cocaine they are buying. Fentanyl is easily addictive and can easily kill you. In the U.S. almost 1,000,000 people are addicted to fentanyl. Fentanyl is 50 times times more addictive than herion. If herion can ruin your life, just imangine how bad fentanyl can be.
Tony’s story. Tony got unknowingly addicted to fentanyl in their college years. They smoked marijuana at a party and later found out that it was spiked with fentanyl. After they found out that it was spiked with fentanyl they said they would stop. They later came around and had another dose unknowingly. Most fentanyl addictions start in the college years. College years - unknown addcition. Most of the people who do try a dose of fentanyl often chase the "high" that they got from it, which is what leads them back.
Fentanyl is a scary drug. All drugs are scary drugs. I think that no one should take their chances with any drug, because it would be infused with fentanyl. No matter if your drug is infused with fentanyl or not, all drugs have bad side effects. In the U.S. almost 100,000 people died THIS YEAR from a fentanyl overdose. Often times Fentanyl can follow you not only to your grave but your childrens grade. Next time you think about "smoking weed" at a party double think about the real addictions it can lead to.

Good topic choice and well done overall Kinsleigh! I would like a little more history of this drug within your summary.
The number of deaths don't suprise me. Addiction is a serious problem all around the world. I've heard about people getting addicted through parties or by doing drugs with friends for recreation. I have mainly heard about other drugs being laced with fentanyl.
I kind of surprised me, but not really because I already kind ogf knew about it and knew that people can get addicted pretty easily. I don't really know, but I know that it can get like connected with other drugs. I do beleive that must drug addictions could happen to start in college.
It doesn't surprise me since most drugs are addictive. I don't know any other causes of fentanyl addictions but I would assume peer pressure is one of the main contributors. Yes, I could understand why most addictions start in college.
Yes, I thought there would have been a lot less and not as many deaths. Accidental addictions I've heard are a thing from someone putting it into a drink or something. Yes, I think during college is when most kids get access to drugs and others.
It didn't really surprise me because I already knew about it but it is upsetting how people get addicted so easily and then those drugs could be lased rwith fetinal. I am not sure I just know that it can get laced with other drugs. I do believe that most drug addictions could start in college.
I wasn't really surprised because a lot of people are addicted to drugs. I don't really know any. I've heard that people will get addicted by it at parties or a friends tries to make them start.
No not really. I dont know any beside it tastes good. No, most addiction starts in college.
The number of deaths didn't surprise me because the amount of fentanyl being put into the country. I'm too sure on this but I'm pretty sure that you can get addicted by being prescribed it by doctors. I think they could because there a lot of parties that have fentanyl and people usually take it during parties.
I was not surprised because I feel like so many people are addicted to drugs in our country, and once they are addicted, they don't stop. I think that so many other drugs that are laced with fentanyl, people will try them and get addicted.
