    There is a 99.9% chance this information is wrong. From an economic standpoint, it makes zero sense for a "dealer" to add fentanyl to their product. Having to buy a patch, extract the fentanyl, and then implement it into your flower to make a final sale will give a final profit of "$-10" according to Leafly (i.e., you would lose money per sale) Also, Fentanyl deadly effects are no longer present in its chemical composition when heat is applied, so if you were to say light a joint, or heat up wax in a cart, the Fentanyl would be rendered practically useless anyways. Please educate yourselves before listening to mass hysteria.

    There’s no reason to buy from the streets and bring your own stuff if hanging with "friend’s." Also just like a glass containing alcohol, don’t leave your stuff laying around.

    THE MARIJUANA WE SMOKED BACK IN THE DAY, WAS MORE POTENT , HIGH LAST LONGER. THIS IS SO SO FAKE NEWS ON SO SO MANY LEVELS



  6. @user-lt3lo9dm5s on May 14, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    I want some fentanyl in my weed sounds like a good idea to me



  7. @caliboymalachi on May 14, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.



  9. @theyisnothere on May 14, 2024 at 1:27 pm

    Also i saw comment that even your grandpa was smoking loud



  10. @jakemonroe5476 on May 14, 2024 at 1:28 pm

    This is trash



  11. @wvucoop on May 14, 2024 at 1:32 pm

    Kid gets caught using fent and blames it on weed



  12. @vesselfeargaming3179 on May 14, 2024 at 1:32 pm

    Almost 420 🥰🥰🥰



  13. @foresightstudios9919 on May 14, 2024 at 1:32 pm

    420 game on itch and Steam called Weedys World. 1 or 2 player Pac-man Sim. Created by a real cannabis Dispensary in MI called Glazed & Confused



  14. @joshriver75 on May 14, 2024 at 1:33 pm

    This is total BS! Nobody is "lacing" weed with fentanyl. There is no point in it. Dealers deal to make money not waste money.
    This is a case of teens NOT being honest about their drug use.



  15. @EzraWhite-ql2tx on May 14, 2024 at 1:33 pm

    Acting like its new weed has been getting laced with fetynol for a long long long time



  16. @historyhunter5215 on May 14, 2024 at 1:37 pm

    It’s been found in Tx. Bet one thing… I smoke this sh*t and see who’s asking like Biggie, "Who shot ya?"



  17. @lildonnyonyt on May 14, 2024 at 1:37 pm

    its cheaper to sell normal weed then lacing it with fentanyl 😂😂



  18. @CHEFRP999 on May 14, 2024 at 1:38 pm

    Cap but if so, you can’t get high of the Fentanyl because the heat you need to burn weed is way to hot for the fentanyl effects and you would straight up butn it away…



  19. @thebluecollarbadass9945 on May 14, 2024 at 1:40 pm

    Yeah pretty soon it will be in the breakfast cereal what a disaster 😮



  20. @Heavymetalstonie420 on May 14, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    Everything she said is all wrong. Weed helps with depression and anxiety has no effect on the I.Q some of the smartest people smoked weed. And is definitely definitely not a gateway drug. Stupidity is i know people that have been smoking weed for years and have never ever once did anything else. I know people that have never ever smoked weed and got hooked on the hard sht and you know what led them to the hard sht pills not it was pills. Get it right people weed is not a gateway drug 💊 PIILS are a gate way drug.



  21. @theprivatepr0ject on May 14, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    No one going to mention that when you burn fentanyl its destroyed so if you had any in or on your weed it wouldnt do anything cus it would be destroyed by the burn



  22. @pipfpv7489 on May 14, 2024 at 1:42 pm

    this isn’t real



  23. @INLANDEMPIRE_909 on May 14, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    That’s my favorite 🤩 type of flower



  24. @user-vn2ly2fg5w on May 14, 2024 at 1:50 pm

    Sin Tax Holy Anointing Oil .. pay teachers to change yer kids gender or orientation. yay libturds.



  25. @rjmswag854 on May 14, 2024 at 1:50 pm

  26. @Italocanadese81 on May 14, 2024 at 1:50 pm

    Had nothing to do w fentanyl



  27. @michaelversant8401 on May 14, 2024 at 1:50 pm

    LOl..A story you’ll only find on Fox. They have no shame!



  28. @INLANDEMPIRE_909 on May 14, 2024 at 1:51 pm

    It’s not a gate way drug. My first drug of choice was crystal meth.



  29. @jamesthedude....9584 on May 14, 2024 at 1:51 pm

    Buy yo sith from someone that’s legitimate.



  30. @cowboybeebop3451 on May 14, 2024 at 1:54 pm

    No, dispensary weed is kind of crappy
    More potent my booty
    The THC might be higher but the effects are mild AF compared to real strains



  31. @JaimyMalenfant on May 14, 2024 at 1:54 pm

    Not really different but since the legalization here 🇨🇦 over the last 3-4 years weed went from 18%-25% from 19-21 then 22-23 it’s been 25%-35% never seen 35 but I’ve seen 30% thc don’t know if there testing is accurate but yeah I still have all the old jars they used to have before it was legalize they had fake weed shops all over the city which most of them are legal now big dip in terps



  32. @ChicagoMade-theonly on May 14, 2024 at 1:54 pm

    Obvious as hell that big pharma is doing this funny that shortly after its legalized now weed is laced with fentanyl cant wait til they get taken down they think it will never happen but its probably going to happen sooner than they think is possible



  33. @frickimiss2969 on May 14, 2024 at 1:57 pm

    Well the heat from the fire of the lighter will completely destroy the fentanyl deeming it useless so no concern there



  34. @lunarcdr3083 on May 14, 2024 at 1:57 pm

    Dont want to alarm kids, literally the ones using it. Instead inform parents who are oblivious to what their kids are doing



  35. @PaulBeninger on May 14, 2024 at 1:58 pm

    Fent can’t be smoked with weed, they have different burning points. It would ruin the fentanyl lol it would melt. Stop spreading garbage misinformation



  36. @Bobbbybags on May 14, 2024 at 1:58 pm

    Your source is a doctor who had a bunch of kids test positive for Fentanyl and say “but I only smoked weed bro, I swear”? 😂



  37. @MartinSage on May 14, 2024 at 1:59 pm

    WHAT!!! That’s SICK!



  38. @jonwon2943 on May 14, 2024 at 2:00 pm

    This sounds like a reefer madness advertisement, notice how against the dr is towards marijuana leaving out all the medical benefits with old outdated beliefs and claims such as “gateway” and causes depression… really? I thought we were talking about laced pot?



  39. @RobustWhenUnarmed on May 14, 2024 at 2:01 pm

    then fucking legalize it federally so kids don’t die damn. so stupid to say weed is the problem here you idiots



  40. @GetsmokedB on May 14, 2024 at 2:02 pm

    They have the nerve to call weed a gateway drug but they prescribe legitimate gateway drugs like opiates lol. The only thing weed tends to lead to is tobacco atleast thats how it was for me personally and alot of others.



  41. @socalhippie420 on May 14, 2024 at 2:02 pm

    More stupid reefer madness 🙄 It’s not the 1940’s and 1950’s anymore so get over yourself and get educated about the truth about "Cannabis" not "marijuana" which is a racist term used for the plant.Also all this hype about "fentanyl" being in the weed is a lie and no dealers are going to waste their time and good drugs to lace cannabis with fentanyl when it sells great on its own or in combination with trank.This is just another example of the ridiculous lies and propaganda mainstream media spews out about that has no factual basis to go on.Its 2024.Get with the times and get educated 🙄



  42. @tps_jafat0108 on May 14, 2024 at 2:04 pm

    Nah



  43. @BenTheAdventurer on May 14, 2024 at 2:06 pm
