A new synthetic opiate has killed dozens of European heroin users. Nitazenes, which are up to 300 times more potent than heroin, are increasingly showing up in the continent’s drug supply, sparking fears that they could fuel a surge of overdoses, on par with North America’s fentanyl crisis.

Half to one percent. Okay, now I understand the problem. With an OD rate that low, people would scoff if you tried to warn them of the danger.
Damn this europe on the other side off wall looks fucked up XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
Don't tell Canada. Maid will start purchasing it
This what produce the prohibition! Regulation now!
Bro just smoke weed ffs
authorises want folks to be high and unaware of the stuff they are doing with policies
fent 2 before gta 6 thats crazy
I am amazed at how passionately the narrator speaks. /s
First of all, how many people out of these 110,000 people died from prescription drug overdoses? I'm not saying Fentanyl is good, but Americans have had a problem with prescription opioid abuse for a much longer time. Approximately 21-29% of patients taking prescription opioid medications for chronic pain conditions abuse them. I think that Europe has fewer problems with this type of phenomena because drugs that are a gateway to heroin and then Fentanyl are not so easily available. I come from Poland and in the opinion of my compatriots, drugs such as heroin are simply the end of the road for losers. And this attitude has been instilled in us for many decades. Even the Hip-Hop community and Rappers sharply criticized the use of substances that cause loss of consciousness and even called for a fight against people selling such substances. I can't say I've never seen a person addicted to heroin, but we don't have pockets of junkies in every city. The problem for Americans is that they flew into space with prescription drugs containing opioids and their availability. This problem may affect European countries that are a bit more liberal. The Polish legislator literally does not provide for any punishment for "drug use". However, taking drugs falls within the very definition of drug possession, and such an act is already punishable.
Governments fault, sick society
Every time I land back in detox, I look around and think to myself, “what happened? How am I here again?”
Every relapse is as though I’ve completely let go of the reigns, and then once I do grab them again, who or what ever had them has already driven me straight back into opioid hell.
I’m 28 and I still can’t stop, and I want to so fucking badly. I’m getting really scared.
Muslims and now Fentanyl europe is being killed by both fronts
So dealers are now inadvertently killing all their customers 😂🤦♂️
The CCP is trying to Poison the world.
u man fell off after alhan left icl
Where’s all those people that keep saying this only an American problem 😂😂😂
"in Europe", then talks about England..
In 2021 they cracked down on the heroin he said..
But the heroin market has been dried up for a lot longer than 3 years..
More like 20 years ago now it dried up..
Why dont they stop Banning the heroin poppys so hard then..?
Itll probably save lives in all reality!!!
Jesus Christ… What a mistake that was..
Its almost like the alchahol prohibition.. because people use it anyway.
Just leave people alone..
Maybe it was there choice.
You dont know what people been through in their lives.
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then poop as much as you want!
lose the camera flipping ..its amateurish.
yet many fools want drugs legalised
nitazene is pretty much 99 percent of oxys sold on street. even in valium now
Every single person who used iv in there groining including myself eventually will completely lose there ability to walk using iv below the waist is extremely dangerous and you will get blood clots
Excellent report indeed.
"European authorities aren't prepared for the coming synthetics that's about to hit them"… Mah man:
> Percent of population using opioids in the US: 3.8%, over 10 million people.
> Percent for the same in Europe: 0.33%, about 1 million people.
I never understand why people choose these drugs. There is better way of life, if you want it. These drugs are a death sentence!!!
While obviously fentanyl is an issue, and there are addicts in Europe as well, but calling it an "European opioid crisis" is just so misleading, not least because there are comparatively better treatment programs for addicts, but literally no sane doctor in Europe would give away opioids like candy… Make no mistake, the opioid crisis in the US exists purely by design. It could end in a year if the government actually gave a f*ck.
Europe isn't covered with Fentanyl because the Chinese aren't pumping it in there like they are I. North America, specifically the USA. Idk who brought this new stuff into Europe or why. I do know why they have done this in the USA. It's part of their war against us.
LOL I can barely get an appointment for an NHS dentist. this is a priority?
This is soo scary how people still do drugs when they see the results. It no way these people are feeling good when they take the drugs but they don’t stop. It’s a disease that takes so much more than rehab to help cure. I live in Philadelphia and down Kensington it’s worst than this! It’s walking zombies they are literally the walking dead smh so many sores on their bodies & the police & citizens talk to them like they are animals but I have compassion for them. Humans have to have compassion for each other that’s the only way we can even attempt to get a hand on this disease. I pray for all who are addicts & especially functioning addicts. 🙏🏾
I use to leave in Bristol.. or the Capital of cocaine in Europe.drugs are very common thing there
death brought on by usless bureaucracy
I am praying for all who are addicted to these terrible drugs. Please open their eyes and save them. Please bless and protect them. I pray in Jesus Christ mighty name Amen.
Much Love
-Sarah
Jesus died and rose again for everyone's past, present and future sins. Jesus paid it all. Jesus loves you
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures;
The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ.
Jesus died for our sins, He was buried and He rose again on the third day.
JESUS LOVES YOU
Normal isn’t coming back, but Jesus Christ is. Jesus is coming for His bride the church in the clouds very soon. He will RAPTURE His bride. May today be the day you believe (i.e trust in Jesus Christ alone, His death, burial, and resurrection for your justification) and you are saved. Blessings to you in Jesus Christ mighty name.
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
This drug has been on the Swedish dark net market for over 2 years now, and is currently in the 40mg, 20mg and 80mg oxycontin pills, also sold as nasal spray just like the fentanyl crisis in 2016 when you could buy spray bottles with just pure fentanyl. It will only get worse from here on out sadly..
Considering how much the rest of the world makes fun of the US, they aren’t very keen on learning from the mistakes that we make.
