Volkman was putting most the pills 💊 out in Portsmouth and in lucasville area in scooting county. I was a teenager then and that’s when my addiction came to its full force was with the oxys that was being prescribed to anybody with a ID 🪪 and some cash 💵 those oxys , Xanax , lorcet , percocets was the full force being the opioid epidemic. Now fentanyl has taken over because you have a bunch of addicts running around with an addiction that’s been going on for a long time. The fentanyl is deadly and very scary 😧 but the dealers cut the drug so much it all comes down to greed and wanting to make as much as possible. But that’s facts everything I said is facts 🤷🏻‍♂️💯💯🤷🏻‍♂️ I wonder if there will ever be a solution sometimes I think it would be better if doctors 👨‍⚕️ would prescribe opioids like they used to , so they could push the fentanyl out of here and stop the deaths! 🎬🙏💊💵💯 I believe it would be better for people to be taking pain meds then doing fentanyl and dying. My mom has cancer and can’t
