He was just a good kid, he was so laidback.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe started dabbling in drugs at the age of 19,\u201d Babcock said. \u201cAnd this is what I want to hone in on: he\u2019s dead by 25. Before fentanyl, you had umpteenth chances at recovery \u2013 10, 20, 30 years. Now, you don\u2019t have a chance.

J.J. experimented with what he thought was cocaine, but the drug was actually laced with enough fentanyl to kill 30 adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cRecreational drug use does not exist anymore,\u201d Niederman said. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t a troublemaker, and, ya know, one mistake made cost him his life.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patricia Drewes, who lost her daughter, Heaven, to fentanyl said the border should have been closed \u201call along.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have to,\u201d Drewes stressed. \u201cI mean we have 100,000 kids dying every year in this country.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heaven was raped and subsequently dabbled in pills and then harder drugs to numb the pain, Drewes said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another mother named Rachel Carlisle shared about the loss of her daughter Mariah, who was a mother of three children.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cShe was my whole world,\u201d Carlisle said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carlisle said her daughter had no history of addiction and was very against drugs, seeing people in own family in recovery.

One of the pills she took was laced with fentanyl, killing Mariah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mothers who spoke to Shapiro, as he put it, are \u201cturning\u201d their \u201cpain into purpose.\u201d Some of the women are advocating for harsher drug laws and policies to secure our southern border.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though there were an estimated 112,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/beto-deploying-national-guard-to-texas-border-is-a-solution-in-search-of-problem\/\" title=\"Beto: Deploying National Guard to Texas 'Border is a Solution in Search of Problem'\">000 fentanyl-related deaths<\/a> in the U.S. in 2023 alone, the Biden administration has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-gov-abbott-orders-investigation-into-alien-holding-facilities-amid-reports-of-poor-conditions\/\" title=\"Texas Gov.
