TV Reporters daughter who is a junkie dies of overdose.

Like Oregon did?

Oregon sees spike in synthetic opioid overdose deaths
So you suggest making opioids available over the counter, along with heroin, meth, etc.?
Talk about not paying attention. This is not something new.

A South Dakota TV news reporter who covered the opioid crisis for years reported on the death of her own daughter Wednesday, detailing how the 21-year-old overdosed on fentanyl just days before a scheduled intervention.


Angela Kennecke chose to share the loss of daughter Emily Groth on news station KELO-TV to raise awareness about the alarming trend.

“Because if just one person hears me, if just one person does one thing to save a life, then I don’t care about a million naysayers or people who don’t understand,” Kennecke said in a special segment. “I just care about that one mother that I can stop from experiencing the pain that I have.”

Groth had been struggling with addiction for more than a year before her May 16 death, the paper reported.

Kennecke was surprised to learn her daughter had been shooting heroin given her middle-class upbringing, she said in a Friday interview.

Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are often mixed into the black-market supplies of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and anti-anxiety medications.

An autopsy revealed Groth had six times what would be considered a therapeutic dose of fentanyl for a large man, Kennecke said, adding that Groth “was just a small young woman” and “didn’t stand a chance.”


She said she noticed red flags in the weeks leading up to her daughter’s death.

“Everything in my instincts told me something is seriously wrong here,” Kennecke said.

An intervention for Groth was scheduled for May 19.

Reporting on the opioid crisis and trying to help her daughter was a balancing act, Kennecke said.

“I had to walk a very fine line between trying to help her, trying to talk to her and alienating her or pushing her away,” she said in a KELO clip.

On average, 155 Americans die each day in the U.S. from an opioid overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The big question is were these drugs illegal and why did she not get her arrested and confined. You and I know that if you don't take action they can die. She failed as a Mother to take the right action.
But liberals want to legalize drugs? Go for it, you want to OD and die, just one less liberal voter we have to deal with. Dumbass...

That is my libertarian side talking, if you want to do it, go for it, just don't come to me when you are all fucked up, and want me to fix it...

The decriminalization (not legalization) of drugs has been proven to lower crime rates, overdoses, and many other negative outcomes.

"In 2001, nearly two decades into Pereira’s accidental specialisation in addiction, Portugal became the first country to decriminalise the possession and consumption of all illicit substances. Rather than being arrested, those caught with a personal supply might be given a warning, a small fine, or told to appear before a local commission – a doctor, a lawyer and a social worker – about treatment, harm reduction, and the support services that were available to them.

The opioid crisis soon stabilised, and the ensuing years saw dramatic drops in problematic drug use, HIV and hepatitis infection rates, overdose deaths, drug-related crime and incarceration rates. HIV infection plummeted from an all-time high in 2000 of 104.2 new cases per million to 4.2 cases per million in 2015. The data behind these changes has been studied and cited as evidence by harm-reduction movements around the globe. It’s misleading, however, to credit these positive results entirely to a change in law."

Portugal’s radical drugs policy is working. Why hasn’t the world copied it?

Not what I said and is especially why I made to point out it is decriminalization, not legalization. Do you know the difference?

No. This would be a lot smoother if you just read the fucking article.
