Mother Says ‘gas station heroin’ Killed Her Son

VIDEO – TAKING A WRONG TURN –

Feb. 29. 2024 – Tianeptine doesn’t actually contain heroin, and is often sold as a dietary supplement in gas stations, convenience stores, smoke shops and online. It can produce an opioid-like high, and has been linked to overdoses and some deaths. Ohio man Chris Haggarty died in November 2023 at the age of 37. Toxicology results led to an official finding that he died from the toxic effects of tianeptine and other significant conditions.

His mother Karen Haggarty said her son bought a bottle containing tianeptine at a gas station.

“I miss him dearly,” said Haggarty who describe the dreaded call she got about her son on Nov. 5. “$15 a bottle. How many people bought it besides my son? It was for sale at the gas station just right next to the lottery tickets and the cigarettes.”
