April 4, 2024 – It is very easy to find fentanyl in New York. Torren showed me how to connect to fentanyl dealers even on social media sites as apparently innocent as Instagram. He showed me how, if you know the variations of words to put in, it is easy to connect to dealers. Instagram’s bosses try to chase this down, he explained, but the dealers always find a way around them.
In Torren’s view, most of the fentanyl now arriving on America’s streets doesn’t just come through Mexico but is also made there.
Of course, it is insane that a drug of this lethality should be so easily available.
It took me no time to find it.
But this is one of the reasons why New York health authorities last year suggested that all New Yorkers carry Narcan around with them.
I went to a pharmacist who stocks the spray.
It goes up the nose and kickstarts the brain to override an overdose.
I was told that if you can get this up someone’s nose before their lips go blue, you can reliably save their life.
As the pharmacist near 10th Avenue told me, “If you see somebody overdosing or anything, you spray it in their nose and it blocks it. It’ll bring them back to life if they’re dozing off or anything.”
