Dr. Phil on the Counterfeit Pill Problem

The Joe Rogan Experience we have epidemics in this country right now that people aren't paying enough attention to well the fentanyl epidemic that one scares the [ __ ] out of me man that one scares the [ __ ] out of me it really does because people are accidentally dying of overdoses it used to be if you died of an overdose it's because you did A Dangerous Drug you took a very risky chance to do something that you probably knew you shouldn't be doing whether it's heroin or meth or something like that but now people are doing things they think are fairly innocuous and it's laced with fentanyl and they're dying well just across the border uh just just South of San Diego in October um of 21. uh they busted um a drug lab that was turning out 70 million counterfeit pills a month one lab 70 million counterfeit pills a month now we don't know that they were all going to come to America but we know a shitload of them were going to come to America and the dea's estimate is that 40 percent of them are laced with lethal levels of fentanyl forty percent forty percent are least are are laced with lethal doses of fentanyl and poisoning fentanyl poisoning is the number one cause of death for people 18 to 49 in this country yeah and and think about that if and and what what these kids need to understand and I want people to understand this and and I don't care if you stop listening to Joe and I talk right now and go call your kid or go call your grandkids or your friend's kids the chance of them first off all these pills you're buying on Snapchat a hundred percent of them are counterfeit they're buying pills on Snapchat they're oh they're buying how does that work you can buy a pill on Snapchat and I'll I'll show you here let me pull this up I know Jamie can't beat me to this if you do I I'm gonna really be impressed he's got it no he doesn't either [ __ ] I'm gonna Snapchat drug dealers how illegal drugs are being dangled to kids on Snapchat Instagram and other platforms scroll down I'll see him if he was going to react no I'm not reacting I'm not reacting I'm looking and I because I've got something okay here we go um like see these Xanax bars here yeah and uh maybe I can send this to Jamie okay then here are the emojis that they use to advertise it with and then here is the menu so who is this cartels that are putting these things up on Snapchat and okay you order them on the Internet yeah here's the deal fentanyl is synthetic and it's all being generated in China so if you want to be a conspiracy theorist this will get your conspiracy juices uh flowing are you airdrop open over there yeah Jamie's Air Book Pro yes okay I just sent you four pictures and they're gone so now you have them okay it's all being generated or synthesized in China and then China is sending it to the Sinaloa cartel and the cartel is then turning it in to these pills and then these pills are coming into America and the DEA estimates that they are intercepting about 10 percent and what they are intercepting is enough to kill every American Jesus Christ the fentanyl is enough to kill so here's the menu every American L.A County delivery it's like make it to that little there he goes so LA County delivery Nationwide shipping low cost low stress highest highs Dr Don guarantee Mr Don 248 so look at all the stuff that they have here perks GMO OG gas and Edibles what does that mean uh that's probably weed gas really yeah THC crumble snow Adderall 20 milligram scripts 2.5 milligram hulks what are those what's a Hulk that's a type of pill off the top of my head I wouldn't know but I'm not it's a pharmapram bottles Ambien 10 milligram scripts hydros 10 mil what is a hydro uh like a hydrocodone and maybe I don't know I think Jesus Christ yeah now go to the um go to the Emojis that I sent you it's one of the images I sent and this is how they communicate percocet oxycodone so there's they have these different emojis yeah there's that combination yeah I mean different things what is that little Emoji next to those two pills that means Xanax it looks like a truck what does that mean delivery yeah I think that means they'll deliver that to your house this is like Postmates wow you call you order this and they'll deliver this to your house in less than an hour and I've had different sets of parents on who's these are kids that and we do pretty good background checks on these I'm talking about and the title of the show we did was one pill kills because these were not kids that were drug addicts they weren't doing heroin and that sort of thing and we checked because like one of the girls we got her credit card information we saw she ordered one pill we went back like much ordered one pill and she wanted to get some sleep before finals and we found three quarters of the pill in her top dresser drawer her parents found it and the police came because she broke it in half and then broke it in half again so she took a quarter of one pill and they found her dead in the morning because it had so much fentanyl in it that it just killed her and this isn't an overdose this is poisoning you think this is purposeful well the reason they put it in there and put this one up and the reason they put it in there is because it's so highly addictive but they're not smart or they don't care if they're killing a certain percentage of their customers but here's the deal fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin a hundred times stronger than morphine so if you bite into this you're dead when you hit the ground and so she took a quarter of it boom gone and um their estimate is that 40 percent of these pills that they're getting have lethal doses of Fentanyl and the ones that don't have enough in it that you are addicted like that so they come back for more and more and more and more um and now there are conspiracy theorists including a former DEA guy that believes that China is manufacturing this stuff synthesizing this stuff sitting to the Sinaloa cartel who's flooding it into America and they're just trying to poison or drug Americans um it's just another attack he believes it's a terrorist attack and it's interesting he has a demo that he does he just takes a a little packet of sweetener and dumps it in his hand and he says that enough that much fentanyl's enough to kill 500 people it's just it's it's it's staggering and we've got to get this message out to the kids don't do it it those pills look exactly like the pills that you get at the pharmacy and what they're doing now Joe is they're putting them in these pastel colors uh and I think I sent you some of those Jamie uh in the pastel colors they're making them look like these candies that the kids get and kids are going to see these things around and pick them up and think they're like Sweet Tarts or or whatever and bite into them um if if I was a parent I would go to the store and buy every kind of candy I could find and as soon as my kids came home from trick-or-treating I would take their pumpkin and dump it into the trash and then fill it back up with candy I knew was good and hand it back to them I wouldn't let them take a single piece of candy from trick-or-treating because you don't know what's in there that was always the fear right when we were kids that someone was going to sneak in we thought it would be a razor blade in an apple or something yeah I saw this going around but I heard a lot of people pushing back a couple days after this was made major headlines because they were showing them say no who's the expert I don't I'm just it there was a lot of uh hubbub about this viral picture because this went out the D.A was talking about it but then I read there was like no evidence that this was real what was that that's what I read well let's scroll down and see what they say in terms of looks like candy DEA administrator Alan or Ann uh Milgram told CBS News in fact some of the drug traffickers have nicknamed It Sweet Tarts Skittles the DEA alert didn't mention Halloween but fear is about rainbow Fentanyl and the holiday went viral D.A warning meets skepticism from drug experts drug policy experts contacted by NPR agree there's no new fentanyl threat this Halloween many are also skeptical of the dea's original warning they don't believe that Mexican drug cartels and Street dealers have launched any new campaign targeting children I don't see any evidence that the DEA has produced that supports that conjecture I don't think they're targeting children I think the fact that they are making these things in pastel colors make children vulnerable to picking these things up yeah you you want to argue over the the word targeting if a child picks up something that look you know I I said that young girl that I was talking about took three quarters of a pill or one quarter of a pill and three quarters of it was left in her drawer yeah if she has a a younger sister or something that sees that picks it up and it looks like candy and eats it she's gone right yeah it's I'm not saying we're targeting not saying he's targeting yeah I don't care if you use the word targeting or not it's it's it's dangerous and I'm just saying I'm uh you know my grandkids they won't be getting any candy out of that and it's not that anywhere they're going is going to be giving out front and all the kids it's just they don't know where they're right where it's coming from yeah you don't you're not getting it from a store and that makes it dangerous and I my point is if you're in school and you're studying for finals and you're not a drug addict and you think well one pill is not going to hurt that's no longer true you may be thinking I'll get some Adderall get me through my finals that could be a fatal decision it won't be an overdose it'll be a poisoning it's very dangerous and if you're getting it from someone other than a pharmacy there's a high possibility well the dea's belief is that all of the pills that you're getting on social media are counterfeit and that as much as 40 of them have fatal doses of fentanyl lethal dose is fentanyl because they're so unsophisticated in their mix so it's not a matter of poisoning as much as it's a matter of they don't give a [ __ ] and they're just I mean they're not like accredited Labs these people are just mixing [ __ ] up and they're making this stuff up in a bathtub they're making it up in a in a yeah you're mixing it up and then they're putting it in a pill press and letting it dry and shipping it over here they um today on CNN they said they arrested some uh it was either CNN or Fox one of the two they arrested some 14 year olds coming across the border and they had a couple of thousand pills on them um and uh who knows where it came from who knows what else is in it right

I am not sure Dr. Phil is working for the Chinese But I agree with you about him being a sneaky way to attack Americans!
