Chicago warns Lollapalooza-goers to be wary of fentanyl: ‘Test your drugs’

Chicago public health officials are advising Lollapalooza goers to test their drugs before partaking to make sure they are not laced with fentanyl.

The Chicago Department of Public Health put out a warning a day before the four-day music festival was set to begin in Grant Park.

“ATTN Chicago & LOLLA FANS,” a tweet from CDPH reads. “Fentanyl is a strong opioid that can easily cause overdose. Test your drugs before you use, carry Narcan, and don’t use alone. Call 911 if you suspect someone is overdosing.”

CDPH said fentanyl is found in cocaine, MDMA and other drugs – not just heroin. The department also said Narcan and fentanyl test strips can be picked up at Chicago public libraries “in easy-to-access Narcan dispenser kits.”

Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is a drug used to help to reverse symptoms of an overdose and save lives. Opioid overdoses typically include a drop in blood pressure, slowed heart rate, slowed or stopped breathing, blue lips and pale skin.

... and just how are they supposed to 'test' their drugs?  Let their friend try first, and if he doesn't die that means the smack is okay?

Just Say No ... To Liberals

Not to worry, the Chicago government is right there for the druggies:

Just go down to your local public library - you know, the place that used to be full of books used for studying - and test for fentanyl.

I suggest that the attendees forego all tests, and take the heaviest doses possible...
