Kreuzberg in danger: new drug wave with fatal fentanyl!
In the middle of the pulsating life of Kreuzberg, a dangerous drug is bubbling, which even puts the darkest corners of the Görlitz park and Kottbusser Tor in the shade. Those who are still surprised find injections on the floor - a visible sign of decay. But now something new comes into play! A drug that is already responsible for a frightening number of deaths in other countries has found its way to Berlin!
Juri Schaffranek, a brave street worker at the Gangway association, decided to speak plain text. In a explosive report in the neighborhood center Kiezanker 36, he revealed that Fentanyl is very popular in Kreuzberg. What does this mean for districts that are already plagued by drug problems? The nightmare continues!
fentanyl strikes like a bomb!
After the drug market has been flooded with crack since 2017, Fentanyl now makes its way into the hearts of the drug addicts. This is not a simple fabric; This opioid is up to 100 times stronger than morphine-and it is addictive! Year after year tens of thousands of people in the USA die due to this dreaded drug.
In 2021 the shattering balance came: between 70,000 and 80,000 opioid overdoses demanded their cruel victims in the United States. Fentanyl has established itself as the number one cause of death among people between the ages of 18 and 45, even before fatal diseases and accidents. A disaster that the Berliners cannot ignore!
What is fentanyl anyway? It is a strong pain reliever that is usually prescribed for acute and chronic pain. But what circulates in the Kreuzberg drug scene has it all! These dangerous doses often come from used medical pavement that mitigate the perpetrators to get the potent means in their syringes. This is not only dangerous, but also fatal!
And not just that! The fentanyl is also often smoked or glued directly to the lips - methods that increase the danger extremely. Juri Schaffranek makes it clear that the number of consumers in Berlin has increased from a few to more and more users. Fentanyl could be the next big shock for the already battered Kreuzberg, and that's just the beginning!
