Yesterday while VT played football I attended the funeral of a 22 year old beautiful girl who overdosed. It could have been either of my children who are both in treatment. I know of 3 young people who have overdosed in Richmond in the last 3 weeks. How many are there in total? Synthetic opioids like fentanyl have changed the equation and using is far more deadly than heroin. The woman's behavior in that article is a desperate call for help and suggests empathy.
