Mac's music always puts a smile on my face. Really sad for him and his family and friends.

I have gotten into his music since his death and it is a damn shame such a talented artist couldn't overcome his addictions.

fentanyl? that's a stronger opioid than heroin right? very careless to put that in your body and even worse if you combine it with alcohol and coke. poor guy, i don't know much about mac miller but maybe he was depressed or his breakup really messed him up

Hes discussed depression and sadness numerous times, but bhis recent album swmming details it all and how he was overcoming it.

So sad to see a talent like that grow. Hes like tyler the creator for me as an artist who has developed his craft so much over the course of years, and still had so much more potential and growth.

Sad to see demons got the better of him.

It's always fucking fentanyl. It's crazy how anyone risks to touch the stuff - it's extremely deadly.

I mean, I'd get massively fucked up aswell if Arianna Grande dumped me.
Poor guy, he was so talented. Really sad to see him go because of something like this.

A lot of weaker stuff sold on the street is cut with fentanyl to make it more addictive.

Drugs and alcohol are a fucking blight on society tbh

When I saw someone had died unexpectedly at such a young age I knew it was going to be one of those (and they run together for a lot of people)

Coroner report showed a mix of fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol in Mac's system.

If you're struggling with addiction please seek help or if you need someone to talk to message me.

Damn, pretty likely he just had bad luck with fentanyl-laced coke. Awful way to go, the rising popularity of cutting with fentanyl is making a horrible epidemic even worse :(

Breakups can be very hard, yeah. Heroin dulls the pain. Or fentanyl. Either way he was in pain.

I came across a woman that was on fentanyl while waiting at the bus stop and her boyfriend came after her 20 minutes later looking for her and told me she was on it.

I was sitting there looking at her, me confused, as she was asking me for my name and looking at me with no essence of normal mental capacity in her eyes.

I know it's a bad thing to get involved in people's life situations, but I really regret not helping her. I should have stayed with her because I don't know what could have happened to her. She was around her early to mid twenties and seemed she could be a very beautiful participant of our society, but something just went wrong.

This stuff hits home, and that's because I grew up knowing that part of my extended family were addicts and dealers when I was younger. Their lives are now flipped upside down, and what sucks is that, while these celebrities die to these drug addictions, so many people don't understand how big the current opiod epidemic is.

I mean, I'd get massively fucked up aswell if Arianna Grande dumped me.

I don't think it's right at all to blame Ariana. It was already known by people that knew him that he had issues with drugs.

Just a bad situation all-round. So much talent has been lost on a national and international scale due to drug addiction and suicides. It's like drug addiction and self admitted suicidal thoughts are the most tolerated until it leads to someone's death.

If you can intervene, no matter how much energy it may take from you at the moment, don't be like me, and just do it.

Oh I wasn't blaming her at all, I mean it's not her fault if he already had issues with substance abuse. I'm just saying that it certainly played a big role in all this, but she definitely isn't to blame for it.

I imagine he was actually mixing drugs. Speed balling is a thing. I'm not saying the overdose wasn't an accident, there's just nothing to suggest that the coke he had was contaminated.

He's had cocaine and opioid addictions long before his breakup or even the relationship. Also I doubt he intentionally mixed in the Fentanyl, it is mixed with illicit drugs unintentionally, probably best not to comment on a sensitive topic if you don't know what you're talking about.

But why are you saying that when you don't know that it "certainly played a big role", you're making it up.

Yes there is, because fentanyl laced coke it quite common and he wouldn't have mixed alcohol unless he wanted to die and no evidence points to this being a suicide.

People don't usually take fentanyl on purpose. It's usually mixed with other dope. Most likely the case here.

It's crazy how bad things are now with fentanyl and how little is being done to curb it.

RIP.
i honestly dont know who is ...

Come on. There's far too many people on this forum who throw ignorance around as an excuse. You live in a time where most of the devices you own can serve you the information you claim to lack in record time.

People here saying that people usually don't take fentynal on purpose are misinformed

There is a HUGE demand for the drug on the streets. Because it is that powerful

Not speaking on Mac Miller specifically, but many, many people DEMAND Fentynal from their dealers.

SOURCE; I live in Vancouver, which has one of the worst opioid crisis in North America. This idea that most people 'accidentally' take Fentynal is ludicrous.

I thought coke was being cut with fentynal and thats how people were OD'ing. Is fentynal similar to cocaine by itself, or what does it do?

It's a combination of both. But the demand for just pure Fentynal is certainly high. Out west like you say is pretty bad. Also it's quite a problem in Ontario especially more northern areas. It also has and even higher ratio of usage in some indigenous communities.

It's a sad affair, these drugs ruin lives. I hope we eventually get it under control.

Fentynal comes in tiny little pieces, they look like like those old Nerds candies. Purple. When you take a tiny, tiny amount you get fucked up. The high is more intense than heroin.

Most of the time when people report coke being cut with Fentynal it's actually cross-contamination- ie, the coke and the Fentynal are weighed on the same scale, and Fentynal is THAT heavy duty that it contaminates the cocaine. That happens a lot more often than people deliberately cutting coke with it

There is absolutely a large demand for Fentynal on its own.

There's been like a handful of recent examples of this at raves. It doesn't happen that often. Coke dealers aren't actively trying to kill their customers.

This is true, in Vancouver at least.

I just had a friend OD and die a few months ago, and it was from fentanyl. The story is that he bought bad coke off some guy in the downtown eastside because his regular guy wasn't available, but my other friend, the guy that actually does fentanyl on the regular, said he knew what he was taking before he overdosed. Just tragic.

People on the streets in Vancouver WANT fentanyl. It's cheaper and stronger than heroin. My friend that takes it says you can barely find regular heroin on the streets anymore. There's no demand for it.

I never said that you said insensitive stuff, I said this topic is sensitive and what you posted was you just talking out of your ass.

No shit the dealers aren't, its because people weigh their drugs or manufacture them on the same equipment and then re-sell them. The dealers generally have no idea what's in them, they just get them from a supplier. Use some common sense.

https://www.heraldsun.com/news/state/south-carolina/article220778670.html

http://torontovibe.com/party-safe/cocaine-2/
4.8 % of cocaine in Canada has Fentanyl in it, according to recent reports by Canada's top drug testing labs, due to cross-contamination.

But yeah, totally just a handful of raves.

Coke + Fentanyl is the newer, deadlier speedball before it was combining cocaine with heroin or morphine that killed a lot of celebrities over the last 40 years.

There's a much smaller margin of error with the Fentanyl mix because of how much more potent it is than morphine and heroin. It's also getting laced with heroin and other opiates making the problems of overdoses worse.

This is a lie, no one is speedballing fentanyl and coke unless its by accident because they dont realise their heroin or morphine has been contaminated. Fentanyl doesn't provide the euphoria that morphine and heroin do.
