OT: For you parents of teens and college kids

[Beretta.sixpack]

Bad news the last 48 hours in Oxford....5 Ole Miss students have died as of this morning from what was originally thought was fentanyl overdoses....my daughter is a student there and has shared some messages going around to the students with warnings....apparently it is a drug called cyclorphine which is a synthetic opiate

horrible news as they found another one this morning .....pass the word around....apparently making its way around college campuses

 

[thekimmer]

Not in the news. Seems like it would be if legit.

 

[RocketDawg]

Good grief. That's terrible. There has been a LOT of publicity about street drugs being laced with fentanyl, and other bad things. I hope the students are listening.

One of the more well-known cases recently is Hayden Panettiere. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/hayden-panettiere-cause-death-revealed

Why is this not a public health emergency situation?

What am I missing?

its legit....hasnt made it to the news yet....one kid found this morning ......all greek parties are cancelled until further notice...

 

[615dawg]

Oh no. Seeing confirmed reports of TWO male students dead. One upperclassman off campus and one freshman on campus.

 

[ronpolk]

Man that’s terrible. I feel like stuff being laced just was not prevalent when I was in college. Kids these days just need to assume everything is laced with fentanyl and stay away.

Its not even on the drug schedule yet, but I've seen it in national stories -

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

Not to be my advocate, but this seems like a simple fix. Do not take pills that you have no clue what they are, and the kids should be fine. Or to expand on the thinking do not take anything you are not prescribed to, and you should be fine.

So where did you see this or who told you?

Yup. You basically are limited to weed and alcohol these days if you don’t want to take an unreasonable risk. Or pills you get from the pharmacy. Too many counterfeit prescription pills to trust any pill you aren’t getting directly from the pharmacy yourself and pretty much any street drug but thc is at risk of being mixed with fentanyl to stretch supply.

No news has picked this up in the last 48 hours? Sounds fake.

 

[RocketDawg]

Hopefully it is fake, but kids (and adults) should always assume that a street pill contains something - fentanyl or something else. Better yet, just stay away from street drugs altogether. And prescribed drugs unless they're prescribed for you.

 

[8dog]

So where did you see this or who told you?

It’s running rampant in OM circles. I know an OM student who knew the identity of one of the kids that passed. I can’t comment on the total number.

News is just coming out this morning. It's everywhere on the boards. Chase Parham on TOS confirmed two deaths and lots of Ole Miss IFC events cancelled this week.

Post a link then.

Where did he confirm this? I don't see anything on Twitter

 

[woozman]

His info differs significantly…

 

[Dawgbite]

It’s all over Twitter but nothing from a news source, just random people. Type Ole Miss in the search blank and Ole Miss Drugs is the first thing that comes up.

This character was created to be made fun of, but he isnt wrong.


Interestingly, a Narcan dispensing machine in Oxford has been used over 800 times in less than 2 months.
It dispenses Narcan, fentanyl test strips, Narcan carry pouches, etc. So it isnt just 800 Narcan doses, to be clear.

Narcan vending machine nears 800 uses - The Oxford Eagle

A Narcan vending machine installed less than two months ago in downtown Oxford has already been used nearly 800 times, giving residents and visitors free access to overdose-reversal medication and […]

I'm getting the same thing from people in Oxford. No idea if true but I'm getting it from people at ground zero.

 

[JDuck17]

Must be something to it. IFC at State and Bama just sent that message out to all of the sororities and frats.

 

[SteeleMagnolia2]

I have a sister-in-law in school at Ole Miss and this is a message that was sent to students today.

It's pretty sad that our drug culture has come to this.

No mention of deaths, sounds more like a rumor.

There have definitely been deaths. How many seems to be unclear.

Notice the shot at Louisiana at the end. Maybe Tater and Landry the Clown can get into a pissing contest about who has the cleanest recreational drugs.

 

[mstateglfr]

So LSU rolled into Oxford, lost on the field, and left the drugs behind.
Is Kiffin responsible?** <--** sorta?

 

[RocketDawg]

Should be sent to all students. They party too.

 

[Darryl Steight]

Should be sent to all students. They party too.

The IFC is a fraternity/sorority organization, so that's their target audience. I'm assuming the school will send to all students once verified.

 

[FrontRangeDawg]

My son sent me the text that his buddy received from the IFC president at UM after I asked him about it. It's real, and it should be assumed to be on all campuses.

 

[L4Dawg]

I doubt even Ole Miss could keep this out of the news.

 

[bddawg]

It's legit.

 

[goindhoo]

That's wild that Frats cancelled activities cause Frats cant have any activities that dont involve............ drugs.

This aside, I think Googles AI search results may be the single worst source of information available.

Ole Miss puts out statement confirming 2 deaths

It absolutely sucks. Drugs are never ok but at least when millennials experimented we didn’t have to worry about dying. The war on opioids created a massive black market where almost all opioids & benzos are bootleg home pressed using fent. Any college kid getting a Xanax has to assume it’s fent, or whatever synthetic this was, in 2026
