Gas Station
Opioids

Kratom extracts, 7‑OH, Tianeptine, and synthetic opioids are sold legally beside energy drinks — more potent than morphine, hidden in plain sight.

Unregulated opioids are reaching teens through gas stations & vape shops.

From “7‑Hydroxymitragynine” to “Tianeptine” (known as gas station heroin), these compounds cause severe addiction, respiratory depression, and death. No medical oversight, no warning labels — just colorful packaging and QR codes. Parents have no idea they exist.
