He spent four days in a coma before he died. </p> </p> <p>However, <a href=https://www.changningkrmassage.online/>창녕출장만남</a> it wasn’t until she got his death certificate that she saw heroin and something she had never heard of listed as U-47700. </p> </p> <p>“What is this? Is this bath salts?” she said she wondered. </p> </p> <p>“(The drug) is anywhere between 7 to 8 times more potent than morphine is,” said Jean Cleary, PharmD., the director at the Southeast Texas Poison Center. </p> </p> <p>At the poison center, they know at least three people died from the same drug last year. It’s called “Pink” on the street. </p> </p> <p>A pharmaceutical company developed the drug in the 1970’s to treat severe pain, but problems with side effects kept it off the market. </p> </p> <p>However, there is plenty of it for sale online. </p> </p> <p>“Most of it comes from China,” said Cleary. </p> </p> <p>“There’s been seven <a href=overdoses that I know of,” said Elliott.

This mom knows her son was no stranger to the law. He was arrested in 2013 twice, once for a fight outside Conroe High School and a second time for marijuana. 

Now, she is turning to Facebook, starting a support group called “MAH – Mothers Against Heroin” for other moms, hoping to help before it’s too late.

“If it can just save one person, just one, and save one mother from the pain that I feel, it’s worth it,” said Elliott.
