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

Why is this not a public health emergency situation?

What am I missing?

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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
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
