Noah King didn’t notice the demise of some friends even though he was sitting next to them – he was too high. Now the 24-year-old is waiting for his own death.
Another day. Maybe the last one. That’s what he thinks. Noah King, 24, from Troy Hill, a working-class neighborhood in the industrial city of Pittsburgh. “I’m a realist. I’m not afraid of death. Rather, I’m afraid of suffering forever.”
Three of his friends are already there Tranq Dope died. The drug kills 1,500 Americans every week. The number of teenagers killed tripled between 2019 and 2021.
Noah’s friends were in their early twenties. They died on the sidewalks of Kensington. In front of his nose. From an overdose. A few milligrams of Tranq dope. A painful death.
