In this interview, Freeway Ricky Ross, a former kingpin, shared his thoughts on the current d**g landscape, specifically focusing on the devastating impact of fentanyl. Ross highlighted the stark contrast between his era and today’s dealers, asserting that current fentanyl dealers lack respect for their clientele. "When I sell cocaine, I care about my customers... They were my friends," Ross explained, emphasizing the mutual dependency and respect that once existed between dealers and users. Vlad, the interviewer, reflected on the tragic loss of celebrities like Mac Miller, Aaron Carter, and Michael K. Williams to fentanyl overdoses, attributing it partly to the indifference of modern dealers who mix fentanyl with other d**gs. Ross contrasted this with his experiences, insisting that most of today’s problems, including the widespread homelessness observed in areas like Skid Row, are driven by d**g addiction. He acknowledged that while mental illness and rule avoidance play roles in homelessness, d**gs remain the predominant factor.
