🚨 Public Safety Advisory: Cychlorphine Detected in Kentucky 🚨

The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security warns that Cychlorphine, a highly potent synthetic drug approximately ten times stronger than fentanyl, has been detected in central Kentucky and is contributing to overdose deaths in neighboring regions, including eastern Tennessee.

This substance is frequently mixed with other illegal narcotics, placing users at extreme risk of unintentional exposure. Its presence is expected to expand to additional areas within the Commonwealth.

Advisory for First Responders, Healthcare Providers, and Law Enforcement Personnel:

* Exercise extreme caution when handling any unknown or illicit substances.

* Utilize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent accidental exposure.

* Treat all suspected Cychlorphine-related overdoses as medical emergencies.

* Immediately report any confirmed or suspected cases to local public safety authorities.

The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security urges the public to remain vigilant, avoid contact with unknown substances, and report suspicious activity to law enforcement.

CHRISTMAS DAY

PLEASE SHARE

We’ll start serving at 12:30
first come first serve,
as fast as we can go,

EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

It’s NOT practical to cook a full dinner for 1-3 people, or maybe you’re stuck working on Christmas , or maybe the thought of having to get through your day without seeing me is too much for you to bare, or for whatever reason you don’t have anywhere else to go you can come here.

There will not be any bbq, but we’ll have plenty of turkey & sides.
