Priscilla Presley’s son, Navarone Garcia, spent $3K a month on fentanyl before mom saved him: ‘Unbearable’
told the Sun that he first tried heroin at 17 — and by 29 was addicted to fentanyl, which is 50 times stronger.“I don’t know how this happened but all the heroin in the United States started to contain fentanyl.
So I didn’t even realize I was doing fentanyl,” said the rocker, whose half-sister, Lisa Marie Presley, died a year ago after a long battle with substance abuse.“So suddenly I was addicted to fentanyl.”Unlike heroin, where users go hours between hits, “with fentanyl you have to do it every 45 minutes or else you start to get sick,” said Garcia.“So it got to a point where it was very expensive.“I was spending $3,000 a month on fentanyl.
It was unbearable,” he said. “I don’t recommend it to anyone because it’s very lethal. If you don’t have any tolerance you die the first time you do it.
So it’s a scary, scary thing.”Garcia believes the synthetic opioid would have killed him if it weren’t for his mom — who had been fed various drugs by Elvis Presley during their marriage but managed to avoid addiction.“I went to my mum’s house for about three weeks to a month recovering from my problem,” said Garcia, whose father, Brazilian movie producer Marco Garibaldi, was with Priscilla for 21 years.“I was indisposed.
