You know, it strikes me that elephant tranquilizer should be harder to acquire than heroin... what, does this dealer work at the zoo?!?
“One Ohio coroner told users they were “literally gambling” with their lives.”
Captain Obvious strikes again!
Borders, borders, borders. I think that’s the solution to the “opioid crisis”. Not a lot of big poppy fields in the CONUS. I will wager also that the synthetic fentnyls are not being made in US clandestine laboratories.
Borders.

>Heroin cut with elephant tranquilizer may have caused 60 overdoses
No, idiots shooting crap from the streets into their veins caused it.
Drug dealers are as stupid as teachers, who support abortion and homosexuality, which produces no students, drug dealers, like oncologist, sell drugs that kill their customers.
I have done some reading on the Prohibition Era and the conditions that led to the 18th Amendment (prohibition of intoxicating beverages in America).
Despite all the best intentions of the laws, consumption of alcohol not only did not decrease but it increased. Further, the quality of the alcoholic beverages declined sharply. People were making moonshine out of backwoods stills or mixing gin in their bathtubs. Organized crime got involved and a huge black market was developed to circumvent the laws in place. Anybody that wanted liquor during Prohibition could get it just like anybody can get illegal drugs today.
Prohibition was so unsuccessful that we repealed it with the 21st Amendment just over 10 years later.
The quality of that Prohibition-Era liquor could be quite poor. People would literally go blind (or worse) from drinking "bathtub gin" and at the time, we had people saying that victims of this bad liquor deserved whatever happened to them. Pretty much the same things we are hearing today about people that OD on "homemade" narcotics.
Not sure what the solution is. I'm not in favor of making drugs like cocaine and heroin illegal and selling it over the counter like we do with beer, wine and spirits today. So what is the solution then?
(Timmy) I, I’m gonna take this aspirin, Mr. Wizard.
(Mr. Wizard) That’s not an aspirin, Timmy.
(Timmy) Sure looks like an aspirin!
(Mr. Wizard) But it’s not, Timmy!
(Timmy) It tastes like an aspirin.
(Mr. Wizard) Dangerous drugs, Timmy!
(Timmy) (muffled) I swallowed it.
(Mr. Wizard) Timmy! That pill was designed to stun buffaloes when mixed with buffalo food!
(Timmy [snide adult voice]:) Oh wow! Oh my god. ...
(Mr. Wizard) For God’s sake, sit down, Timmy!
(Timmy) I am sitting, Don.
(Mr. Wizard) Let this be a lesson to you Timmy, and to all of Timmy’s little friends out there. Never tamper with the awesome powers of science! Science is your future, Timmy... and the future... is in your hands.
(Timmy) And I hafta eat with those hands, Don!
Sounds perfectly safe to me.
Methinks this is sort of a solution, not a problem.
