Yahoo News! ^ | Tue, November 30, 2021

Forensic analysts have alerted the District of Columbia's Department of Forensic Sciences (DFS) that there is a new synthetic opioid circulating in the illicit drug supply in the city as it continues to grapple with a flood of fatal overdoses.

Scientists at the DFS found the synthetic drugs during a routine study of used syringes in September and October, The Washington Post reported. The opioids - called protonitazene and isotonitazene - were found to be several times more potent than fentanyl.

What they curiously and purposely omit is where this new opioid is coming from. Hmmm... I’d be willing to bet this is not being domestically created.

If they aren’t shot by police or “White Supremicists” Democrats don’t care.

This should not surprise anyone with the Biden administration welcoming drug cartels into our country. No rule of law. No border security. Elimination of ICE. The judicial system is a joke.

Hmmm, let me try to care. Nope. Not caring.

It’s mostly Democrats dying.

unfortunately I have lost a few friends and acquaintances over the years due to heroin and other drugs but the reality is — I dont really care. let these people kill themselves.

go on youtube and watch the videos of kensington, Philadelphia which is like zombie row of junkies. I simply dont care if they all fall dead on the street.

There’s essentially no point to being stronger than fentanyl.
It’s like the AC-130 Spectre shooting a person vs the A-10 Vulcan cannon. Either way, dead...

I expect, in a few years, that there will be some new opiod that is ten-thousand more powerful than fentanyl.

It will kill you if you even hear its name.

Kensington is a wonderful area for a family stroll...

I was in Philly near the Liberty Bell on Saturday night. (working)
There were blacks on dirt bikes and quads harassing people and almost caused numerous accidents. My place of birth should be nuked.

Fantastic news. Don’t forget to hit up Georgetown and the other places of “higher leerning” around town.

Way back, I heard an old man state “we oughta put a 55 gallon drum of the stuff on every street corner. the ones stupid enough to do it will stand right there beside that drum until they die so they will be easy to find.”

At the time I was appalled anyone would say that. But as I get older.....

most likely made in China like Fentanyl, shipped to Chinese cartels in Mexico, sold to Mexican cartels and easily distributed within the US.

Or it will kill you if you just look at it and everybody walks around with blindfolds.

Now that drum thing is funny. Kind of like the bucket of food mouse killer.
Set a bucket 1/4 full of grain and a ramp to the top.
Mouse walks up the ramp and jumps in, eats, his fill and dies.
