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.

Because the drugs of choice are cut with Fentanyl by their dealers or the cartels to maximize the thrill and the profit. Can’t blame the Chinese for smuggling their drugs into the US? Why not?

I had written a post addressing the favor china is doing the U.S. y sending these drugs for the stupid to freely off themselves but was afraid it would not be well received.

My point is the dems may be panicking because they are losing more of the stupid vote, as if 60 million lost to abortion isnt enough, they are now worried about 40-50k a year to stupid drug use?

President Trump will probably get the blame. But what the hell? Someone other than the druggie has to be blamed.

This seems like a self licking ice cream cone. Maybe shortly the herd of IV drug users will be thinned out.

That is a good idea. And keep a needle rack full of needles beside it too. If you don’t have better sense....... Someone tells me something will kill me if I take it. I let it alone.

The commies will probably leave it alone. It is the Blacks and rich White kids who will smoke horse shit if they thought it would get them high that will take to it like a duck to water.

Would be very easy for a terrorist to get a chunk of this and toss it into a water supply of a city. I know they know this. We live in an evil world.

Different reasons. Some have depression and a low sense of self worth. Some just seeking a recreational thrill. Some just curious. But some are in real pain and their doctors are prohibited from prescribing effective medicines to those with chronic pain. The last group I sympathize, the others . . . meh.
