Damn, didn't know there was a drug stronger than Fentanyl.

What's next? Actual Green Kryptonite?

“Can moose and elephants afford that price?”

Not without robbing banks and such.

Maybe the units of drugs could be called Floyds. “He died because he consumed 1 Floyd of (whatever).”

Perfect for a terrorist attack. On a mg per mg basis, this stuff is 10 times as lethal as VX nerve agent. Aboot 5lbs per city, properly dispersed, would achidve LD 90% of the inhabitants. It would also render that real estate worthless, for decades, as there is no way to safely clean it.

He should be on the gitmo waterboard as this guy was/is an existential threat to this country.

China, which is the source of these WMD’s should be informed that there will be a nuclear response to any further finding, or the use of, these WMD’s. There will be no investigation, as the source is known, just a response.

synthetic opioids and opioids are 3/4 of all ODs: synthetic opioids 6,000/mo; +50% are 25-45. NYT reports 69,000 opioid ODs 2020. 2021 projected to be higher. Calif loses 17/day to ODs. (6200 cases/yr). To be cold, that’s 17 dispatched and coroner calls a day that don’t have to happen and that taxpayers pay for.

It is probably 46 pounds of a carfentanyl mixture. The feds bust you for the total weight including what you cut it with. Pure carfentanyl would require special equipment to handle, and your average dealer just won’t have it. A few stray micrograms and you are seriously dosed.

69,000 per year. They are saying 50 million. That is a huge difference.

I knew a convicted, time served, drug dealer. When the news said something about street value, he would say tell me the street an I will go back into business.

Believe it or not the state was paying him to go to college. What a deal.

That’s enough to kill 5/8ths of the idiots that voted for Biden. We need 30 million more doses.

......."Carfentanil is an analogue of the synthetic opioid fentanyl. It’s extremely potent and not intended for human use; instead, veterinarians use it to sedate large animals such as elephants and moose"....

...."street price for carfentanil: $250 per milligram"

A man and a woman were arrested in a massive drug bust that led to the seizure of enough of a powerful synthetic opioid to possibly kill more than 50 million people in southern California, authorities said.

Hmmm, the once-great state has about 39 million peeps, top to bottom.

Carfentanyl is nasty, deadly stuff, but it doesn't kill more peeps than can possibly be exposed.

C'mon NY Post editors, do some easy checking.

That said, the perps are lucky in one respect. I'm not on their jury.

Probably nothing.

I live in a city of 18,000. Our wastewater treatment plant treats about 1.4 million gallons/day.

1.4 million x 8.33lbs/gallon = 11,660,000lbs.

There are 453,600mg/lb

11.6 million lbs = 5.3 trillion milligrams.

46 lbs x 453,600 = 20,865,600 milligrams

20.8M mg/5.3T mg = 0.0000039%

It is interesting you would mention that we should keep this material out of the hands of antifa because they would dump it into the water supply, and therefore kill 100’s of thousands of people.

I find it hard to believe it could kill 50 million people in Southern California...
