U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Thursday Border Patrol agents and Customs officers have seized more than 2,700 pounds of fentanyl in only the first three months of fiscal year 2022 as the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border continues unabated.

The large seizure of the extremely dangerous drug, which only takes 2 milligrams to induce an overdose, in only three months means CBP is on pace to overtake the amount that was seized in fiscal year 2019, 2,804 pounds, and fiscal year 2020, 4,791 pounds.

Fiscal year 2021, which includes the year Joe Biden became president, CBP officers and agents confiscated a whopping 11,201 pounds of fentanyl. Goes without saying, but the seizure totals does not include the thousands of pounds that were successfully smuggled and distributed across the United States.

That's weird huh. Almost like there's no control of the southern border any longer. Is the stuff they're confiscating the GF signature series kind?

They give it all to Hunter for safe keeping.

[Still Thinking]

Damn. 500MM overdoses. Ouch

[proust]

I wonder how much is still getting through.

[Blue Highway]

Wondering if/when they will add fentanyl to the covid vaxxes, or covid test kits for maximum impact? Maybe in these “FREE” test kits sent across the country (4 per address)??? Hmmmm……

[Jaysin]

sorry for my lack of knowledge on “dope” but is Fentanyl actually Heroin or is it mixed with Heroin or is it something completely different that junkies are shooting?

What did you expect with an open border?

Thanks, Brandon.

It's a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Cops have been taken to emergency rooms because they accidentally touched it.

The Chicoms and Mexicans are working together to rid the USA of Democrats and welfare recipients. I guess I don’t see a problem with that.

[high info voter]

Anyone bringing that stuff across our border to murder people SHOULD BE EXECUTED ON THE SPOT!

[rktman]

Not heroin. After my surgery for a carotid clean out, reviewing the bill I see it was used in the process so like pharmaceutical cocaine, there are valid uses for it. Extremely small amounts. Mrs rktman had her gall bladder out and some was used there.

Probably the only Chinese product that works as advertised.

[SpaceBar]

Did a little back of the envelope math, and 2700 lbs of fentanyl is enough to kill about 613 million people, just to put things in perspective.

[rktman]

Probably intended for legal uses though right?

[ontap]

Why would anyone use this stuff....it's lethality is well known!!!
