Could we stand a world with fewer addicts? Highway traffic and retail jobs wouldn’t be as exciting.

I totally agree with you. They are terrorists and we should go after them the same way we went after the Taliban or any other terrorists that breached our borders or killed our citizens.

That’s a good hangup to have!

Fentanyl is China waging war on the USA by other means. End trade with China and we end the fentanyl deaths.

It’s that simple.

“Other than alcohol and caffeine, I have never been able to try any other intoxicant, not even marijuana or tobacco.”

No tobacco will LENGTHEN your life.

No Marijuana could’ve SAVED your life.

BTW: Same here on both.

All street opioids contain synthetic analogues of fentanyl now. I actually wrote a paper about how this would happen years ago. Analogues like carfentanyl and produce can produce a superior high due to the significantly higher μ affinity compared to traditional opioids along without the traditional negative effects caused kor affinity combined with long duration caused by the increased half-life.

Most importantly analogues like carfentanyl are a distributors dream. Unlike heroin it can be easily created in a lab by any semi competent chemistry major with precursors that are easy to find and manufacture. The ability to tweak the synthesis is endless thanks to the almost unlimited amount of fentanyl analogues meaning if there are crack downs on the precursors for carfentanyl just switch to Butyrfentanyl or another analogue. The endless analogues also makes testing and detection a massive chore.

And best of all the extreme potency means that if you smuggle a kilo of pure carfentanyl then cut it you get 100,000,000 doses to sell where if you smuggle a kilo of heroin you would only get 5000-10000 doses depending on quality.

it is a absolute no brainer business decision for a dealer.

That will never happen. Especially now that, Russia and China would jump at the chance to arm them and then you would end up with an Afghanistan on the US border with a better armed taliban.

Look how it is going for Russia. Tanks and helicopters are totally obsolete.

I saw a warning yesterday from a Police Chief, telling people not to pick up folded money they find on the street. Many have died from fentanyl inside the folded-up bills.

By anyone with 4 year chemistry degree and access to the internet.

It’s not hard at all.

Alcohol and tobacco are just as destructive as any illegal drug.

Fentanyl needs moisture to work transdermally. Dry powder has no chance of causing an OD unless you inhale it or lick it.

Don’t lick dollars off the floor and you will be fine.
