New Opioids, Ten Times Stronger Than Fentanyl, Now Linked To Overdose Surge
https://legalinsurrection.com/ ^ | September 18, 2022 | Leslie Eastman

Drug enforcement officials are now warning about a new group of opioids, ten times stronger than fentanyl, which has been linked to a recent surge in overdoses.

“Laboratory test results indicate that the potency of certain nitazene analogs [e.g., isotonitazene, protonitazene, and etonitazene] greatly exceeds that of fentanyl, whereas the potency of the analog metonitazene is similar to fentanyl,” explained a team of researchers from the Tennessee Department of Health.

Deaths linked to drugs are on the rise. In their report issued Friday, Jessica Korona-Bailey and colleagues said that “four times as many nitazene-involved overdoses were identified in Tennessee in 2021 than in 2020, and this number could be underestimated because of low testing frequency.”

My biggest concern about these new drugs is that you could be totally anti-drug and not tempted to try, but because you touched a doorknob, you are now an addict.

Manufactured in China. They are deliberately murdering our
younger generation, to undermine our military ahead of the inevitable war in 2047 when they seize Taiwan. China is patient and takes a longer view.

2047? I don't think China is THAT patient.

I've seen refrigerator mold grow faster than that.

2047?

They ain’t waiting that long my friend.

We are currently being bombed with an all-out blitz destruction of our country on pretty much every front except direct military confrontation.

It’s like our military is the Maginot Line and the chinks are the Germans who just walked in around it.

and the US government is in on it.

Every fentanyl death should be called a Joe-verdose.

Ten times stronger than fentanyl?

I am trying to understand the business plan here.

Milligrams of fentanyl can kill a new user.

Now, 10% of a previously fatal dose can kill you?

All the potential customers are literally risking death the first time they try the product.

because you touched a doorknob, you are now an addict.

Except you might not know what you were addicted to.

You'll know if you find yourself uncontrollably drawn to the doorknob section at Home Depot.

Door knobs.
Hand rails.
Any public thing that everybody touches.

We will all have to wear gloves 24/7

I never touch doorknobs. I just wait for someone to open the door coming through from the other side. I once waited for three days at a door until I was informed that it was a closet.
