Drug 100 times more potent than fentanyl found locally, Commonwealth’s Attorney says

Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid and 100 times more powerful than fentanyl. It is also deadly.

”I don’t want people to die. I mean everybody in Eastern Kentucky, and I would say in the United States, has been touched by drug addiction in some way,” said Perry County Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Blair.

Blair said was made aware of the drug in the county at a court proceeding late last week.

”One speck the size of one grain of salt can kill a grizzly bear they say,” he added. “It’s used as an animal tranquilizer for elephants and things like that.”

Recreational drugs like marijuana can be laced with Carfentanil. The drug can also be made into pressed pills.

”We had don’t do drugs, because if you do you could get addicted,” he said. “Now it’s don’t try drugs because you’ll die. Not just maybe you’ll die down the line, you’ll die,” Blair added. “It’s not something that is going to happen in time, it is something that is going to happen right then and there especially if you get fentanyl or Carfentanil.”

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reports the drug is 10,000 times more potent than morphine.

”I feel like that it’s incumbent upon me to pass along as much as I can to people to save lives,” he said. “To keep us from having to prosecute people.”

It is a weapon of mass destruction and our government is doing absolutely nothing to try to prevent it from coming in.

Russians pumped it in gas form to try to knock out the Chechen hostage takers inside a Moscow theater two decades ago. Ended up killing 170 people, including mostly hostages.

San Francisco person in tent: “Some reporting. I can’t find a dealer on Google Maps and the article doesn’t give a good GPS address. I want that stuff.”

In time for Christmas or not? Article doesn't say.

the multicolored gummies they distributed to little kids were in time for Halloween.

Article synopsis: Dubbed “rainbow fentanyl” in the media, this trend appears to be a new method used by drug cartels to sell highly addictive and potentially deadly fentanyl made to look like candy to children and young people. Aug 30, 2022

This stuff is deadly. That part is not hyperbole.

However, the cartels are making a lot of money on fentanyl and our leadership seems okay with the overdose rate given their inaction on the subject.

Pushing a drug that would not make them more money and kill more of their customer base leading to increased government reaction would not be a good business model.

Keep that border open. The dealers and pushers aren’t going to be able to get it otherwise.

Drug addicts should suck on the barrel of a large caliber pistol... It would save tons of money.

there’s a lot of innocent kids that get sucked in along the way, thru peer pressure plus depressing environments (which makes people not care about themselves)

“you haven’t lived until you tried this!”

or

“what, are you afraid to get high” etc.

too many innocents dying ... we just snuck beers and smoked joints and thought that was rebelious

Why not use this stuff for executing criminals?

Then there wouldn’t be the problem of pharmaceutical manufacturers not wanting to release their products to states.

Just googled “Carfentanil” and found that it's used to tranquilize elephants.

From your link....China has an arrangement with the post office!?? I can’t be reading that right.

That’s gonna tick off the Mexican drug cartels having to compete with the USPS.

Excellent question. Live by the drug, die by the drug...
