The Drug Enforcement Administration revealed Tuesday it seized more than 379 million deadly doses of fentanyl in 2022 — more than enough to kill every single American.

According to a statement from the federal agency, DEA agents confiscated more than 50.6 million fentanyl-laced, fake prescription pills, which is more than double compared to last year, and over 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder since January.

The highly addictive synthetic opioid is 50 times stronger than heroin. Just 2 milligrams of fentanyl — an amount that fits on the tip of a pencil — is considered a potentially deadly dose. “These seizures — enough deadly doses of fentanyl to kill every American — reflect DEA’s unwavering commitment to protect Americans and save lives, by tenaciously pursuing those responsible for the trafficking of fentanyl across the United States,” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.

DEA seized enough fentanyl doses to kill every American in 2022

Well thank goodness 2022 is almost over! At least the Americans in 2023 will be OK...

Oh, wait...

[Leaning Right]

Hey, federal government. Ignore this fentanyl surge. Instead concentrate on forcing everyone to use the correct pronouns when talking to a transsexual.

I used to say that Putin and Xi are laughing at us. But Putin has shown himself to be quite the idiot. So I guess that now only China gets to laugh.

I just don’t understand how all these drugs are getting into the country.

[Craftmore]

Is it just me? Or does the DEA claim every single bust has enough to kill everyone in the USA? Since they only find a small percentage of the total that arrives each year,either we have a much higher tolerance or somebodys lying.Im betting compared to what the tweakers use in our small town,its actually only enough for a weekend party!

[Sarcazmo]

If its enough to kill everyone, there are some problems here.

1. This is just what was seized. How much did they miss?
2. Say only 1% of the population uses Fentanyl.

It seems to me like more of this stuff is coming in than can possibly safely be used. A LOT more.

So, either the media is lying about its toxicity, or 1000X as much that can safely be used is flowing in.

So what gives?

Hunter needs a good coke fix........laced with a little of fentanyl the cartels paying him brought across the river

It’s human systemic insecticide. Our government wants it to cull when they desire to.

Give it to the Homeless, give them their last hoorah, it’s what they wany anyway...

Of course, Biden/Pelosi/Schumer have left the border wide open and Cacklin’ Kamala blames REPUBLICANS for not agreeing to massive migration.

Criminals all.

[Signalman]

But, don’t worry. According to Biden’s press secretary (and others) “The Border is Secure”.

[Yo-Yo]

I just don’t understand how all these drugs are getting into the country.

It is a mystery...

I’m sure some just passes thru the US on its way to other countries junkies....................

To answer both of you, illegal Fentanyl used to expensive, now it's cheap, because there is so much of it. t's so cheap, it's be added to other drugs because it's cheaper. It can be added to pot, heroin, meth, whatever you can think if.

Also, you forget there are 365 days a year. People who take Fentanyl are taking it frequently. It's not like they take a fatal dose every day, it's spread out. (Although there are a lot of fatal doses. The number of people dying from overdosing spiked radically in 2020, went up in 2021, and probably will be higher than that for 2022)

Also, it's my understanding Fentanyl, as an opioid, builds up a tolerance in abusers. Meaning, a fatal dose in someone who has never taken Fentanyl will be smaller than that of a long term user.

[Boogieman]

Well, they can just transfer all that to the IRS so the IRS won’t need to buy so much ammo for their new enforcement agents. Just throw some fentanyl at any problematic taxpayers.

See, the border is secure. I’m absolutely positive that they got all the fentanyl and other illegal drugs that crossed the border. I am so proud of our government and in particular Republicans for funding our border security in the wonderful $1.7 Trillion omnibus bill. We are safer today and the world is at peace.

[humblegunner]

So if this Fentanyl is killing everyone who touches it,
how is there any repeat customers? It's Fentanyl Madness!

Why lie?

[M Kehoe]

Damn, both the Chicoms and cartels are working overtime.

Where did anyone say it was killing everyone who touched it? Nobody has ever said that. But people may disagree with you that Fentanyl and the vaccine are harmless.
