Anyone who takes even a cursory look at the news – regardless the source – has to be aware of fentanyl – the latest of the killer drugs assaulting our society. It wasn't too long ago that virtually no one had ever heard of it. Now, it seems to be everywhere, and from what we are told, it is a killer of staggering proportions.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is said to be 50 times more potent than heroin. While the drug is found in all states, California is particularly hard hit, and the source, it appears, is movement of the drug across the border from Mexico, with Interstate 5 being a main trafficking route.
Authorities believe the original source of the drug is China, and there seems to be no limit to the quantity that ends up in the U.S. There is no information available as to whether our government has had any contact with China about this movement of the drug.
In a recent report from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, law enforcement, just in California this year, seized 28,765 pounds of the drug. According to Newsom, that's enough to kill the entire of population of North America, TWICE!

"People in government are making money"
yes....exactly....
the only advice I would give is to NOT ever indulge in drugs of any kind, including weed....
don't start and don't indulge....
starve the beast.....
why would people give control of their lives over to evil people....be it drugs, alcohol or porn.....

Exactly.
I’m only concerned that maybe it is deliberately being disguised to poison generally unsuspecting people.
Otherwise, it’s another druggie problem.

It is not.
I found it out by seeing them around our area suddenly, naively thinking how whimsical.
But we already have some drug problems, and being right next to Baltimore doesn’t help.

But whose fault?
Being amoral and rudderless and hedonistic, seeking “fun” and “escape”?
Or being an innocent bystander who gets drugged by spiked ingestibles?
The latter would be new.
The former is the same old thing as all the last 50 years since the hippies succeeded in making everythign hedonistic.

The Gov’t and businesses do not force you to take fentanyl,
but they DID FORCE you to get a clot shot.
Which has killed more unwilling?
You decide.

Just powerful. Although the rotational effect would help. If 2 shoes share tied long strings it’s not too hard to get that going and the lines are very long so plenty room for error up there.

Our neighbors on our street both 2 had accidental fentanyl poisoning. The one neighbor had a 20-something son who was living at home. The mom found a folded up piece of tin foil under the dresser. Inside was barely a trace of powder. Being children of the 70's she touched it to her tongue to see what it was? 25 minutes later her breathing stopped after she sat down feeling tired. Fortunately she was visiting another neighbor at the time her breathing stopped. The ambulance crew did CPR and bag ventilated her to the hospital. The next neighbor is a clerk at city hall. She picked up a baggie off the floor of the elevator and put it in the trash. She was on her way to lunch with coworkers. In the middle of lunch she felt dizzy and nauseous. She then collaped and the medics hit her with narcan to revive her. She didn't wash her hands after picking up the bag in the elevator and then eating a sandwich with her hands.
Apparently a first time exposure to fentanyl can kill you. Even trace amounts.
