Chinese Fentanyl or Fentanyl precursors. Pills stamped out in Mexico. Both nations are poisoning Americans. Any stupid street drug like percosets can have Fentanyl in them these days. Kids died recently from consuming such percosets
Like it or not the crackdown on prescription pain medications, though they were abused, is directly correlated to the rise in fentanyl. If people are going to abuse drugs, it would be much better they abuse prescriptions filled by pharmacists for medications made by pharmaceutical companies following high FDA regulatory standards than these street drugs made in the barrels in the woods like the bootleggers of 100 years ago.
But alas it is too late. These fentanyl junkies are over the top. You could give them 10 percocets at a time their tolerance is so high they won’t even feel it (and they’d die from the acetaminophen overdose from those anyway). Methadone won’t even work on them. It’s a serious problem.
And yeah, of course, innocent kids who aren’t junkies but just being blissfully ignorant youths are getting murdered by smugglers and our government doesn’t give a crap. No wall. No serious enforcement.
I don’t think it’s a great idea to classify the cartels in Mexico as terrorists so we can do assassination style incursions... but the FBI should quit attacking school marms and abortion protestors and suit up for cartel raids right here in the USA. We need Elliot Ness style action.
