A new class of potentially deadly synthetic opioids is suddenly appearing around the globe, including in the US, and scientists are rushing to figure out how to detect it in the drug supply.

Within the last month, nitazenes were implicated in four overdose deaths in Manchester, England; they were detected in over 2,500 counterfeit oxycodone pills in Hamilton, Canada; and they were found for the first time in the Netherlands. The US Drug Enforcement Administration has warned about their appearance in Washington DC.

Collect it all along with the fentanyl, turn it into a powder, then drop it on Beijing and the cartels. Since they created it, it is theirs, time to give it back to them.

The Death Penalty should be instituted MANDITORY for smuggling these poisons into our country.

China, Saudi Arabia and most Muslim countries do it and nobody objects........except those that get caught.................

Drug abuse is a CHOICE. People CHOOSE to use drugs at the risk of their lives. The ensuing deaths remove undesirables and the very stupid from society, by their own doing.

I've long advocated the death penalty for ALL DRUG DEALERS, from street level to international kingpin. And a year or less from arrest to trial, conviction, appeal, sentencing and execution. NO DEALS!

Drug abuse is a choice, but a lot of people thought they were abusing a relatively mild opioid or other illegal drug, and got one of these super-potent synthetic opioids instead.

Such cases are drug poisonings, not overdoses.
