🚨🇺🇸 AMERICAN FENTANYL DEATHS COLLAPSE AFTER YEARS OF EXPLOSION

After more than a decade of nonstop increases, monthly fentanyl deaths are now plunging.

At the peak, over 6,000 Americans were dying every month.

Now the number has dropped to around 2,700.

That didn’t happen by accident.

Border enforcement tightened.

Drug seizures surged.

Pressure on cartels increased.

Trump warned this would happen years ago.

The data is clear.

Thank you President Trump. Just keep bombing them drug cartel fast boats.

[BipolarBob]

Trumps fault it dropped.

[PGR88]

I was wondering if / when we would see some statistics on drug seizures, drug shipment arrests, or OD deaths - to give us clear evidence about the effect Trump’s attacks on drug boats and on border security are having.

This is a very clear sign its WORKING AS INTENDED.

CCP General Secretary Xi is deeply saddened.

I don’t see a source for this accept an X account that links to an X account that doesn’t have this story (AFAICS). The chart they provide is also unsourced. What is the source of their claim?

[Mr. Blond]

Cocaine ODs are down 30%, now that it’s pure...MAGA!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But I thought it was all the fault of the people who are doing drugs.

The poor little manufactures and smugglers and dealers were just filling a needed market niche.

You mean when the market is not flooded people stop?

What a concept!

That just can not be right.

NYT analysis of preliminary CDC data.

Can anyone find a source? Apparently this chart was created by “#EndWokeness” but I can’t find a source from them. My guess is its legitimate, but I can’t very well promote this without demonstrating its truthfulness.

[dangus]

I can’t find it within the NYT.

Grok:

For 2025, provisional data through August shows total overdose deaths at ~73,000 for the 12-month period ending then, down ~21% from the ~92,000 in the prior 12-month period (ending August 2024). This suggests the decline slowed slightly compared to 2024’s pace but remained significant.

Synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl) continue to drive most overdose deaths, accounting for ~73,000 in 2023.9e8b03 While specific fentanyl-only figures for 2025 are provisional and not fully broken out in monthly detail, the overall opioid decline implies a similar proportional drop for fentanyl, potentially to around 48,000-50,000 annually by late 2025 estimates.

Over the counter narcan might have something to do with it.

[VeniVidiVici]

Democrats are saddened

[Jarvis Law 2.0]

👍 glad I read all the comments to see if anyone would mention the widespread deployment of narcan.

[SuperLuminal]

An impeachable offense, within the guiding principles of the American Communist Party (ACP)...

No wonder we see hundreds of thousands of ACP members both in Congress and on the streets of America violently disrupting ICE operations...

[MacNaughton]

Over the counter narcan might have something to do with it.

👍 glad I read all the comments to see if anyone would mention the widespread deployment of narcan.

Here in Jefferson County (Birmingham, AL), the JCHealthDepartment has placed free nalaxone/Narcan dispensaries in the JC public library branches.

Thank you.

Thanks to President Trump and his teams of patriots in law enforcement lots of monsters are being sent home...

CDC.GOV Wonder provides preliminary birth and death data from 2018 to last week.

UCD - Drug/Alcohol Induced Causes: Drug-induced causes
2024 83,300
2025 41,572

[dangus]

It looks like most of the data is incomplete after June. Monthly cases drop from 6,000 (A full month?) to 3,000 (a partials month?) to a few hundred (random scattered reports?)
