Doesn’t matter. Small drug labs in China are cranking out Fentanyl, and importantly many *analogs* (similar in action but not chemically identical) of Fentanyl. It is cheap as dirt to manufacture, and because only a tiny amount is used, it is remarkably easy to smuggle.
And now there is a new drug that is ridiculously more powerful than heroin. Some estimates are as much as 10,000x more powerful. It is literally an elephant tranquilizer, called Carfentanil (W18 or Wildnil). And mere micrograms (1/1,000,000 of a gram) of it are all that is needed, as with LSD.
Again, think micrograms, when you hear that Canadian customs just confiscated a container of it. A four kilogram (8.8 pound) container full. Just 1 microgram, or even less, is needed for a human, so this container had 1 billion doses.
So how does controlling the US pharma industry have anything to do with this at all?
The bottom line is that Fentanyl, taken intentionally or not (used to adulterate heroin), is so risky that it is suicidal. And NOBODY can stop it, or even slow it down.
A lot of Americans who use heroin are going to die. Many already are.

When I finally convinced my wife that those mice running up and down our wall weren’t real, she took the Fentanyl patch off her shoulder, those mice were gone within 24 hours.
(That wasn’t the only hallucination she had, plus paranoia.)
