Most heroin comes from Mexico, fentanyl is being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. from China.
Oh, by the way, could you guess who is the largest holder of opium stockpiles in the world? Wanna take a guess where it is stored?

Interesting. Opiates are a store of value. The Feds have driven up the price of opiates through their policies.
“But Congress won’t let the department sell the drugs.”
That seems like disinfo. The treasury has every reason to do something like this to stabilize the dollar. They’re selling through some agency like DEA.
“Since 1955 the drugs have been part of the nation’s strategic reserves and were intended to tide the country over if foreign opium supplies were cut off in an emergency.”
That’s a laugher. Since when did the Feds give a rip about the peasantry. They won’t even harden the electrical grid. Anyways, the Feds are saying that opiates are bad, so why would need them in an emergency.
