Authorities in Southern California's Orange County last week seized roughly $1.25 million worth of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, a quantity large enough to create four million deadly doses,...They also found a semi-automatic handgun, heroin, methamphetamine and $71,000 in cash,...Between 2015 and 2018, damage from the drug cost at least $631 billion...

Soooooo what is the infatuation with pain meds? If folks want to deaden the pain, let them exercise their freedom. We spend too much time and resources being a nanny state.
Scourge, or self correcting problem?
Yah, I’m in a heartless mood tonight.
Did this batch of garbage originate in Mexico or China?
Government that is overly tolerant towards drug abuse is costing more than enough. But if dealers added teeny, tiny doses of fentanyl to batches of weed and increased it little by little over time, it would make that weed sell real good. Eventually, a few surprises here and there with greater doses...and no more problems from drug abuse at all.
And no complaints, now. Buyer beware. It’s the liberaltarian way. ;D
Millions of fatal doses might have solved their homeless problem. Just sayin’
The batch that perhaps ten years ago wound up killing all those addicts in Chicago and in some places in Michigan was sourced in Mexico -- real fentynyl, but bootleg. Reportedly the Chinese sources have taken over, the cargo containers that arrive here in huge quantites have convenient little hidey holes.
I’m the same way. If I were king, Narcan would be illegal. You overdose, you deal with it. It’s like falling off El Capitan or a 500-foot waterfall in a national park. You accepted the risk when you climbed up there.
It just continues to pour through the open border. No news flash.
Hmm, I smell ozone.
Friends of Newsome and Becerra?
Had to dig around to find the exact location of the bust, Orange County being a large area.
Santa Ana.
Figures.
Our enemies foreign and domestic are at work. We are at war and on may fronts. Time to wake up and smell the coffee while we still can
Illicit Synthetic Fenatayl is NOT a Pain Medication, it is a street drug junkies get HIGH ON. What s Manufactured by Pharma has strict controls built in. Street drugs don’t.
Take the Fentanyl and Distribute it with the Free Needles given out on Skid Row.
For some time I have been wondering why our Government is slamming the Drug Companies and the Doctors about pain meds. MOST of the overdoses are from street drugs coming over our border. But coming down on the professionals certainly has the support from the uninformed. And it seems that NEITHER PARTY wants to close our Southern Border.
I made no caveats for Fentanyl. My proposition is if people want to get blasted out of their minds, let them, as long as they are not driving or otherwise put someone’s life in danger. Freedom and rugged individualism.
