Sitting on my couch watching YouTube about homesteading in Alaska. The guy who is renovating his house says casually that had he stayed drug addicted and homeless in San Francisco, he would be dead just like his sister and 40 of his friends. All victims of fentanyl poisoning.

Ouch!

I didn't know it was such a thing.

Illicit fentanyl, primarily manufactured in foreign clandestine labs and*smuggled into the United States through Mexico, is being distributed across the country and sold on the illegal drug market.* Fentanyl is being mixed in with other illicit drugs to increase the potency of the drug, sold as*powders and nasal sprays,*and increasingly pressed into pills made to look like legitimate prescription opioids.* Because there is no official oversight or quality control, these counterfeit pills often contain lethal doses of fentanyl, with none of the promised drug.
There is significant risk that illegal drugs have been intentionally contaminated with fentanyl.* Because of its potency and low cost, drug dealers have been*mixing fentanyl with other drugs*including heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine, increasing the likelihood of a fatal interaction.
Producing illicit fentanyl is not an exact science.* Two milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal depending on a person’s body size, tolerance and past usage.* DEA analysis has found counterfeit pills ranging from .02 to 5.1 milligrams (more than twice the lethal dose) of fentanyl per tablet.

That's the DEA talking.

Seems this is something we should be getting after?

The main stream media doesn't cover this because it doesn't fit their narative. It's been covered on Fox News all along. Over 100,000 deaths a year at lost count and no one in Washington seems to care.

It is tough to have sympathy for anyone doing these hard core drugs but with Fentanyl there is so much collateral damage. If cops arrest a dealer they risk being exposed to the deadly chemicals. They can't even have drug sniffing dogs checking for it because it could kill them. Now the Chinese, the drug dealers, the cartels are making the pills to look like candy.



Chuck Schumer had an interview the other day talking about the deadly effects of the drug and how the pills are now resembling popular candy with Halloween approaching. He never once mentioned closing the Border to stem the flow.



It is estimated that 175 people DIE of Fentanyl over doses everyday. That is one every 9 minutes. How is this not seen as a WAR that China were the junk comes from and the gangs that are pushing it are waging on the USA?



How can Biden not care? I wonder what he would do if Hunter got some cocaine that was laced with Fentanyl and he overdosed? Would we see some response from the WH then?
