Yes, some unnamed vague documentary disputes all the facts that we previously had documented. The videos of us protecting the fields were all produced by the same people who did the fake moon landings.

How does government stop the import of deadly opioids like fentanyl from China when one can order illegal drugs easily with a simple click on the WWW? Not sure what the solution is when addicts are choosing to use fentanyl. Even a few grains too much of this powerful drug can kill them instantly.

Give it up dude. It was a ruse. The CIA was selling it for money to fund their proxy wars. This is well known and has been going on for decades.

You are wrong. You might want to research online. Many factors contributed to the increase use of opioid but legalization had little to do with it.

You just can't make up ideas in your head and sell them as fact. We have ways to prove your wrong.

Since the new millennium, prescription painkillers, such as OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet, have caused hundreds of thousands of drug overdoses. Illicit use of heroin and fentanyl has surged and devastated communities across the country.

Doctors began prescribing drugs containing opiates at enormous rates in the late 1990s. After government crackdowns made the drugs harder to get, people addicted to the pills turned to a cheaper and more accessible alternative on the street. As a result, the number of people addicted to and overdosing from heroin increased significantly.

Well -- it seems most of the fetanyl now comes in from China via Mexico. How do we stop that? Will the wall help with that? I didn't think of that before.

Heroin is becoming popular amongst teens. This article is from 2013 and it is only getting worse.

Don't forget -- if a drug starts to become more popular -- it usually starts with the teens.

Heroin is growing as it is much cheaper to produce.

I appreciate the efforts of the federal govt. to fight the good fight on drugs but haven't we been here before and the cost never justifies the results.
