They also conveniently don't mention the fact that the vast majority of the fentanyl that is smuggled across the border is brought in through legal points of entry by US citizens.

A dude who was in one of the photos for the Charlotesville "Unite the Right" rally years ago recently committed suicide just before he was set to stand trial for smuggling lots of fentanyl across the border.

I don't understand the anount of fentynal they claim is moving around with the amount of deaths. A know a lot of people die off it, but the numbers they give always makes it seem like a large chunk of people doing street drugs should be dropping left and right.

So, you're implying the people who do get it, OD on an amount that would make them OD 100+ times over? Still, you'd think you'd hear about whole lower class cities being devastated. Most people in my city have some type of addiction.

I have no clue why dealers would even use Fentanyl. Just use caffiene, baking soda, chalk, or any of the other dumb shit used to cut drugs with. Don't kill your customers lol

That's another thing that makes no sense. How ignorant could you be to all the reports at this point

I mean, people who buy hard drugs most of the time aren't getting test kits and all that shit. They just wanna get high.

Which would bring it back to my first point. Why aren't they dropping like flies?

Every time you ask yourself "How do people keep falling for the GOPs bullshit?", just remember that the only way they can continue to get votes is by keeping their constituents stupid

no. i mean that when there is a bust and the cops say stuff like "the amount of fentanyl could have killed a million people" that just means there was 1,000,000 times the fatal dose.

But they don't stop every shipment every time. It's known it's gotten into our country a lot already.

for dealers that sell opiates, the fentanyl makes their product more potent. as for non-opiates like cocaine that contain fent, my understanding is that most of that is from cross contamination from dealers re-using mixing equipment.

as for the "dont kill your customers", the people mixing fent into their shit aren't the ones on the corner selling to addicts. those people are usually wholesellers and there will never, ever be a drought of addicts.
