Ingesting as little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl, equivalent to a few grains of table salt, can be lethal, according to the DEA.

Perhaps this stuff should be classed a WMD instead of a drug and manufacturers and smugglers of it treated like terrorists!?

The logistics of actually killing 56 million people with a contact agent is non-trivial.

We need the DEATH PENALTY for this type of thing.

The message simply isn’t getting across.

Yeah, I can believe that. Like I said, before I was puzzled; until I heard a couple of stories about the docs found dead; literally on their own “drips” at home from what they stole from patients.
Like my wife said; no one makes it past 6 months without being caught..She said its “high grade” and the “street stuff” while strong won’t cut what the addicted doc’s are used too that have been stealing it.

because of possible tampering

That was what she said across dinner tonight when discussing this thread. Less risk to just get rid of it; both for patients and the hospital.

I have no doubt China kinda likes a little payback for that opium thing that hit them a large handful of years back. Those fuqers have long memories. Plus, doesn’t hurt to have a good chunk of our population and familia support structure strung out while they advance their objective of dominance. They are not trading partners; they are enemies.
We are sending them the dollars needed to fund their military while they send us devastating drugs that kill our populace better than anything Afghanistan can export.

No wonder Nanny was taking her family to Afghanistan to vacay. Who tipped her off to the mass murder plans?

Is this the way they plan to get to the president? Have some yahoo with poison on his person wearing a MAGA hat shake hands with the POTUS? Is this why Chuckie is calling for intel persons to “stage an intervention”??????

Explain to me how this works. If it could kill that many people, assuming it is divided into equal doses, how is it even useful as a street drug? Even assuming the addicted spread out doses, how long would this delivery last? Was it the only delivery for the year, or are there dozens of such deliveries a day? Is there some giant stockpile of this stuff somewhere?

Like you, I think they are engaging in a bit of hyperbole

I get what you are saying but somebody, probably China, is dumping a weaponized version of this on the market hoping it gets into America

The media is into fear mongering and panic but there is an opioid epidemic and tens of thousands of people are dying from it every year.

You obviously know a lot about this, so what would your solution be?

Not putting you on the spot, just interested in your opinion.

“You obviously know a lot about this, so what would your solution be?”

I don’t know a lot about it. It’s just that demonization campaigns...eg tobacco, guns, lawn darts, legitimate drugs, the internal combustion engine, etc always raise red flags for me. Usually means money is somehow involved or even more nefarious motives.

Drug abuse is a CHOICE. Choose badly and you may die.
