Sheriff: Cocaine and Meth Use Surges Along With Synthetic Fentanyl, Aided by Border Crisis

Police tracking drugs in our area are sounding the alarm with cocaine and meth making a comeback. Metro Detroit law enforcement is warning of an uptick in meth and cocaine use across the area.

"The danger of this is significant to everybody," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. "Basically the cost of cocaine, the cost of meth, all of that has gone down to about a third of what it was two years ago." Bouchard says it is a supply and demand issue, combined with the already troubling amounts of fentanyl coming into the states. He says it is a reason politicians need to fix the immigration system.

"What we have now is allowing all sorts of things to come across the border really unchecked that affect everyone in this country," he said. "Whether it happens to be the high-end burglary rings that have been hammering this region, or the vastly increased amount of drugs that are now in this region."

“destroying Americans”

It’s starts in early childhood.

“Honey, what do you want to eat?”

Follow your wants - ruination.

Follow your needs - satisfaction.

All kids want fentanyl. But None of them need it.

Corrupt, debauched values pimped by a corrupt, evil MSM and popular culture.
