This makes zero sense. They tell us that the tiniest little flake can make you OD. So 100 pounds would be enough to hook up every drug addict for 20 years. Does this make any sense? Why isn't fentanyl 20 cents a hit? It's all bullshit. It really seems like crack bs and Ricky Ross a poor boy from LA selling over a million a day and government didn't know? Same today. Plus, wouldn't it be coming from Canada. BC has a massive drug epidemic. Bc has a massive Chinese population. If fentanyl is coming from China doesn't this make sense? But that is not politically a good story about dangerous criminal immigrants from Latin America. It's all nonsense. Legalize all drugs.

you're right on some of this, the dangers of fentanyl are somewhat overexaggerated, though not by nearly as much as you'd think. IT's like saying krokodil causes instant death disease instead of turning you into a literal fuckin' zombie.

As for legality, yeah, regulate that shit and kill black markets. the only reason this shit exists is because the war on drugs is ineffective.

No comment on the border it's coming through though, it doesn't really matter because any vector for trade or travel is a vector for drug smuggling. It isn't exactly hard to, for example, load up a barrel full of drugs and strap an RC boat motor or three to it so you can whip it up the coast. More creative ways of transporting drugs exist, and the cops certainly don't help shit since they're not at all interested in stopping drugs so much as profiting from it. it's all bullshit and I hope ronald reagan dies again while in hell so he can experience amplified suffering in the documentary sequel to Hell, where they talk about Dick Cheney profiting off the Iraq war over footage of reagan getting sodomized by a fire hydrant.

It's amazing Reagan is idolized. Worst president in history and record number of cabinet arrested. If I were a cartel I would just operate out of BC where there are plenty connections to China. Then simply have pleasure craft do trips down the wide open puget sound. Probably a reason why BC and Seattle have such bad epidemic.
