Yep, it all comes across the border and into the hands of anyone who will fork over $20.

Quoted: By now, everyone knows about the lethality of fentanyl. Even with this danger, a lot of people are still risking it to use, which then makes me think fentanyl must be amazing. View Quote This is way outside of my wheel house here, but when junkies end up with Fentanyl do they always know? I thought it was like a cheap additive to stretch/get more money out of product |

So you are telling me lax border enforcement, going soft on crime, and lax punishments for criminals perpetuates crime and death. Who would have known.

I support the idea that if you don't do drugs, you most likely won't come into contact with fentanyl.
What scares me is the incidental contact with fentanyl that kills innocent people. My niece is in law school at Ol' Miss. She went shopping over the break and saw a $20 bill on the ground, she picked it up and had a reaction almost immediately. Her heart started racing, she was light headed, and her vision blurred. Luckily her fiance called 911 and she was taken to ER. They told her drug residue on the money was the cause. Thankfully she didn't die. What is the purpose of spreading drugs around in this manner? |

Quoted: Man…maybe his son should not have done drugs o begin with. Maybe dad should have been around more. Perhaps it wasn’t the border, but his son’s life choices. Oh wait…it isn’t dad’s responsibility to dad here. Dead son grief. View Quote That’s such an ignorant statement. His son was a grown ass man that made bad decisions and it killed him. How in the fuck is it his dad’s fault? |

We have a serious border problem that needs to be fixed but it ain't gonna do shit regarding fentanyl.

People are dying from smoking a bit of weed that's getting overloaded with fentanyl. I don't know the circumstances in this case, but buying weed used to be pretty safe. Seems like it's all getting laced with deadly amounts of fentanyl now View Quote Then don't do street drugs. |

In the mid to late 00's, I would go out to Vegas twice a year. I was living full tilt the days I was there, to the point, you ever see that guy passed out on the floor of the airport by the gate waiting for his flight, home, that was me.
My wife and I talked about retiring out there at one point. I could not live there, and I know it. I would be 350lbs, a drunk and broke. I have not been there in ten years since I changed my ways. Crazy place to live if you have money and addiction problems. |

Saving people's lives only is relevant when it comes to gun laws. Fentanyl and illegals committing crimes don't fall under that umbrella.

No. It has not. 20 years ago when you purchased a prescription
pill illegally, it was a real pill made in a pharmacy. Now when people go to purchase a Percocet or a Vicodin or an Oxycontin pill they are actually getting a pill made in a cartel lab using fentanyl with little or no quality control. That is the biggest reason for all the recent Fentanyl overrdoses. That and people are using Meth or Cocaine only to have the drug dealers lace it with Fentanyl. That also was not a widespread occurrence in the past. I will take your word on the gay sex. I have no knowledge or interest in that subject. Quoted: I always imagined that when you take street drugs purchased from a questionable source, you may get sick, and/or die. Been like that for decades. Same goes for gay sex...... . View Quote |

Quoted: A lot of guys here have never done cocaine off a stripper's ass and it shows. View Quote @Pajamacannon As a doc, I would never do cocaine. It can cause cardiac arrhythmias. If you want to try a stimulant, pharmaceutical grade amphetamines are much safer and last longer. I have used them safely in elderly patients. |

I thought it was like a cheap additive to stretch/get more money out of product Short of having a lab to test it, no. One reason the cartels still grow opium is so they can have local access to an opiate (heroin). Fentanyl and its precursors come from China. But since Fentanyl is 50 times more potent, you can add a little to your heroin to increase potency, or simply smuggle Fentanyl and then cut it 1:50 with whatever diluent you want (lactose, etc). If you smuggle Carfentanyl, which is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, you can dilute it 1:5000 and end up with produce just as potent as straight heroin. The only way to stop this is direct action against China. |

How can this not be a dupe? This is literally yesterdays news!

Quoted: Fentanyl flows into this country everywhere. Ports, borders, air travel, etc.. We should be attacking the source of it, China. That's where most of the Fentanyl comes from. If China is not smuggling in pills, they're smuggling in the ingredients for the Mexican cartels to make their own batches. A lot of it is smuggled in through Canada. Guess what country has a lot of citizens living in Toronto, British Columbia/Vancouver, etc.. all along the border? China A majority of the US fentanyl problem all leads back to China. But no presidents want to bring that fact up because we have to kiss China's ass. View Quote This right here but blaming it all on Mexico is in vogue. |

It's pretty funny how different this thread is from the one two days ago where I got an account warning for pointing out that maybe when you overdose on drugs it's your own fault

Had an Uber driver last month drop me off at a Christmas party. White guy, late 40s; said he drove Uber to get out of the house. His wife had been out with friends and thought she was doing a bump of cocaine; it had fentanyl in it. She died.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. Apply the "it's your own fault" logic to our veterans with PTSD turning to substances to avoid killing themselves. |

Back in the mid 1990’s I had just gotten out of the Marines and my uncle told me he went to my dad’s house and found my step brother selling cocaine out of a bathroom. It was a big house with 5 bedrooms.
He said to me he walked past the line of roughly ten people and into the bathroom where he saw him cutting up cocaine. He then grabbed the bag of cocaine, dumped it in the toilet and flushed it. A couple days later my step brother’s face was beat up. I told the story to my dad and he wrote it off as no big deal as to not upset his second wife. During those few days he even (he later told me) stole Coy fish out of my dad’s backyard pond to sell to a fish store to try and pay the dealer back. Also he snorted the cocaine he was supposed to sell so much so that he had a hole through the septum in his nose. Dad didn’t care, because, appease the wife at all costs. Yeah my dad is a pussy. If this story were to happen today my stepbrother would probably have died and possibly my uncle just for touching the bag. Fuck jb, and the dnc. This was in California, not Alaska. |

Teach your son to not do drugs and maybe this will be avoided.

It would be one thing if he took a legal drug that was contaminated and died but he was a drug addict who rolled the dice and paid the ultimate price.
