Maybe If We Didn't Export A Billion Dollars Worth Of Fentanyl To Mexico So It Can Be Re-Imported To

Our streets by the drug cartels we would not have a Vietnam sized death toll every year.

Corporate profits show up in our graveyards.

1. Big Pharma is your friendly neighborhood drug dealer wrapped in a suit and a tie.

It’s only wrong if you have below a certain amount of money. Buy Congress, and you can deal all the drugs you want!

2. This is what is killing our kids, brothers, sisters, actors, and mommies, and daddies.

Fentanyl

Profits before everything.

3. Now you can buy it from China online, have it mailed to you, and tomorrow you can be a drug dealer

My cousin is a postal inspector out west and she tells me this is the new drug war.

I won't post how they do it but anyone can turn $10,000 into $50,000- $60,000 in less than a week.

This is the new drug war we are losing. Whatever we do with the Mexican border or medicinal cannabis shops cannot touch this new wave. I've heard estimates of how much of this fentanyl synthetic that is flowing here daily from China.

4. I Saw A TV News Show About It Too - China

Hunt them down.

5. Gee, why is the "white drug" user considered a victim?

I am sympathetic to anyone who has an addiction problem, but we're still locking up people who use heroin and crack. But those who use opioids suddenly are considered victims of a disease who need treatment.

None of them should be going to prison, but I do wonder why suddenly, with this one class of drugs, the media and government act like the opioid users are victims, while the other drug users (including users of marijuana, which isn't dangerous) are considered criminals.

6. You answered your own question...

"white" drug. Heroin was the drug of choice for the slum dwellers in the urban areas for 50 years. Now that a drug is effecting whites in the suburbs it is suddenly a different tune for the American hypocrites and racists.

7. Heroin is an opioid, though, and whenever opiods have been e popular drug (it swings from opiates...

...And downers to stimulants, historical trend wise), people die more often from overdoses. So the alarms ring.

Imo abuse and addiction rates are skyrocketing because Americas general standard of living is going to hell. We are also encouraged to mask problems with painkillers because God forbid we miss work and/or cause our insurance to pay for physical therapy, etc.

And fuck fent, it killed Prince. Scrip or chinese mail order that shit is obviously bad.

We're supposedly xraying all cargo and can't find fucktons of white powder? Sure.
