The chief medical officer for Customs and Border Protection pressured his staff to order fentanyl lollipops for him to take to the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in September, according to a whistleblower report sent to Congress on Friday.

The whistleblowers said Dr. Alexander Eastman’s staff raised questions about why he would need to order fentanyl lollipops to take with him, and he answered that it was part of his duties to make sure that any injured CBP operators were cared for, making the argument that the lollipops would be necessary for pain management should an emergency occur.

“Eastman spent copious hours of his and Office of the Chief Medical Officer staff time directing the OCMO staff to urgently help him procure fentanyl lollipops, a Schedule II narcotic, so that he could bring them on the CBP Air and Marine Operations helicopter on which he would be a passenger in New York City,” the whistleblowers said in the report. “Dr. Eastman claims that his possession of fentanyl lollipops was necessary in case a CBP operator might be injured, or in case the CBP Air and Marine Operations team encountered a patient in need.”

Customs and Border Protection is the chief agency responsible for detecting and stopping the illegal flow of fentanyl into the U.S. across international borders.

7. Depending on the state, cannabis.

In states where one can only get it prescribed, one can procure them in lollipop form.

9. The Army invented these

How they work is a combat medic sticks one in the mouth of a wounded soldier. When he’s had enough fentanyl the mouth muscles relax and it falls out. They work really well and the medics are happy with them.

4. Migrant blame game

They're trying to blame migrants for fentanyl flowing into the country when it's actually elements within our own government bringing much of it in. Just like in the 1970's and 1980's with the heroin and crack cocaine trade. Police put the shit on the streets.
