Authorities seize record 1.7 million fentanyl pills in Arizona

Four out of every 10 pills seized had a lethal dose

An investigation began months earlier when Scottsdale police and DEA officials in Phoenix identified a courier suspected of transporting drugs for the Sinaloa Cartel, the police chief said. The unprecedented trove was found in several stash houses and storage lockers throughout the region.

In addition to 360 pounds of fentanyl pills, investigators recovered 10 kilos of powdered fentanyl and 1 pound of methamphetamine — valued at an estimated $9 million altogether, Walther said.
The bust marked the single biggest one-time seizure of fentanyl in Arizona history, according to Cheri Oz, special agent in charge of the DEA’s Phoenix field division.
Some 700,000 lives were potentially saved by the historic bust, Oz said. The DEA has seized a record 20 million fentanyl pills nationwide this year, including more than 9.5 million in Arizona alone.
“One pill one time can kill,” Oz said, noting that the US had logged more than 100,000 drug overdoses over a 12-month span, a surge of nearly 30 percent over the previous year. Just four states — New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire and South Dakota — saw drug overdoses decrease during the 12-month period ending in April.
“Criminal drug networks are fueling this unprecedented overdose epidemic, flooding our communities with counterfeit, fake pills,” Oz said. “That is a life lost in this country every five minutes — every five minutes we lose someone to opioids.”
Four out of every 10 pills seized had a lethal dose. Over a two-month span, DEA officials in Phoenix seized 3 million pills, 45 pounds of fentanyl powder, 35 firearms and arrested more than 40 alleged drug traffickers, Oz said.

The USA needs to go old school on the cartels AND their suppliers while also quitting the war on drugs and establish a legal free market access to weed.
Sadly we have a "leader" that cant tie his own shoes.

Did they hit us with the ol “Enough fentanyl to kill every person in the Phoenix metro”?

Big Pharma and corrupt doctors opened the gates to this, the draconian kneejerk reaction will wind up killing even more as the cartels and chinese fill the gap.
My Dr. of 20 plus years refused to write me any cough syrup when I had Rona, I was getting tussionex when I was 17 years old.
Like a fricking bottle of cough medicine is going to turn me into a fentanyl junkie.

We have been at war with China for decades. The USA just doesn't know it.

Fentanyl.
Why can’t we just have some good quality cocaine like back in the day?

It's almost like we stopped building a border wall, told agents to stop enforcing laws, and several border patrol have had to resign over vaccine mandates or something

To fill the void, the feds have more or less banned prescribing any pain medication.
