Cartels Against fentanyl

Signs have appeared in northern Mexico claiming that the notorious Sinaloa Cartel is no longer pushing the synthetic opioid drug fentanyl.
The drug, known as ‘apache’ or ‘china town’ , causes thousands of overdoses worldwide every year- and is one of the most profitable income streams for the infamous crew, so investigators have poured cold water over the claims.
Nonetheless, one of Mexico’s top journalists, Michelle Rivera, wrote a translation on social media about what the banners revealed.
“In Sinaloa the sale or trafficking of Fentanilo is prohibited, say the Chapitos. Placed in various points throughout the State,” the broadcaster stated.
“The sale, manufacture, transportation or any type of business that involves the substance known as fentanyl is strictly prohibited, including the sales for its production.
“They also assure that they have never been related to the fentanyl business. ‘Depend on the consequences,’ they warn.”
The banners appeared in the northern state on Monday, known as "narcomantas", and were signed by Los Chapitos, the sons of El Chapo Guzman who took over their dad’s evil gang when the crime boss was extradited to the United States in 2017.
Prosecutors in Sinaloa confirmed that the banners appeared on overpasses and near motorways, but could not say whether they were genuine or who had placed them there.

At least they have standards!

Don’t fall for the benevolent act. It’s because they are getting way undercut by the Chinese and aren’t making money off of it. They are still going to push their big profit makers.

It would seem like selling a product that kills your customer base is bad for business.

I wonder if it’s part of a long term play to get the people on their side and take full control of the government

This is because enough white people in America are starting to die from fentanyl overdoses that the US government is being pressured to take this seriously, and if it continues to escalate the cartels in actual danger from the US military. They need to keep the deaths at a level Americans are willing to ignore.

About time. Just sell weed and blow like a good, customer oriented cartel for gods sake.

Mexican drug cartels are known for their ethics. No surprise here.

Killing off your customer base is usually a poor business tactic.

Saw this last week on the WSJ (didn't post b/c it was behind a paywall). Market forces win again.

Wow. So incredibly ignorant. You think China is selling fentanyl directly to US consumers?
If not, how are they "undercutting" the cartels, exactly?

It's not standards. It's business. Fentanyl hurts their sales of other drugs. People aren't buying as many party drugs because fent has tainted everything. You can't trust any cocaine or ecstasy being sold these days.

The problem is they're not taking it seriously, even after some faux pressure from the right.
This country is more concerned with supporting Ukraine and Israel and the citizens in those countries, rather than our own.
There's over 100,000 overdose deaths per year. No one cares though except when it can be used for political purposes bc most of those citizens are viewed as lost causes.

I think it's more than immediate business. That's certainly a factor, but I also think they're concerned about a potential war with the United States military somewhere down the line.

THIS is why they're doing it. It's a business decision.
Fentanyl is a good short-term boost but a long-term danger.

The money is in trafficking humans.
