Serious question, its becoming so easy to get legal weed it's got to be cutting their profits.

Are they mad and intentionally lacing shite with fentanyl?

They’re pushing fentanyl cause it’s cheap and they’re getting a good deal from the Chinese. Cartels don’t care about lives, only moving product.

Weed is low margin. Shipping costs are higher due to volume and it’s harder to move large amounts.

It's because they have a much easier time getting the basically unrestricted precursor chemicals imported compared to trying to import heavily restricted precursors for other synthetic drugs. It's also a lot easier and less risky than trying to import illegal/heavily restricted natural drugs or trying to grow them.

The cartels only care about making profit. Opiates represent the highest profit margins while marijuana represents the worst profit margins. It's simple cartel economics.

It's also why it's incredibly stupid that people believe they are "lacing" marijuana with fentanyl.

Why kill the customer base? They know what fentanyl does, why risk killing off the business, that let’s them stay on top of the world south of the border?

Opium Wars china

I’m really starting to think that Covid and fentanyl and TikTok and other stuff are part of a communist plot to eventually attack the US and kick off ww3

It may be conspiracy level but there’s precedent

quote:

Chinese money launderers and fentanyl-makers have gone into business with Mexican drug cartels, teaming up to make billions of dollars a year trafficking the powerful opioid that is killing thousands of people in the United States.

The fentanyl boom facilitated by China represents a third wave of the opioid epidemic, following first an increase in the abuse of prescription painkillers around the turn of the century and then a rise in heroin use. But the fentanyl phase is different in that it involves an international operation of people in multiple countries working together to produce and transport the drugs and then secretly shuttle the profits across U.S. borders.

Crazy thing is Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil had this exact same conversation on the episode that dropped today.
Dr. Phil has the opinion that it's China supplying the ingredients and recipes to Mexico with the intentions of it being sold to and killing Americans while bolstering Mexico's cartels.
They're giving Mexico a way to make ridiculous profits which makes them a bigger threat and pain in the butt for us while also killing our civilians. Win-win for China.

Are people buying it? Yes or no?

Is there a sucker born every minute? Yes or no?

Addicts are stupid. Have you interacted with society lately? Let me know when you notice a shortage of stupid people.
