You are playing word games as if cocaine is not laced with fentanyl and as if people didn't OD on cocaine before fentanyl was a thing.

Extrapolate this to opioids and that's what caused the fentanyl crisis

Yep. And the Federal government, especially Donald 1.0, caused it all.

You presuppose that information is reliable as reported by zero hedge. Cocaine prices are not uniform. It varies from market to market and things like purity in any market matter. But we don't get any real supply via the Caribbean anymore. Clinton basically killed it off around 1996....piggybacking on GHWB who also did a pretty good job on that end. Supply and the continued supply is not a problem right now along the Pacific and Central American route

Fentanyl deaths were skyrocketing last few years Obama. They just didn't slow down under trump.

It’s pretty hard to OD on coke unless you have pure coke. But coke that has fentanyl is easy to OD on obviously

Then the question is what replaces fentanyl and then the follow up question is if it's worse.


Stiffer penalties at home will take care of that. Minimal if not zero usage in Singapore and China where they have speedy trials and harsh consequences for dealers.

The Donald 1.0 admin changed clinic and prescription laws/guidelines essentially overnight, cutting off millions of people cold turkey. The black market for pills exploded in response.

The Federal government created the opioid crisis. In trying to "fix" the opioid crisis the Federal government created the fentanyl crisis.

Our courts would never allow such. Its a pipe dream.

the only way to beat Drugs is through attacking demand, but our constitution is going to limit punishment.

It also ignores the fact that cocaine use in the US has been skyrocketing over the past year or so.

You’re for anything illegal to get Donald Trump or any of his supporters.


Maybe the Fed Govt shouldnt have demonized legit pain patients, which led people to seek self medicating solutions.

In October 2017, President Trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency


And thats when Fentanyl became a big thing. Take Fentanyl away, and the next synthetic will enter the market.
quote:


As regulations around prescription opioids tightened, many individuals turned to more potent alternatives. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, became increasingly available on the black market. It is significantly more potent than heroin and other opioids, making it a dangerous substitute. The transition from OxyContin to fentanyl has resulted in a dramatic increase in overdose deaths, creating a new wave of challenges for public health.

Kill all traffickers and dealers. All of them. No mercy at all. Burn their fields to the ground with naplam. Kill their families. GAU8 their boats and occupants. F-U-C-K the simps on this board who think that these people can be dealt with in any other way.
