fent is a big issue. It kills those who seek it out intentionally, and those not seeking it out because it's now cheaper to cut everything by with fent instead of the real fucking thing.

but all this is going to do is affect the poor, those with habits to feed daily, kids selling dime bags on the corner, and anyone who gets caught with fent and isn't white.

and it'll probably allow him to continue killing Latin Americans in boats.

I'm too stupid to think much further than that.

    This is why he's doing this, I think, despite the fact that the fent isn't coming from LatAm.

    Didn't he say it was coming from China just a few months ago?

    I thought the whole thing about fentanyl being super-lethal was made up by cops?

    I'm more talking about folks getting bags of something cut w fent, then being injected or snorted and dying. Or fake pills pressed w fent, that sorta stuff. The whole 'touch three grains of fent and drop dead instantly" is horseshit, tho.

    The thing cops made up is that breathing in or touching fentanyl will kill you.

    That said, it's still a very strong opioid, and very cheap. This leads to overdoses when dealers cut their product with it and lie about what it actually is, as well as when users take a similar amount of fentanyl that they would to other opioids not realizing that it's much stronger.
