🤔 these are very good points. Not everything is necessarily a conspiracy, and drugs are a free market for the most part.

Although now that I'm thinking about it flooding the country with cheap drugs so that many Americans become unfit for the military would be a good strategy for China. I think that deaths among military age men increased signficantly during the worst of the surge in opiates.

I think China allows or allowed fentanyl precursor chemicals to be exported but not sold domestically. But that wouldn't explain the other drugs.
