“Fentanyl is jUSt sOmE rEtaRded eXcuse Trump is uSing fOr tarRifs “

it’s NOT , this is not a partisan issue , it’s a full-scale war and one of the most insidious genocides unfolding before our eyes.

Chinese criminal organizations established sophisticated outposts along the Mexican and Canadian borders and even within the U.S.—laying the groundwork for a crisis of unimaginable scale.

If you truly understood the extent of this catastrophe, your blood would boil. Fentanyl is killing 200 people a day, and those who survive often descend into years of psychosis, derailing their entire future. How many brilliant minds friends you know with limitless potential out of nowhere descended into madness and lost everything? Take a guess at the cause.

Fentanyl isn’t just a threat to homeless or drug addicts , it only takes a trace to shatter someone’s psyche permanently, destroying families and sending victims down a path from mental problem , addiction to homelessness and, ultimately, death.

Your kids aren’t safe just because they’re “good kids.” Even people who have never touched drugs are testing positive for fentanyl exposure in routine urine tests. This crisis is bigger, deeper, and deadlier than most people realize. If nothing is done we’re gonna end up with a country full of mentally unwell , shattered families and lost futures , this not is not some partisan issue

“ The supreme art of War is to subdue the enemy without fighting “

Ohhh K but I'm hearing effectively identical rhetoric to what we've been hearing for decades about the War on Drugs, which makes me skeptical that the War on Fentanyl (I.e., aggressive federal government action being taken) is going to go any different.

Yes, this is a deadly drug. As is the case with any deadly drug, education and harm reduction are key, not checkpoints and tariffs that are antithetical to personal freedom, *and* ineffective at stopping fentanyl to boot (which due to its tiny dosing can be easily smuggled in passenger vehicles).

This is NOT a drug war repeat at all , fetanyl is on a category on its own , it can kill you if you consume just 2mg it’s not a drug crisis it’s a mass poisoning event. Unlike past drug wars , most victims don’t knowingly take fentanyl , they consume it disguised as Xanax, Adderall, or other pills. Harm reduction assumes users are aware of what they’re taking, but fentanyl kills instantly, often on first use. Traditional drug markets rely on repeat customers, but fentanyl shipments are so lethal that this seems more like a national attack than some drug business , This isn’t a War on Drugs it’s a War on Poisoning. Fetanyl is closer to dealing with a biological weapon than dealing with drug war . There is no supply demand crisis like cocaine etc , it’s a supply side crisis only

>they consume it disguised as Xanax, Adderall, or other pills

... So, pretty sure nobody's taking Xanax they got from a legitimate pharmacy with a prescription and getting fentanyl in that. What you're talking about are grey- or black-market pills, which is just another reflection of the drug war, because people are trying to obtain that without a prescription.

But again, harm reduction includes things like testing kits, etc. And this is still a "demand" problem, because black market actors still believe they can make money, which is why they're doing this.

Nobody's smuggling fentanyl because they're some kind of terrorists out to kill people per se, they're doing it to make money. The law of supply and demand still applies even for "really bad things."
