Thanks, Slow Joe

Only you can be this dishonest. Fentanyl deaths are not “overdoses”, they’re at the very least, negligent homicides. No one knowingly ingests Fentanyl.
Me, I call them murder.

So, they knowingly take a substance that will kill them graveyard dead…
Oh, well…thinning out the herd.

Heroin is also more or less a death sentence, imo....it just usually takes longer than fentanyl.

A rare upvote for you.

A succinctly stated, rational expression of your opinion (with no mention of Trump or a maga hat). 😄

And I agree with you 100% !

I knew you had it in you!

Lol

I wouldn’t know

That’s just not true black tar is bad but fatenall is way worse

Not disputing that one is way worse.

Just saying they'll both probably eventually kill you. Which is why imo you kind of have to be somewhat suicidal / self destructive to start doing heroin. I mean it's not exactly a secret that even if you don't OD, it will probably f*ck up your life.

fentanyl was being cut into coke and xtc and pressed into a bunch of pills that were never sold as fen, people doing those drugs did not willingly and knowingly do fen. Cartels are guilty of murder and they need to be designated a terrorist organization for all the Americans they killed.

Dealer Tactics 101

That was the freebie to get you hooked (provided you lived).

I think it is more sinister than that. I believe that it is a coordinated effort between China and the cartels to poison the streets of America. There are always going to be people that want to get high that are not addicts, How many times back in the day did I stop by the ALKN corner and buy a gram or two of coke for a friday night with the boys, I was never addicted to anything. Never worried about getting murdered from getting high back then either. I remember Dealer tacitcs 101 being -
Give the customer the best most pure product you have on hand , get them hooked and then start selling the junk to them, where is the money is killing off your clientele?

The dealers are no longer Americans.

Sneaking opiates in on zoomers.

They give no 💩's about human life.

You live - you buy more, you have to, you're hooked.

Wasn't refuting the idea that literally any street drug these days might be laced with fentanyl & that people are unknowingly taking it....... I was refuting the claim that nobody consciously chooses to do it.

...because some do.

As far as your last statements there...
Idk about that.

1. If they're terrorists, they're terrorists directly funded by us. If we didn't want the drugs, they wouldn't be providing them to us for profit. That's probably why we've been losing the drug war for decades.

2. That designation seems to open the door to actually going to war with our neighbors. Yikes!

3. If we could stop the main problem.... fentanyl..... Would America be better off with ~50,000 more heroin addicts (who did not die from fentanyl) every year? Since 1999 there's been almost 1 million overdose deaths in general. I mean it sucks when you have a loved one addicted.... but at the same time many of these people are the one's sh*tting on the sidewalk, looting stores, robbing cars, etc.

ending cartel's power hold on Mexico would not only benefit Mexico it would help curb the drug busniess in America. Defeating the cartels with the help of the Mexican government would be far easier than trying to stop China from sending fen to the cartels. 99% of drug users want to get high not get murdered. At the same time we could take notes from China on how to deal with addicts, they are housed on work farms until they are deemed no longer addicts, I don't believe in jailing drug users, forced rehabilitation would be a good thing though. We are already at war, and we are losing , designating cartels terrorists would open different avenues of justice we could take.

Addicts had been overdosing on heroin for many years before fentanyl became readily available.

During an initial introduction period fentanyl was always a surprise which normally resulted in an addict getting a hot load.

Since they have been supplied narcan they seek out fentanyl. Cheaper and higher.

Yup.

The cheaper aspect of it came to me too after I already wrote that response but eh..

I'd also just point out that smoking contributes to far more deaths per year than fentanyl or heroin, meanwhile it's completely legal. Funny how that works. I guess at least you're coherent when smoking cigarettes.

General don't rob, steal from family, or prostitute to get cigarettes.

93,000 is more than 70,601
