Blaming Mexico for Americas drug problem is like blaming McDonald’s because you’re fat.

Nobody ever talks about why so many people feel so desperate that they risk their very lives to escape reality nowadays. Another new "war in drugs" ought to be just as ineffective as the last war on drugs was.

This is there new war… ppl do these drugs because they have no choice. The gov realizes this and now they are just poisoning them. Who wants to kill the clientele? What professional drug addicted would mix a tranquilizer with an opiate and not expect to die. Fentanyl didn’t have the full effect so they just ramp it up more and more. Clean 7yrs… and I don’t see many other reasons for the introduction of them but withdrawal is why ppl still feel no choice.

They are forcing their hands and giving ppl no choice but to die from their poisoned on purpose drugs. Essentially scaring everyone back to compliance of buying the “American” made pharmaceuticals. Lowering population and increasing your dependency upon the “right” people. Not war...✌️

Approx 150,000 Americans died from fentanyl last year. More than twice of the whole Vietnam War. Its projected to double that this year. Not a single memorial will be erected on their behalf. Thousands of memorials have been erected for the Vietnam War. Thats how propaganda works!!

@@kimberlygarrett1485 Thats literally every police officer working in a patrol division Ive managed to speak with on social media so far based upon verified status groups on reddit. Not many to be sure - but if this is pandemic one would expect to see it first in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and Alabama in resounsingly large numbers given the historical data on illicit drug routes into the US, and the general popularity of the opioid family. Yet thats not what we see. Its also interesting that we dont see this issue popping up in departmental policy manuals as a safety issue. Further more, the coast guard apparently isnt finding it floating in the gulf of Mexico, either. We also must consider that Fentanyl not properly compounded is a potential inhalational hazard requiring a N95/KN95 mask for safe handling per typical compounding pharmacy regulations. Insert COVID mask data here concerning how stupid a significant portion of the population can be (drug dealers, prostitutes, and drug users were among the late mask adopters during Covid) and we expect way more deaths than what is claimed.
