another top show from this excellent channel, go CGTN keep up the good work

Fentanyl is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The whole responsibility for its use in the U$ is with FDA and the doctors who prescribe it.

After watching endless amount of fentanyl documentaries this is more of a propaganda image movie than anything coming to the reality ... Nice co-op

I cannot believe any modern country should allow any drug to be legal.

Are you going to talk about xylezene (Tranq), the large animal sedative? I also saw that drugs can be transferred in the paint on a guitar!

This documentary highlights the current tragic fentanyl crisis. Differentiating between pharmaceutical-grade fentanyl and the dangerous street versions is crucial, especially now that Xylazine is being mixed in. It's heartbreaking to see hundreds of lives lost each day due to this deadly drug. We need to raise awareness, educate people, and take targeted action to tackle this crisis head-on. Stay informed and more importantly stay safe everyone!

This is a good investigative journalism that falters US groundless accusations

It's murica why would we care anyway, it's a glimpse of karma but not even close of being enough.

The death penalty is still the answer to stop drug trafficking.

It's more then just saying no to drugs

America is a material world.

It’s everyone’s own decision on what to consume and everyone takes a risk when consuming illicit substances obtained from a random person on the street ! However no matter what fentanyl and other synthetic opiates are having a drastic effect of on the streets of most towns and cities ! People look like zombies and even act like them ! Getting off opiates is a very very difficult thing to do once one is dependant !

Shocking... great information

I am so glad that I dodged that deadly addiction.🙏

Fentanyl is used in many countries. In my country we get fentanyl patches. Its always used responsibly America always had addiction problem cocaine, heroin, crystal meth. These people need rehab centres but the us govt provides them with free syringes and ties etc to use the fentanyl and narcan in case they overdose, thats called enabling them

i have been given illegal medicines in my food

interesting fact: in russia dark-web drug markets do not allow vendors to sell fentanyl

Give folks all they want for free with explicite warnings of likely death. This will end America's addiction problem. I'm in my 70s and 43y clean and sober. People like to dance on the edge so let them with no help at all as it is a losing game.

I read in an article that crystal meth can be made with everyday household products so are these products now restricted in the US? In Australia petrol sniffing was a big problem! Ironically petrol sniffing was introduced by US servicemen during WW2. To combat fuel sniffing they created Opal fuel that can’t be sniffed. People and governments need to root out the origin of addiction.

What gets me is why the major increase in the past 4 years

Don't understand why cgtn gets a lot of hate. They have good programs

they all say there's too many useless and poor people around and you don't want them to die? I wish I had some too, the world would be full of shiny happy people with us gone

When Johnny got inside MAJESTIC he would of TALKED IN SOME KIND OF SLANG WHERE ONLY HIM AND THE MANAGER WOULD UNDERSTAND! The manager sent us to a room kind of like a karaoke room. Three girls came in and sit with us because there was three of us and we are at a hostess bar. The girls don't understand english so every time we talk to them, we got to talk to there phone so it would translate to there language. So I know they are some illegal immigrants from China. Ten minutes later Johnny ask the girls "CAN I GET SOME COCAINE?" The girl say " THE MOMMA GOT SOME." And left the room and came back with some COCAINE. LOL the girls don't understand english but they do understand "CAN I GET SOME COCAINE." Johnny and the guy that went with us started snorting the COCAINE. One of the girls say "YOU SNORT COCAINE." IT BETTER IF YOU SMOKE IT. SO SHE PUT THE COCAINE IN THE CIGARETTE AND STARTED SMOKING IT. RIGHT WHEN I SAW THAT I TOOK OF MY JACKET AND COVER MY NOSE AND MOUTH RIGHT AWAY! WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT BREATHE IN THAT CRACK COCAINE SMOKE.(WHEN YOU SMOKE COCAINE IT CALL FREE-BASE) THAT SECONDHAND CRACK COCAINE SMOKE CAN AND WILL GET YOU ADDICTED!!

DO YOU KNOW WHY WE ARE LOSING THE WAR ON DRUGS IN AMERICA? There this strip club here in Las Vegas, Nevada that by the MIDDLE EASTERN. That place is not a strip club but more like a TRAP HOUSE! And what is a TRAP HOUSE it a place where you walked in there as a normal person but come out as a DRUG ADDICT! Let me tell you what happens at this strip club so you and your family don't fall for this TRAP. Most of the strip club close to the Las Vegas strip are good, there nothing wrong with those but there this one strip club just a bit outside the Las Vegas strip. THAT PLACE IS A TRAP HOUSE! Right when we got to the strip club, I felt something was a little bit of. They only have one other table that have customer. EVERY TIME THE STRIPPER WALKED BY OUR TABLE EVERYONE IS HIGH AS HELL!

I say "HELL NO" BECAUSE I KNOW STRIPPER WOULD GIVE ME A LAP DANCE AND RUB SOME KIND OF DRUG ON ME. Security see me covering my nose and mouth with my jacket and refusing all the lap dance from the stripper, started surrounding me. Evey five minutes I got to get up and change seats because I did not want security to grab me from behind. I know they can't do anything to me at that strip club because it was MY OWN COUSIN THAT LURE ME THERE AND WE'RE JUST AT CAESARS PALACE CASINO BEFORE WE WENT TO THAT STRIP CLUB.

So don't let you and your family fall for this TRAP BECAUSE WHERE EVER THEY HAVE ONE STRIP CLUB LIKE THIS IN AMERICA, THEN THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE!

Why do people need this drug ????

They say every generation have there great story teller and I am the great story teller of my generation. And I am going to be one of the greatest story to ever live because the stories I tell can save you and your family from a life of crime, humiliation and DRUG ADDICTION! And I do have a lot more great stories to tell and I hope my life story can save you and your family from a life of DRUG ADDICTION. It is not easy helping a person that's already a drug addict but what we can do is educate the younger generation from falling for these traps and becoming the next drug addict. Because it not just the Asians that go around and lure each other and get each other addicted on drugs but all race. Americans have this one saying after their kids get addicted on drugs. "My kid he or she hang around with the wrong group of people. Well my question to them is this. Did they hang around with the wrong group of people or did they get lured? And my answer to them is "THEY GOT LURE." That is why educate one another, tell this story to your friends and family because if not the next drug addict can be your friends, family or love ones. Together we can slow down this disease!

It really comes down to wanting to get the help. For the people already addicted you can give and offer them all the help in the world but if you don’t want to get sober none of that matters it’s not going to work sorry to say but it’s true. We have all the rehabs the therapy the medications to help you get and stay clean like suboxone or sublocaid (shot to curve cravings) we have shots to block the opioid from getting you high but when people and politicians say there’s not enough being done it irritates me because it’s out there but if you don’t want the help nothing is going to change. Most of this war on drug bs is so people can make as much money as possible it’s all fake

If that worked the Nancy Reagan slogan would of worked

The Chinese luv to us North Americans dealing with this scourge anything to destabilize the democratic west.
