Fentanyl

First, some basic facts:

The United States is in the middle of a devastating opioid epidemic, and its deadliest driver is fentanyl. This synthetic opioid, far more potent than heroin, is fueling a tragic and alarming surge in overdose deaths...

  • In 2021 alone, over 107,000 Americans died of overdoses⁠—the highest total ever recorded. Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are overwhelmingly responsible for this catastrophic loss of life.
  • Nearly 71,000 of those 2021 overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl. This means fentanyl is now linked to roughly two-thirds of all fatal drug overdoses in the U.S.
  • No demographic is immune to fentanyl's devastation. Deaths are spiking among various racial groups, younger populations, and older adults. The crisis cuts across state lines, impacting rural and urban areas alike.
Also:

  • Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than heroin or morphine.
  • In 2021, over 100,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in the US. Opioids like fentanyl were involved in most (over 75%) of these deaths.
  • Nearly 9 out of 10 opioid overdose deaths in 2021 involved synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
  • Every day, over 150 people die from overdoses involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
  • Since 2015, fentanyl has been involved in a growing number of overdose deaths. It was implicated in 20% of benzodiazepine-involved deaths in 2015, rising to 70% by 2021.
  • In 2022 alone, fentanyl caused about 200 deaths per day. Over a quarter million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses since 2018.
  • Fentanyl overdoses more than doubled between 2019 and 2022, with over 73,000 deaths in 2022.
  • Fentanyl has been linked to over half of all drug overdose deaths since 2019. By 2022, it was involved in around 70% of overdose deaths.
  • In 2021, fentanyl accounted for over 67,000 preventable deaths, rising 26% from 2020.

With that in mind,

Trump signs order labeling fentanyl ‘weapon of mass destruction’​



This decision is not without significant implications, specifically:

The executive order signing gives Trump administration officials additional tools to target countries, cartels and other organizations that are connected to the manufacturing and distribution of fentanyl.


It would appear that America may be ready to fight back and not just continue to do nothing.

If we have learned anything regarding drug and alcohol abuse over the past century it is that legal wars against them do not work. As long as something that can be easily produced for $10 a kilo can be sold for $50,000 a kilo, there will be people willing to produce it, transport it to where the market for it is. The best markets for Cocaine, speed, heroin, weed and noe fentynal are here in the US, Europe, Australia and West Africa.

Killing people for transporting drugs is not going to stop abuse anymore than making alcohol illegal stopped drinking during prohibition did. What it surely WILL do is create huge cabals of illegal drug lords (like the one Trump just pardoned) and create violence on the streets for turf.

Heroin was invented by the Bayer aspirin company back in the early 1900s and could be purchased through the Sears Catalog for $1.98 for about 20 doses and a clean hype kit. Cocaine was one of the main ingredients in Coca Cola and was sold in drug store soda fountains throughout America. One could go into any drug store and purchase a quart bottle of Loudnum which was a concoction of alcohol, morphine, cocaine for about $2.00.

What has caused all the problems related to drugs and alcohol are these draconian laws that have been passed since the 1920’s as a result of some religious whacko named Anslinger which have gotten more draconian and ridiculous over the years. No idiotic declaration by Trump is going to do anything but further erode The Bill Of Rights and foment territorial wars and violence. Drugs need to be decriminalized and controlled for quality by the FDA in order to minimize deaths and violence associated with drugs.

It's all a distraction to keep American eyes off of the Epstein Files and Trumponomics™.

A more usefull job for the military would be to take out more Iranian nuclear sites.

I don't know if Trump's plan will yield any good fruit or not.

I do know that Biden's policies didn't. On his watch, a bad problem got worse.

I am for trying something different.

Evidently Trump favors Honduran drug dealing over Venezuelan. It’s a matter of who will give Trump and his brats a bigger piece of the drug action. Anything Trump does is measured in cash into his pockets.

Biden’s DEA and DOJ indicted El Chappo partner, President of Honduras, convicted and got him sentenced to 45 years. Trump, obviously hoping for a share of future cocaine profits released this guy after less than two years.

More Americans die of fentanyl than the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam wars, combined.

The President is .... once again ....Right.

Action needs to be taken to protect Americans.
