Mother of 2 Fatally Overdosed on Fentanyl Delivers Heartrending Testimony at House Hearing on Border Crisis: This is a war! Act like it! Do Something

[basquebromance]

I don't use the term 'drug overdose' because this was not an overdose. This was murder

Dude, you need to work on your presentation skills. How does a mother who fatally overdosed testify at a House hearing?

She had two sons die from fentanyl. Not funny.

This is what we wanted.
This is what we voted for.

It's a war on American citizens who choose to use non government approved recreational substances. With powerful chemicals like fentanyl, regulating for purity, proper dosing level, and information on how to combat overdosing would go a long way to saving people like her sons from dying. The black market has none of that. It's a crap shoot.

Sure -

Except now it is no pervasive that it is showing up in people who have not chosen to do that.

They use it to manufacture black market opioid look alikes like Vicodin and Oxy. It is so powerful that they have a hard time measuring proper doses and unsuspecting users use them like they would a prescription drug. A recipe for disaster

If she had two sons that died, that's not funny. But that's not what the resident board grenade thrower typed.

100,000 are dying from drug overdoses, and open borders makes it worse.
Trump made a dent in the deaths in 2018 & 2019, and the Xiden Crime Family ramped them back up.

I think you're referring to a Twitter post, but yes its poorly worded. Probably by a translator program.

Lying about the our border and pretending we have no border controls isn't going to make the problem go away. Interdiction and incarceration has failed spectacularly. Continuing the same process and expecting different results is nucking futz!

Of course
Why not make an attempt to keep it away from those people?

But dood. This IS what socialism does.

This IS what you claim to want.

I've watched that attempt repeatedly fail in the last 50 years. Imo, the societal costs of the black market are greater than the cost associated with the effects of the use of these substances.

Quite simple. Unending demand. You'll never be able to keep it away from some people. And as long as the demand is there, you can put all the laws and enforcement in place you want..and it won't stop it. The suppliers will keep shipping.

Legalize it. Decriminalize it. All of it. Tax it. Regulate it. Allocate more money for treatment programs and education (which you need to do in any case). You will always have addicts. That will never change.

Lying about what has worked is all democrats do.

Trump's wall and remain in Mexico program reduced drug deaths.

Biden's open borders has accelerated drug deaths. That is a spectacular FAILURE, aka a DISASTER. Continuing a failed policy is what low-IQ democrats do.

That's crazy. If you think cities are a mess now, watch what happens when all drugs are legal.
That is no way to run a country.
Open season on drug dealers is my recommended course of action.

The chart that showed the increase in overdoses death per year didn't drop during the Orange Gobbers term. But then again Trumpyberra was wildly successful at curbing legal immigration, he didn't curb illegals at all, until the pandemic hit........

Like they're not a mess now. Open season is not practical since most of your suppliers are out of this country and dealers are a dime a dozen. Take one out, two more will take their place. But take the profiteering and violence (largely) out of the equation, that will start making a difference.

In a county that prizes due process? Sweet. I hear we once honored a peaceful transfer of power too.

Oh the times they are a changin.
