I'm sorry for your loss Ray, but people shouldn't politicize fentanyl or the opiod crisis. They occurred regardless of what political party was in power.

One party opened the borders to allow a virtual unlimited flow of Fentanyl in primarily through Mexico so yes, it's political.I'm sorry for your loss Ray, but people shouldn't politicize fentanyl or the opiod crisis. They occurred regardless of what political party was in power.

That's nice, but the reality is people are dying everyday from ingesting Fentanyl unknowingly. Of course most of that is from illegally produced drugs coming from Mexico. The potency of this drug is incredible, it takes just a few grains laced into a pill to make it lethal. That is poisoning not overdosing.Don't think so.
Fentanyl is a commonly used prescription drug.
{...
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse. Fentanyl is added to heroin to increase its potency, or be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe that they are purchasing heroin and actually don’t know that they are purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths. Clandestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico.

If used in careful doses, it is not deadly.
So whenever someone dies, it is because the purity was unknown.
If drugs were legalized, then all purity would be known, and no one would die from fentanyl.
But that wasn't really the OP, or was it? Rigby's point was that if heroin was legal, people wouldn't get fentanyl, or if they did, it would be in "safe" doses, produced in a US monitored lab. I'm not sure legalizing heroin is a good idea. But .... it would remove the profit motive for smugglers.That's nice, but the reality is people are dying everyday from ingesting Fentanyl unknowingly.

Cartels via Mexico. Ships on the West Coast otherwise. It's made in China.Who brings in the drugs Humberto?
Oh good grief, he didn't compare him to a dog.
"My nephew died like a dog". What do you think he was comparing his nephew to?Oh good grief, he didn't compare him to a dog.
I think you meant to say "and a much larger illegal marijuana trade?"They would have to be legal, untamed and free. The states that have legalized Marijuana have both a legal Marijuana trade and a much larger Marijuana trade.

You have to be wrong. The mules are caught on a daily basis.Again, illegal alien immigrants are NOT the source of drugs in the US.
They can barely carry enough water and food in order to survive.
And their odds of being searched are way too high.
They are not going to take the risk for what little they could carry.
Marijuana is legal in California. No one wants to pay the taxes. Nor do they care about purity. Dealers develop a personal relationship with users. A user can get a freebie by bringing in a new customer. The state Marijuana store won't do that.Sure, but if legalized, then purity would be ensured to be low enough to not be lethal.
There would still be problems, but it would be taxes, safer, and not supporting armed gangs.

Wrong.BS. If drugs were legal, there'd be more druggies.
Wrong.
Portugal decriminalized all drugs and 10 years later drug use was down, drug overdose deaths were down, and drug related crime was down.
A few ounces of fentanyl are enough to kill everyone in every major city in the US.Again, illegal alien immigrants are NOT the source of drugs in the US.

Even over the counter drugs can be dangerous or fatal if you take a handful at a time.Sure, but if legalized, then purity would be ensured to be low enough to not be lethal.
