fentanyl crisis USA

Nowadays opioid overdoses are a bigger killer in the USA than guns.

I was reading recently that they seized a bag of pure fentanyl in San Francisco, only a few Kilos but big enough to kill 500,000 people.

Does seem a massive problem compared to U.K & we are hardly a drug free country…

USA.
Overall, drug overdose deaths rose from 2019 to 2021 with more than 106,000 drug overdose deaths reported in 2021.

U.K.

4,859 deaths related to drug poisoning were registered in 2021 in England and Wales, equivalent to a rate of 84.4 deaths per million people; this is 6.2% higher than the rate recorded in 2020 (79.5 deaths per million).

Streets of Philadelphia, Kensington Ave Documentary, July 17 - 18, 2023.

I have seen Pictures on Twitter Like something from a horror Film parts of Philly

Like an Evil plague has overtaken

Recently watched mini series Painkillers on netflix about big pharma and doctors proscribing opiods that people didn't need and making false claims in order to make billions of pounds.

Sounded like an outlandish conspiracy theory that only an alt-right nutjob could dream up but turns out it's a true story.

Open border

Yes Open borders in Bidens America -Mexican drug cartels and unsafe borders  don’t say you wern’t warned

open borders have nothing to do with this you utter weirdos. Read Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe. It lays it all out. Simply down to a rapacious pharma company and a weak/complicit regulator.

Instead of calling it what it was - an illicit fentanyl poisoning epidemic -
caused by Mexican drug cartels ( and China ) bringing it into the country via unsafe borders
they decided to make up a scenario that Americans were dying from prescription drugs instead
They started terrorising doctors who prescribed taking pain relief away from elderly patients
The drugs are accessed on the streets - via the drug cartels and the open unsafe borders .
That’s what’s happening . You’re welcome

you literally have no idea what you're talking about

Fentanyl overdose has become the leading
cause of death among young Americans since 2019
US authorities say that China remains the primary source
of the precursor chemicals which are then processed and
manufactured into synthetic opioids by Mexican drug cartels
to bring into the US ‘ 99% of the fentanyl is coming from precursor
drugs from China and then it’s manufactured by two cartels, the Jalisco
and Sinaloa Cartels , and they are the ones who are bringing it across the border “

went into overdrive when they convinced the CCD,FDA, opiods weren't addictive
A bonanza $$$$ for all involved , similar marketing to the jab,unparalleled pharmaceutical marketing campaign.
All pleaded guilty , trillions & more death than your " pandemic"

Do you think this rapacious pharma company and weak/complicit regulators were unique, or could it possibly be a regular occurrence?

you literally have no idea what you're talking about

It's lfc, that goes without saying.

In America, very much so and it's a big warning to us about the costs of moving to a system where private companies have control to prioritise profits over service and safety here too.

Pineapple is conflating different issues and not thinking clearly , as usual

The people buying drugs are the same people who have always done so for decades
The difference is they are buying drugs on the street - heroin , cocaine that may or may not
be mixed with fentanyl .. used by the cartels because it’s cheaper and more potent
The problems occur because many are not aware of it . They are taking something much much stronger -
and it kills them

The case regarding American drug companies
and the FDA and doctors and use of and regulations ..  is a separate issue
You’re welcome

Seems strange that cartels are supplying drugs to kill of their buyers

*off

Well you see drug dealers are not that stupid
They don’t want to kill their customers .. but fentanyl is so
cheap and so much more potent that it means a little is easier to hide transport etc

And it seems they think it’s worth the risk …

Now pineapple literally doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about

It doesn’t matter how many books you might read .. if you cannot think clearly

I watched Painkiller Shrewd interesting series 

So Mexican drug dealers  are flooding the states with death but it has nothing do with it

Pineapple what does Empire of Pain have to do with Fentanyl ? 

The Sakler/Purdue mob were flooding the country with Oxycodone

and the Sackler family have immunity from prosecution

Justice Amrikan style!

Money makes the World go round

Yeah but

What difference are the Mexican Drug Cartels compared to the Sackler Gang?

Don't initially buy addictive illicit substances from shady people. How hard can it be for a population?

Aspro is right. Why would a drug cartel supply lethal drugs to their customers?

Having said that the dealer who supplied the fatal pills that killed Robert de Niro's grandson warned him to be careful as one of his customers had already died taking the pills that weekend

As the Americans say, go figure?

Why would Perdue supply lethal drugs to their customers

Perdue's product was manufactures to a high quality standard. i.e. everyone knew what was in the pill and the pills were prescribed by doctors. So plenty of people became addicted but relatively few died.

Drug cartels obviously don't have the same manufacturing quality control and a customer can buy as many as they want.

Obviously?

Do you think this rapacious pharma company and weak/complicit regulators were unique, or could it possibly be a regular occurrence? 

Lessons have been learned since then. Let's not even contemplate it ever happening again until which point we are told lessons need to be learned  again.

What lessons?

Rich people get away with murder?

We knew that already!

You sound like some sort of anti.....
