Marijuana laced with fentanyl is rising across the US, a Washington doctor has warned, after cases of the drug cocktail were found in New York, Alabama, Illinois and Louisiana.
Fentanyl, a highly potent synthetic opioid that's 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin, is increasingly being mixed with other substances to make them more potent at a cheap price.
Just two milligrams of fentanyl – imagine 10 to 15 grains of table salt – can prove fatal, and staggering figures showed it is killing the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every week.

The scourge of drugs is destroying this country. 150,000+ overdoses last year, continuing to climb and may exceed 200,000 this year. All the dopers and potheads that claim drugs are not harmful are just plain wrong. Unless the citizens of this country get serious about sealing the borders, rooting out and expelling the criminal invaders, and imposing severe penalties for drug use then history will show that China defeated America on the cheap.

Fentanyl is extremely dangerous. Marijuana is NOT extremely dangerous. At least no one overdoses on marijuana and dies minutes later. I don't know of any case of that ever happening. So lacing a drug that is safe in the near term with another drug that is extremely deadly in the near term is a terrible thing to do. And frankly I think it should be considered attempted murder. If anyone is caught smuggling fentanyl laced marijuana across the border they should get the death penalty at the border. The Geneva convention says that if the enemy is not wearing the uniform of the enemy they are a spy. And a low ranking officer in the field can order the execution of a spy. Smuggling fentanyl is an act of war. A few executions at the border would stop the smuggling.

So... cheap, very potent fentanyl is being mixed in with other drugs and "it is killing the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every week."
The "classroom of children" is used to evoke the image of a group of 30 or so kids in perhaps the 3rd or 5th grade.... school kids in Andy Griffith's Mayberry.
I would wager that a photo line-up of actual weekly 'victims' would present a different image, that of a bunch of losers and thugs.
As far as I know, NO-ONE is being Forced to ingest this stuff, they are all doing it because they want to.
Hmmm..... is this ridding us of some of 'the worst of the worst'?
Maybe the Fentanyl sellers are doing us a favor by removing these thugs from our streets.
For those that think the USA would be better off without the Fentanyl, may I remind you that pretty much all of this comes across from Mexico, and the Democrats welcome it into the USA along with the thousands of Illegal Immigrants that come across every day.

Just another one of dementia joe's "accomplishments". The border is wide open to the drug smugglers because bidet's open border policy keeps the border patrol tied up processing "asylum" seekers. Fentanyl is comparatively cheap to make and easy to smuggle, so we are getting more and more of it.
This is all in bidet's lap.

I would suggest when these drug runners are found with fentanyl, they should be made to eat every pill on the spot.

I sometimes wonder if this culling out stupid drug users is a manifestation of Darwin's "survival of the fittest".

An acceptable risk if you're scoring your dope on the street.

Why do these people take pills that they can't identify. Darwin awards indeed, unfortunately many of them are children who do not think it through. Instagram says let's get high.

Yep, " Oh, pot is harmless."
NOT.
Any legalized drugs are the pathway to drug addiction and brain damage. The reason so many young people are so messed up in the head.....too much dope, on top of the Communist Teacher's Union's indoctination into insanity like "a boy can be a girl, or a girl can be a boy".

No one is forcing you to take Fentanyl. No sympathy.

I try to find sympathy but the concept of useless drug users offing themselves by engaging in their favorite pastime seems like a cleansing operation that can only benefit the rest of us. Odds are they are only leftist idiots anyway.

I was extremely surprised that my 90 yr old mom who fell and broke her hip recently, was given fentanyl after surgery, for pain. It was extraordinarily powerful; she couldn’t remember things that had happened and were said before the surgery, and she had several difficult nights when she didn’t know where she was and had intense dreams that she thought were real.
I guess they thought other painkillers wouldn’t be enough. Tho My dad did fine with his 2 hip replacements, at 70 and 90, w/ something besides fentanyl
I find hospitals really frightening lately.

#13, I just had it as part of a mix for sedation during a colonoscopy and it was fine. Remembered what I said to the doctor before going under and then waking up with no after affects. Of course that was in a medical facility with professionals. Not on bidens corrupted lawless streets.

This is unacceptable. The indifference to stopping the scourge of drugs flowing freely to and (I guess) being manufactiured in this country is as immoral as putting a gun to a child's head and pulling the trigger. The Political opposition to this MUST be removed. I repeat. Any Politician that is not 100% against stopping this murder by WHATEVER means possible is putting a gun to a child's head and pulling the trigger.

1. Locate the fentanyl factories in Communist China.
2. Arrange for an explosion and fire, there are multiple ways that this can be arranged. ANY are good.
3. Repeat as often as required.
