Title: huge drug problem being ignored...

TWO MEN NABBED WITH ENOUGH FENTANYL TO KILL 4.7 MIL PEOPLE

(And COVID's a problem, LOL)   ::)

Police arrested 36-year-old Edgar Alfonso Lamas and 53-year-old Carlos Raygozaparedes ... after authorities found 821 lbs of meth, nearly 190 pounds of cocaine and 20.5 pounds of fentanyl pills inside a minivan pulling out from an Orange County, CA home.

honestly, A LOT of the 'fentanyl" on the 'street' isn't fenanyl at all... it's damn near all obscure 'analogues' and 'zenes' that are dirt cheap and don't show up on tests, but keep users fom getting dope sick.... with much less risk of having their buyers OD.

To be fair people are not overdosing because they are taking Fentanyl they are overdosing because they don't know how much Fentanyl they are taking or that they are taking it at all. Imagine if every time you drank a beer you didn't know if it was 5% ABV or 95% ABV spiked with moonshine how many people would be dead? That is why alcohol is regulated and even drunks rarely overdose and die. When you regulate drugs and people know what they are getting and the dosage overdoses and deaths fall to near 0 levels. The war on drugs is not about saving lives.

Here in Portugal people are so poor they can't afford high doses. Never heard of meth or fentanyl over here.
Regarding the "decriminalize" use of drugs i read all the time in foreign publications,, it's not that linear. If you are smoking pot in public you get arrested. Not prossecuted, but arrested. You get a slap on the wrist by the judge. If you get many, you will face jail.

Hell, if i get caught with a few ampouls of roids, i can get charged with trafficking. 6 years.
The "portuguese example" i read all the time, is something that doesn't happen here in Portugal, only in Joe Rogan podcasts.

It's an inevitable conclusion of our war on drugs.  Fentanyl is much easier to smuggle than heroin, so that's what's dominating the streets.  Only two ways out:

1) provide clean regulated opiates to users
2) improve living conditions so people don't turn to drugs

neither will happen, but 1) has a slightly greater chance

I agree with you on this one. The drug wars have been an absolute disaster. Republicans going on about cartels controlling the  borders.  The cartels exist as a result of the black market opportunities created by the drug war.

It's simple supply and demand as long as there is a demand there will be a supply. We can't keep drugs out of maximum security prisons we are not going to keep them out of the Country. The more you stop the higher goes the price the more profitable it is to supply more the more crime is committed to buy and sell it. If you regulated it prices, crime committed to buy it would drop , crime committed to sell it would drop, and deaths would drop. What is the actual goal of the drug war? Because the drug war is what causes death and crime not drugs.

It’s always a win when a drug-user ODs and croaks.

I encourage this.

It’s amazing to me there are people who champion a need to save these people.

“They’re human beings.”

I don’t give a fuck if they’re Vulcans who cook fantastic pizzas.

They like to blame the opioid epidemic on doctor's over prescribing narcotics.  Well, opioid Rx are down 45% since 2011 and overdoses continue to set new records.

The real cause is that people are left worse off year after year, with less money in their pockets and no future to plan for.  50-60 years ago you could buy a house and support a family with one parent working.  Nowadays both parents work at least one job, with little savings or equity to show for it. The opioid epidemic is a symptom of a sick society, not an individual moral failing.

I’m thankful I am one who can recognize life as it is. Not be yet another bamboozled buffoon playing at fake angles and platitudes.

You get what you get.

We all die alone. But around me will be family, likely busy changing CDs as I bang my head as best I can.

And I won’t be miserable.

Fortress will be ROCKING.

My father died when I was young. Shortly after it happened I recall walking around the street and seeing people going about their business and thinking to myself “My father just died and nobody cares.” It was a good life lesson.

In Canada, apparently, you can make $60,000 in government benefits alone, just from pumping out three fetal alcohol syndrome babies. Not to mention free healthcare and other benefits.

All the while, others work and make fuck all, after being robbed of taxes.

That's part of why I stopped working...I realized I was only doing it to support ungrateful people. I was giving $2,000 a month to people + charity, above and beyond any legal obligations.

And I had to pay taxes on that money.

So I just said "Fuck it."

With that, I've lost some meaning in my life, but I just can't bear to know I'm paying for all these losers while having to hear how racist White people are. I'm just sick of it.

I can't say what's driving this despair for White people in general - but for me, it's that.

It's probably a bunch of things.

The fat acceptance movement is utter cancer. Apparently one Plus-sized model died at age 33 or something, of her severe obesity.

Now we're allowing women in men's washrooms and in women's sports. I don't know how much this stuff concerns other people, but I think it's crazy.

did you lose meaning, or did you just become spoiled and even ungrateful because at this point you are used to not having to wake up and go to some soul sucking job?

i think if you went back to work for a little bit and had some idiot boss or gossiping trouble making coworkers you would appreciate what you got more

i'm talking about the stuff they're calling fentanyl these days, isn't the same 'fentanyl' that was killing everyone 2,3 years ago. they're different 'research chemical' opiates similar to fentanyl. most the 'fent' is now 'zenes'.. like isotonitazene, or metaprozene or whatever. there was 'purple heroin' all over the midwest that everyone thought was just died fent, but it's something called brorphine. some of the zenes have half lives longer than methadone so you can't do the normal suboxone induction because suboxone even 3days after your last dose will still put you into horrific precipitated withdrawal.

Same here. Fuck em all. I’ve had a few good friends go the drug addict route and 1 died and 1 is still just a loser, when the first one died I said oh well he chose his path. The second will die soon I imagine and he was a best friend for 15 years but he is and has been useless for many years now so good riddance to him as well.  WEAKNESS.
