China was the supplier. But not Mexican cartels are getting the raw materials from China.

WASHINGTON — President Biden on Thursday refused to answer a question about whether he pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping on fentanyl exports and the origins of COVID-19 when they met this week — as House Republicans prepare to investigate the Biden family’s extensive financial links to Beijing.

Fentanyl and COVID-19 claimed about as many American lives in recent years as all of the nation’s wars combined, but a White House readout didn’t mention either after Biden’s three-hour Monday meeting with Xi in Bali, Indonesia.

What do you suppose is better, more deaths or fewer deaths?

Fewer. Hence my opposition to the drug war.

A Paradox:

The drug war saves lives in China, where drug dealers get the death penalty.

What happened to more deaths being the undesirable option?

China's policy of executing drug dealers, reduces the overall death rate.

Illegal drugs are being smuggled in by illegals.

Mexican drug cartels have found a new source of labor to backpack marijuana into the United States: illegal immigrants.

"They hit us, threw us on the ground, searched us and took our money," Rodolfo said at the Pecos Criminal Justice Center in Pecos, Texas. "Then they told us if we didn't smuggle drugs for them, they would kill us. They didn't give us any other option."

Migrants Say They're Unwilling Mules For Cartels

Traffickers are reportedly forcing illegal border crossers to smuggle drugs into the U.S. For courts along the border, it's a struggle to decide how to deal with terrified migrants, especially when there's no proof to their claims.

Marijuana? Seriously? It’s already legal in 21 states. And in Missouri—a very conservative state where I live—voters just passed an amendment to the state constitution that will legalize the cultivation and sale of marijuana (and its derivative products) to persons age 21 and older. The referendum passed with 53% of the vote.

Why would meth dealers add fentanyl to their meth?

(Fentanyl-tainted meth is one of the items mention in the first few posts.)

Dealers often mix meth and fentanyl to make drugs more addictive, but the combination can be deadly. Learn more about the dangers of meth and fentanyl.

Apparently it makes meth more addictive.

You know. Because meth is not addicitive enough.

It would seem to be at cross purposes with the effects amphetamine users are looking for not to mention the higher OD issues.

Yes, seriously, illegals are being threatened with murder if they don't smuggle marijuana.

I suppose because fentanly is so very inexpensive that it can be used to enhance more expensive drugs that have been cut in potency.

That's just my supposition.

I applaud Brooke Jenkins' efforts to get the situation under control in SF.

That was as best as I could determine as well.

It only takes enough fentanyl to kill, as equivalent to the volume of several grains of salt.

Well, I’ll make a prediction. By Nov., 2027–no more than 5 years from now—the cultivation, processing, purchase, and use of marijuana for recreational purposes by adults will be legal in all 50 states. Smuggling will disappear. This is as certain as the day follows the night.

How would that save people from fentanyl overdoses?

It wouldn't be meth at all. Just a pull with a minute amount ofnfentanyl instead
