That's the problem with fentanyl and variants like sufentanil that are many degrees stronger - you can hide mass killing doses in very small spaces.

I can't think of how many people 130K pills could kill.

This crap is practically a nat'l security risk.

That $18B we are sending to Ukraine sure could have bought a lot of border surveillance and law enforcement on this matter.

Indeed. While I'm not the biggest H.W. Bush fan, he did have a strong and excellent interdiction policy at our borders.

The result was supply was cut, prices skyrocketed, and the drug problem went way down because the druggies couldn't afford it.

Reality is there is no need for supply if there is no demand. You can't blame it all on the cartels.
