Border Patrol drug dog catches ‘almost two pounds’ of fentanyl pills hidden in Mexican woman’s underwear
Nate Madden · August 23, 2019
Border Patrol agents stopped “almost two pounds†of fentanyl pills from hitting American streets at a port of entry earlier this week, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol statement says.
The catch happened at the Nogales-Mariposa port of entry on the Arizona border on Tuesday afternoon. “Officers at the Mariposa Crossing referred a 22-year-old Altar, Sonora, Mexico, woman for further inspection at a pedestrian lane after a CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to an odor it was trained to detect,†the press release says. “A subsequent search by officers led to the removal of 5 packages hidden in the woman’s undergarments contain[ing] almost two pounds of fentanyl pills, worth nearly $21,000.â€

More could be coming over or we are getting better at detecting this stuff. It's staggering that there is such a market for this.

It is amazing that this stuff sells on the street. It is an anesthetic. All it does is put you to sleep. That's all. It is the same with Ambien. All it does is put you to sleep. I can't see anyway anyone could consider knocking themselves out to be fun? I don't get it.

Both fentanyl and heroin are considered to be extremely addictive drugs. They can produce an intense and euphoric “high,†and dependence can form quickly. Once the brain becomes used to the presence of an opioid drug, the body will require the drug in order to function optimally. Significant withdrawal symptoms can occur when the drug wears off. These effects include depression, anxiety, irritability, agitation, insomnia, and physical symptoms similar to those experienced with the flu. It may seem better to just keep taking the drug than deal with these painful withdrawal symptoms, and this can quickly lead to an inability to control how much and how often the drug is taken. Compulsive drug use caused by altered brain chemistry as the result of regular drug abuse is the definition of addiction.

It is used to "boost" other drugs, and it is killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.
China explicitly promised to help stop this drug doming from China, but have failed to keep that promise.
