Other than China and Mexico, I blame our Government. President of the United States, Secretary of Homeland Security, etc..for letting opioids such as Fentanyl to go through open Southern Border... I hope we will have hearings in Jan 2023, when Republicans take the House about why our Government left our Borders open to let all these drugs get to America and kill millions of Americans ....Somebody should be held responsible for this crime...BTW, I would say the same if Republicans were in charge..

Let me tell you, when I was in the hospital, Dr ordered Fentanyl through IV, it made me feel soooooo good... So I totally understand why people can get addicted to it...

If only there were some way to prevent heart attacks...
Healthy diets...
Exercise...
Regular checkups...

If only there were a way to prevent drug overdoses...
Not using illegal narcotics...

People need to be responsible for their lifestyles and choices...

Biden requested $3.5B to fight Opioid crisis, but $33B for aide to Ukraine...We now know where his priorities lie...And it's not for American people!!

There are at least 13 U.S. cities that are used as distribution hubs by the Mexican drug cartels.
According to the DEA, Mexican drug cartels continue to expand their presence and forge partnerships with other transnational gangs, U.S. street gangs, prison gangs, and Chinese money laundering organizations. The DEA "assesses that the following six Mexican TCOs as having the greatest drug trafficking impact on the United States: Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, BeltranLeyva Organization, Juarez Cartel, Gulf Cartel, and Los Zetas Cartel".

Sinaloa Cartel is one of the oldest and most successful drug cartels in Mexico. It is also the most significant drug trafficking organization in the United States.

Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is the youngest of the top 6 Mexican drug cartels. Based in the city of Guadalajara, CJNG is the fastest growing drug cartel and the second biggest player in the United States. This is probably not the last time you hear about CJNG as it is more willing to engage in violent confrontations with rival cartels and security forces.

You can't make this stuff up !!! There IS a war going on and General Biden is NOT on our side

Of course he's not on our side!!.. Just think $3.5B to fight Opioid crisis in America VS to $33.5B to aide in Ukraine... It says it all whose side he's on.

Fentanyl (as well as other drugs,) in and of itself is not the problem. And as you can personally attest to there is a use/purpose for these drugs. It is the users/dealers/those who profit from these drugs that are the problem.

Biden has been selling out this country, for decades...China/Russia/Ukraine/and more. The Mexican drug cartels are just the newest buyers.

Sometimes, CD, you make the most outrageous statements. I live with pain every day; sometimes it's so bad I wouldn't wish it on KevYn or Woodgulper. I'm just glad there is a med I can take to dull it down. I pray that you never have to experience pain like this. But then again, if you did you might change your mind.

I'm with you, R.J. - Nobody is making the distinction between illegal fentanyl, mixed and pressed into pills by criminals with NO TRAINING and legitimate pharmaceutical opiod pain medication, which IS effectively CONTROLLED.
I, too, am a chronic pain patient...myself and millions of others do not abuse our LEGAL meds. Street drugs, flooding through our southern [former] border are killing Americans by the thousands, and being called "Natural Causes" by the media. fjb

You're not an addict...
You have an actual condition...
My statement in no way was directed at individuals like yourself...

What's the condition???(if you don't mind my asking)
