If they never changed the oxys the heroin and fentanyl problem would be tiny and mostly in city's. Not to mention oxys barley killed anyone back in the day compared to what we see now
Heroin isn't much of a problem unless it's tainted. Any tainted drug is a problem. Some people in Colorado died from tainted weed, recently. It's just the nature of street drugs. You have to legalize.
And yet us chronic pain patients have lost our life-saving medication due to blaming us and our doctors for OD's F it just let anyone do what they will to their own bodies
Pain meds are by no means life saving and no matter how you look at it, long term pain medication will lead to addiction. The doctors are just legal drug dealers at that point. Taking opiates for a long amount of time is never good even in “safe” dosages.
This fentanyl problem is because of the war on drugs, not in spite of it. I’m not advocating for the use of anything, but part of the reason you see this problem is that safer drugs have been criminalized. There’s a demand for this effect and being very powerful, cheap, and fully synthetic means that fentanyl is an easy sell for dealers.
yea but you might do coke or crystal and not know it has fentanyl in it. most weed smokers have done other drugs also you can smoke a laced blunt by accident.
Seems to me that the demand by US users for the drug will create a supplier, so you need to take a look at why such demand exists and try and sort that out rather than blaming the supplier. No demand, and suppliers will disappear. Just a thought.
A lot of these Fentanyl analogues have not been clinically tested, & don’t do much in regard to producing a high. Those that do, only last a very short time & require constant re-dosing in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms. the drug is so powerful that the tolerance of the user quickly skyrockets, requiring toxic amounts to keep the user well. It is an absolute dead end road.
Very true… way too powerful. People can maintain a moderate-low heroine addiction for years and still be somewhat functional in every day life. After months of juts weeks of fentanyl use and they are more strung out than ever and lose everything most the time
China allows the product to be produced, delivered to any neighbourhood at $3000 per Kilo. And do they like certain Neighbourhoods in Canada, especaily where Native folk live, along with Europeans who share the area with a high level of Chinese folk. The US , a clear target also. For the Chinese, this is just a horrific game Geopolitics and genocide. Some see it clearly. They should know we know what they are doing.
You're 100% right. Not being from the west myself, I happened to have a meeting with one Chinese CEO of a company that is manufacturing hardware for THC consumption. Once he got a bit drunk he said that the only reaskne they are producing it is to poison the young generator the people in the western countries. I'm not saying that cannabis is bad, the point is that their objective is 100% how you described it. In this regards it's awful to see western corps funding china.
2:08 is the sentence everyone needs to hear to actually understand the situation in terms of the US drug trade. It's why a wall won't work and why drug addiction needs to be taken on seriously as a public health problem.
@@Mrariesdave I think implementing a similar policy nationally and then matching the terms in Washington D.C. would make for a good trial in one location (since states will still have their own drug laws).
@@kris6456 WTH is taking this country so long to implement something like this? Switzerland medically dispenses pharmaceutical heroin and the studies show that addicts naturally outgrow it and want to reduce their intake; methadone is extremely ineffective, resulting in methadone addicts...Seems to me to be an arrogant flaw intrinsic to the USA to assume we are the best at everything in situations and cases where it is obvious that we are not.
And here we are five years later, this issue is still as bad if not worse. Nothing is being done about it. It's one of the leading causes of death in the US.
Hi. Don’t usually comment but just thought I’d clear up a misconception about legalizing fentanyl. I’m for the decriminalization of most drugs, but it is impossible to “regulate” fentanyl as it often kills at first use. It’d be like legalizing poisoned food.
@@benjaminjacklin677 Hi Ben. I appreciate your comment. The only issue I see with this is that firms in the market would still have an incentive to drive down costs by cutting products with fentantyl that they would now be able to *legally* access. Fentanyl has plenty of legitimate medical uses, and allowing for even users to have access to such a potent drug is a dangerous game. Put together, producers would now be able to access fentanyl with great ease. This point is especially important when you consider fentanyl's ability to kill-by-touch. Its the only drug that I believe is an exception to the logic of decriminalization/legalization.
@@michael_stefanko "kill by touch" ur such a smoothbrain. Tell me: If Absorption through the skin Was a viable Form of taking a drug (excluding things like fenty patches),wouldnt people be doing it?
The same people will do this horrible drug wether it’s legal or illegal, I know if they legalize it tomorrow I wouldn’t start doing it would you?? Unfortunately it will never stop, almost a half a trillion dollar industry every year on the drug trade!! As long as there’s demand there will be someone supplying it!! You could slow it down by quite a bit but our government would have to be ruthless like the cartels are!!

Because they dont want to accept self responsibility and accountability. If these drugs are medically prescribed as pain killer but has addictive effect, then why not prescribed other pain killers?

That comment about multiple US states following the trend of legalizing the use of marijuana was to blame for the increased flow of fentanyl into the US, was pretty bold to say the least. How does legalizing marijuana use, using USA grown and lab tested marijuana, affect illegal importing of fentanyl in any way?
A million packages a day. 10 fentanyl seizures in a month by the "trained" dogs. Tells you how much is probably getting through. War on drugs = failure
The Chinese guy's idea about states with legalized weed and Fentanyl abuse is ludicrous. If the states were legalizing heroin, then I would agree. But weed and Fentanyl are on opposite end of the spectrum.
Come to the west coast. All drugs are legal in Seattle and Portland. You can get arrested for drinking a beer in the park but if you are laying there with a needle hanging out of your arm they will give you narcan and a cup of coffee.
Wow hey that’s nice brotha. I was a heroin addict for years, I can tell you there has NEVER been a shortage of Fentanyl in NY, in fact, there’s such an oversupply you can get 20 bags for $100 now, those deals were never available for that few bags before.
Although I have never tried it I can only imagine it is quite the dragon. This is some rough stuff. Stay strong everyone and resist this temptation/test of your willpower.
anna oetker No... Fentanyl is one of the least euphoric opioids. It's potent, but it doesn't last long or feel particularly good compared to other opioids. Heroin is way more euphoric than fent
Fentanyl is garbage. I've had to have it during a spur of the moment procedure while in the hospital and it only takes 1mg of dilaudid for my pain (I'm small and don't use recreationally) but the fentanyl did next to nothing for me with regard to easing pain. Plus, I ended up throwing up and I never have that issue. It slightly puts you at ease but on the spectrum of pain therapy, it's incredibly low. Fentanyl is being laced into heroin as a cheap way to make it go further with regard to weight/volume. I think it's dumb to use any of that shit recreationally except maybe a pill here or there when you feel like total ass (unfortunately it seems many today can't seem to handle HERE OR THERE, Thank you for ruining it for the rest of us by the way yah fucking morons), but fentanyl in particular, if someone is specifically seeking it out to use, that's just asinine.
My little brother just died 3 weeks ago of a fentynal overdose, he was living homeless in San Francisco, this needs to stop, no one forced my brother to abuse fentynol, but finally knowing how this is getting into America makes me cry
Legalize heroin and give users a safe place to buy and use. Take the money out of the cartel. If they are going to get the drugs anyway at least do a civil service and regulate it.
In this Canadian documentary, about just another North American town, just like the thousands of others that started with an opioid epidemic where first people got their drugs from doctors, then when that route was cut off switched to heroin, then when the cartels realized they could make fentanyl in the same labs they made crystal meth (chinese aren't the only ones bringing fentanyl into U.S.). But that comment from the Chinese drug interdiction spokesman, that many states legalizing marijuana is creating the demand for fentanyl is without any merit at all. I was astounded to see in the comments below that as many people who comment here still think marijuana is a gateway drug. You just can't believe polls anymore. But in this CTV documentary done with W5 and VICE Canada's combined resources, first responders, hospital workers, harm reduction specialists, social workers, and survivors of addiction discuss that right now in their little city of Sault Ste. Marie, for some young teens fentanyl is their first drug of use, not tobacco, not alcohol, not marijuana, but fentanyl. (Seriously, I can't believe polls, they had me believing Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions of Alabama was the last of two American who believed the "gateway" theory, he and Trump), but it's here on RUclips hear them for yourself: ruclips.net/video/NTxsan3s8Aw/видео.html I know at the addiction treatment program I go to, (been off everything 18 years, alcohol 22) a lot of the very young ones coming in now used the harder drugs, cocaine, crack, heroin, synthetic opioids, or methamphetamine as their first drug experience, since we legalized medical marijuana in 2000 (so became medically available to buy a couple years later probably), legalized recreational in 2012 which went on sale in 2014. So I don't know why the difference, maybe sellers of diverted marijuana just charge more than a kid can afford, I have heard that they can get harder drugs cheaper than marijuana now, not sure if that is why, but really no kids were dying off of marijuana, this fentanyl carfentanil (opioid for elephant surgery) it's killing a lot of Americans, more than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars combined in just a couple years in the U.S. alone. That statistic is not including all of the deaths from fentanyl and it's analogues in Canada, Europe, and the UK. Many of those places do not have legalized marijuana so that smug drug interdiction spokesman from China in the interview saying legalization is creating the market could help solve this problem by just admitting that at least some of it is coming from China, no one is saying all of it. It doesn't matter really where it's coming from, helping people so they don't see drugs as a choice in the first place is a good place to start. I think you have to fight poverty to do that too.

It is a nightmare horror that these types of drugs are everywhere and your exactly right most of the addiction comes from prescribed drugs originally
so the reason for mass fetanyl addiction starts from being prescribed it from medical doctors??
maybe dont get hooked and take responsibility for your actions the both of you? druggies are alaways the same, everyone else's fault except yours lol
@@Azuria969 oh here we go.. always big talk from someone who doesn't have a clue.
Maybe I DID take responsibility genius, which is why I ended up getting clean by myself at home without help from anybody, without any support and without any assistance from doctors.
You wouldn't begin to have a clue what it's like or what it takes to suffer through something like that, so gtfoh with your judgemental BS nonsense.
"It's not just China it's coming from it comes from other places to" over 85% comes from China that's the majority by far and when then he tries to say smoking weed is leading to a demand of "fentanyl like subtances"
Cope Druggie
bring back Old school Oxys
If they never changed the oxys the heroin and fentanyl problem would be tiny and mostly in city's. Not to mention oxys barley killed anyone back in the day compared to what we see now
Heroin isn't much of a problem unless it's tainted.
Any tainted drug is a problem.
Some people in Colorado died from tainted weed, recently.
It's just the nature of street drugs. You have to legalize.
@@AV-uv9kx exactly
Maggie P Youre wrong. The danger of heroin isn’t getting “tainted” stuff. The danger is getting heroin that is too pure.
That's what started the problem to begin with, moron
And yet us chronic pain patients have lost our life-saving medication due to blaming us and our doctors for OD's F it just let anyone do what they will to their own bodies
Pain meds are by no means life saving and no matter how you look at it, long term pain medication will lead to addiction. The doctors are just legal drug dealers at that point. Taking opiates for a long amount of time is never good even in “safe” dosages.
“It’s important to see where the package comes from” says it comes from China..., well everything comes from China
Lol
1:52 The dog's eyes are literally popping out of his head, looks like he's been sniffing too many drugs
This fentanyl problem is because of the war on drugs, not in spite of it. I’m not advocating for the use of anything, but part of the reason you see this problem is that safer drugs have been criminalized. There’s a demand for this effect and being very powerful, cheap, and fully synthetic means that fentanyl is an easy sell for dealers.
1:52 did anyone else wink back?
lovely dog, Malinois?
That dog looks like it on crack
i dont think is Malinois but have no sure.
Haha right after they announce his scorecard, too. He's like "yup".

Thank you. Killed my son last year. 💔 I cry all the time
I’ve been smoking weed for 7 years almost now, have I thought of doing fent? No. Have I thought of doing it if I had the chance? No.
Yes
yea but you might do coke or crystal and not know it has fentanyl in it. most weed smokers have done other drugs also you can smoke a laced blunt by accident.
Do i wanna die? Nope
@@tonycruise this!! My friend died from smoking a laced blunt,, please stay away from all the plugs and grow your own freaking weed!

What a suprise the rich chinese pharmaceuticals don't get in trouble for providing dangerous narcotics
China has the strictest laws on drug trafficking, even selling cannabis could sentence to death
Nelson dr death is an overstatement but a few years probably
Depends on the quantity
Exactly the same as every other pharmaceutical company world wide.
@@nelsonk1341 the death penalty for drugs in China is usually reserved for dealers and super large quantities.
Why is ANYTHING ALLOWED HERE FROM CHINA,GET A CLUE,,,CUZ THEY ALLOW IT ,PATHETIC....🤔🧐
Seems to me that the demand by US users for the drug will create a supplier, so you need to take a look at why such demand exists and try and sort that out rather than blaming the supplier.
No demand, and suppliers will disappear. Just a thought.
A lot of these Fentanyl analogues have not been clinically tested, & don’t do much in regard to producing a high. Those that do, only last a very short time & require constant re-dosing in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms. the drug is so powerful that the tolerance of the user quickly skyrockets, requiring toxic amounts to keep the user well. It is an absolute dead end road.
Very true… way too powerful. People can maintain a moderate-low heroine addiction for years and still be somewhat functional in every day life. After months of juts weeks of fentanyl use and they are more strung out than ever and lose everything most the time
Atleast Heroin and Oxys were “enjoyable” when I used to use. Fet isn’t a good feeling at all, just feel sick and like you want to die.
China allows the product to be produced, delivered to any neighbourhood at $3000 per Kilo. And do they like certain Neighbourhoods in Canada, especaily where Native folk live, along with Europeans who share the area with a high level of Chinese folk. The US , a clear target also. For the Chinese, this is just a horrific game Geopolitics and genocide. Some see it clearly. They should know we know what they are doing.
You're 100% right. Not being from the west myself, I happened to have a meeting with one Chinese CEO of a company that is manufacturing hardware for THC consumption. Once he got a bit drunk he said that the only reaskne they are producing it is to poison the young generator the people in the western countries. I'm not saying that cannabis is bad, the point is that their objective is 100% how you described it. In this regards it's awful to see western corps funding china.
2:08 is the sentence everyone needs to hear to actually understand the situation in terms of the US drug trade. It's why a wall won't work and why drug addiction needs to be taken on seriously as a public health problem.
Portugal has had a good drug program for 15 years now, made drug use a medical issue rather than just a legal issue. We need to do that here!
@@Mrariesdave I think implementing a similar policy nationally and then matching the terms in Washington D.C. would make for a good trial in one location (since states will still have their own drug laws).
@@kris6456 WTH is taking this country so long to implement something like this? Switzerland medically dispenses pharmaceutical heroin and the studies show that addicts naturally outgrow it and want to reduce their intake; methadone is extremely ineffective, resulting in methadone addicts...Seems to me to be an arrogant flaw intrinsic to the USA to assume we are the best at everything in situations and cases where it is obvious that we are not.
RIP Lil Peep
A guy at my job just lost his 17 year old son on a Fentanyl overdose.
And here we are five years later, this issue is still as bad if not worse. Nothing is being done about it. It's one of the leading causes of death in the US.
Yeah it’s even worse today
Actually it isn't. www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm
How do you find drugs?

Right those dogs don’t do shit if you watch those cops shows it’s painfully obvious that they just let lie and say the dog altered on something
Hi. Don’t usually comment but just thought I’d clear up a misconception about legalizing fentanyl. I’m for the decriminalization of most drugs, but it is impossible to “regulate” fentanyl as it often kills at first use. It’d be like legalizing poisoned food.
@@benjaminjacklin677 Hi Ben. I appreciate your comment. The only issue I see with this is that firms in the market would still have an incentive to drive down costs by cutting products with fentantyl that they would now be able to *legally* access. Fentanyl has plenty of legitimate medical uses, and allowing for even users to have access to such a potent drug is a dangerous game. Put together, producers would now be able to access fentanyl with great ease. This point is especially important when you consider fentanyl's ability to kill-by-touch. Its the only drug that I believe is an exception to the logic of decriminalization/legalization.
stupidest thing io ever heard
Benjamin Jacklin spot on man....well said. It’s a perspective on drug use that most will never consider
@@michael_stefanko "kill by touch" ur such a smoothbrain. Tell me: If Absorption through the skin Was a viable Form of taking a drug (excluding things like fenty patches),wouldnt people be doing it?
The same people will do this horrible drug wether it’s legal or illegal, I know if they legalize it tomorrow I wouldn’t start doing it would you?? Unfortunately it will never stop, almost a half a trillion dollar industry every year on the drug trade!! As long as there’s demand there will be someone supplying it!! You could slow it down by quite a bit but our government would have to be ruthless like the cartels are!! Kill them as fast as they pop up, but our corrupt politicians will never let that happen because many of them got filthy rich of the drug trade!!☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I love how the last person, that was interviewed, evaded the question and talked about something else. Or in other words, they only seize only a tiny amount
Smokes weed once:
"Aye bruh im just gonna order some fentanyl real quick"
In Canada I asked my post office about ordering the newer wildlife cams from either the USA or Hong Kong/China. She told me that a US order was almost guaranteed to be inspected, duties and taxes to be paid. China?? It ALL goes through. UH, ok, I now know how Fentanyl gets into Canada.
Did this man really just say weed leads to fentanyl 💀💀💀💀
Thank you so much for making it harder to get pain meds. Appreciate it. /s
I know! The doctor won't prescribe them.
@@razedWrong nope!
Blaming the medical drug for being abused is like blaming a kitchen knife being used as a weapon
Because they dont want to accept self responsibility and accountability.
If these drugs are medically prescribed as pain killer but has addictive effect, then why not prescribed other pain killers?
@@dianaverano7878菜刀生產商能控制歹徒不去使用菜刀去劫持好人？

Legalize heroin.

Decriminalize it
Legalize weed not that shit

Why don't you be mature. Those comments are for the twerking compilation
I know right!? 👍
Timothy Montgomery disagree bc he just did it
The lesson of this video is to not buy drugs from overseas, only buy domestic.
He said it's not fair to blame the fentanyl problem on one country .
Sept the director of customs said all they seize only comes from China...
Chinese suppliers only provide raw materials that can be used to synthesize any drug. You have to blame Mexico and the American pharmaceutical companies that purchase these drugs, not China

Holy crap they gave me fentanyl during my surgery and man that shit kicks ass. . I was feeling good . But kinda sucks now I can’t say I never did it before . I don’t know how they gave me but it worked
That comment about multiple US states following the trend of legalizing the use of marijuana was to blame for the increased flow of fentanyl into the US, was pretty bold to say the least. How does legalizing marijuana use, using USA grown and lab tested marijuana, affect illegal importing of fentanyl in any way?
A million packages a day. 10 fentanyl seizures in a month by the "trained" dogs. Tells you how much is probably getting through.
War on drugs = failure
I need a eighth of weed ..... two weeks later . Order a kilo a fetanyl
Rip peep
hope ur kids get carfentanil laced drugs one day
Could that Chinese guy been more of a robot?
Stereotypes take away your brain.
Love how his argument is "They're legalizing marijuana, that's why we're shipping fentanyl to them." 🤦♂️
If there is a demand for something it will be sold.
It all starts in the mind. If you have an addictive personality, you will more than likely end up an alcoholic/drug addict. Its all in your mind 🤯
The Chinese guy's idea about states with legalized weed and Fentanyl abuse is ludicrous. If the states were legalizing heroin, then I would agree. But weed and Fentanyl are on opposite end of the spectrum.
Come to the west coast. All drugs are legal in Seattle and Portland. You can get arrested for drinking a beer in the park but if you are laying there with a needle hanging out of your arm they will give you narcan and a cup of coffee.
1:52 the best boy ❤️
at exactly 5:14 look at the sign on the fence. The interdiction of Cuban cigars is definitely a great use of customs resources.
Wow hey that’s nice brotha. I was a heroin addict for years, I can tell you there has NEVER been a shortage of Fentanyl in NY, in fact, there’s such an oversupply you can get 20 bags for $100 now, those deals were never available for that few bags before.
LMFAO 0:31 THAT STARE
80+ in a year??? wow...thats so bad....i order my "medication" "online" every week and not a single one has been stoped
The war on drugs is directly responsible for this problem.
You mean, "The War For Drugs, and Oil"
So the dogs would habe to be inhaling it to smell it, and since it takes so little wouldn't they he at risk?
The way the Chinese "DEA" deflect the question indicates he is covering something.
Although I have never tried it I can only imagine it is quite the dragon. This is some rough stuff. Stay strong everyone and resist this temptation/test of your willpower.
yeah. we have to make good choices eg not smoking, don't spend months playing computer games, don't do too many painkillers
anna oetker No... Fentanyl is one of the least euphoric opioids. It's potent, but it doesn't last long or feel particularly good compared to other opioids.
Heroin is way more euphoric than fent
Fentanyl is garbage. I've had to have it during a spur of the moment procedure while in the hospital and it only takes 1mg of dilaudid for my pain (I'm small and don't use recreationally) but the fentanyl did next to nothing for me with regard to easing pain. Plus, I ended up throwing up and I never have that issue. It slightly puts you at ease but on the spectrum of pain therapy, it's incredibly low. Fentanyl is being laced into heroin as a cheap way to make it go further with regard to weight/volume. I think it's dumb to use any of that shit recreationally except maybe a pill here or there when you feel like total ass (unfortunately it seems many today can't seem to handle HERE OR THERE, Thank you for ruining it for the rest of us by the way yah fucking morons), but fentanyl in particular, if someone is specifically seeking it out to use, that's just asinine.
0:33 dude looks like he on that fentanyl😂
Hes definitely pinned 😂👍
My little brother just died 3 weeks ago of a fentynal overdose, he was living homeless in San Francisco, this needs to stop, no one forced my brother to abuse fentynol, but finally knowing how this is getting into America makes me cry
If a grain size of pure fentanyl is so deadly is scary
If China is supplying, then why aren't we doing something about China?
Oh just cut open the packages and tape them back up, police do that anyways.
Gavin Helgeson they have to look professional on TV
Gavin Helgeson and they take a sniff to check purity.
where’s my fentanyl plug at? 😍
Dead where they should be!
MADE IN CHINA
The only way to stop cartels and the chinese is to legalize it. Short of doing that you're fighting a losing battle.
What happens if they start shipping this randomly to US citizens just because? Perhaps as a misdirection from other parts of the US or just malice?
Ooooh Sneaky Sneaky China ...
No, more like the sneaky sneaky drug lords of the US
kind of sneaky like a pearl harbour we can be a little sneaky sometimes
The Chinese want the world 🌎 to be made in China 🇨🇳 small eyes big goals ☯️
It's only legal if you are a "legal" drug dealer (pharmaceutical company) and pay your cut to Uncle Sam.
My question is why not destroy what is seized instead of keeping it for testing when you know what it is?
Legalize heroin and give users a safe place to buy and use. Take the money out of the cartel. If they are going to get the drugs anyway at least do a civil service and regulate it.
facts
That pup has such a sweet face.
The ( $ilent ) nuclear bomb
Simple. Because law enforcement spends so much time,energy and money on the prohibition of marijuana.
In this Canadian documentary, about just another North American town, just like the thousands of others that started with an opioid epidemic where first people got their drugs from doctors, then when that route was cut off switched to heroin, then when the cartels realized they could make fentanyl in the same labs they made crystal meth (chinese aren't the only ones bringing fentanyl into U.S.). But that comment from the Chinese drug interdiction spokesman, that many states legalizing marijuana is creating the demand for fentanyl is without any merit at all. I was astounded to see in the comments below that as many people who comment here still think marijuana is a gateway drug. You just can't believe polls anymore.
But in this CTV documentary done with W5 and VICE Canada's combined resources, first responders, hospital workers, harm reduction specialists, social workers, and survivors of addiction discuss that right now in their little city of Sault Ste. Marie, for some young teens fentanyl is their first drug of use, not tobacco, not alcohol, not marijuana, but fentanyl. (Seriously, I can't believe polls, they had me believing Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions of Alabama was the last of two American who believed the "gateway" theory, he and Trump), but it's here on RUclips hear them for yourself: ruclips.net/video/NTxsan3s8Aw/видео.html
I know at the addiction treatment program I go to, (been off everything 18 years, alcohol 22) a lot of the very young ones coming in now used the harder drugs, cocaine, crack, heroin, synthetic opioids, or methamphetamine as their first drug experience, since we legalized medical marijuana in 2000 (so became medically available to buy a couple years later probably), legalized recreational in 2012 which went on sale in 2014. So I don't know why the difference, maybe sellers of diverted marijuana just charge more than a kid can afford, I have heard that they can get harder drugs cheaper than marijuana now, not sure if that is why, but really no kids were dying off of marijuana, this fentanyl carfentanil (opioid for elephant surgery) it's killing a lot of Americans, more than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars combined in just a couple years in the U.S. alone. That statistic is not including all of the deaths from fentanyl and it's analogues in Canada, Europe, and the UK. Many of those places do not have legalized marijuana so that smug drug interdiction spokesman from China in the interview saying legalization is creating the market could help solve this problem by just admitting that at least some of it is coming from China, no one is saying all of it. It doesn't matter really where it's coming from, helping people so they don't see drugs as a choice in the first place is a good place to start. I think you have to fight poverty to do that too.
