How can it be greed when user dyes...? No more funds from that user. Or any of the others.Whether it is greed or warfare who knows, though it is surely the former.
Known about this for quite some time.Look up the "Opium Wars"
Quite a bit of political shenanigans is simply looking the other way in selected areas. I'm sure China knows Fent is hurting us, but I doubt they are "plotting" anything. No need for cigar smoke in back rooms.In a way it could be thought of as chemical warfare.
Fentanyl mainly kills young american men, military age or those who might otherwise participate in the economy. Most of the raw fentanyl comes from China, as do the precursors. China hasn't made meaningful efforts to stop it. Whether it is greed or warfare who knows, though it is surely the former.
The funny thing is that the British did the same thing to the Chinese many years ago. Look up the "Opium Wars" between the British and Chinese, in the mid 1800s. The British got China hooked on opium.
Those three replacements will dwindle to zilch eventually.as for every one that drops there'll be three more lining up shortly
Frustrated that people continued to consume so much alcohol even after it was banned, federal officials had decided to try a different kind of enforcement. They ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols manufactured in the United States, products regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits. The idea was to scare people into giving up illicit drinking. Instead, by the time Prohibition ended in 1933, the federal poisoning program, by some estimates, had killed at least 10,000 people.
Although mostly forgotten today, the “chemist’s war of Prohibition” remains one of the strangest and most deadly decisions in American law-enforcement history. As one of its most outspoken opponents, Charles Norris, the chief medical examiner of New York City during the 1920s, liked to say, it was “our national experiment in extermination.”
wtf is this about
Industrial alcohol is still poisoned. They call it "denatured". Most common additive is Methyl alcohol. When you hear of people going blind from bad booze, it's usually Methyl alcohol. I don't think it's purposely to poison people, they just don't give a shit if it does.Related

The little-told story of how the U.S. government poisoned alcohol during Prohibition.
It was Christmas Eve 1926, the streets aglitter with snow and lights, when the man afraid of Santa Claus stumbled into the emergency room at New York...slate.com
I don't think that there's any sort of conspiracy behind any of this current deal, though, I think it's pretty much just greed as others have said.
However, this notion put out in the media of, this product is so incredibly and unreasonably deadly that you'd have real difficulty even creating a single recreational dose out of it...that is something that's difficult to explain rationally on a "common sense" level I think, for the reasons already mentioned, and I don't think that "oh there will just be a bunch more people lining up for a shot at this ultra lethal drug!" Where are they gonna be lining up, at Dr Kevorkian's office?
