Some anti drug types/groups, could like this scare out there to combat the "epidemic"....
I could see how it wouldn't bother certain people and groups of people, if there was something out there to try scare people into not using something... a scare tactic if you will... these same people think along the lines of, after all its just another dead addict. Because anyone out there that dies from these were not getting them from legitimate sources. And if this can scare others into not going that route then its not all bad they might think...
Disclaimer: That's just made up conspiracy theories by me and to my knowledge there is in no way a scare tactic being perpetrated by any of the government agencies (or anyone for that matter) for what ever reason...
This is not good in anyway no matter how the victims came into possession of them.. this is the kind of stuff that could be prevented by legalization or other means... surely not an unwinnable war on the citizens of this country
My heart goes out to the victims and their families
And as to the blister packs they could be easily countrefitted, but will people be willing to do that, probably so but to what degree. But it could possibly in some way decrease the number of illegal pills on the street and in turn the number of fent pills out there..... good or bad thing that is for you to decide. But we can all agree people dieing isn't good but is blisters the answer, there is probably other ways to achieve the same results (if you would even see results from blisters).
I have saw fake alprazolam (Xanax) in blister packs my friend had got... we're they fake I can not be 100% certain as I did not have them tested but they did not work at all...
