How China's fentanyl became the 'most deadly drugs crisis' on US streets

Fentanyl kills 200 people a day in America, a deadly epidemic felt throughout the country. We trace the journey of chemicals from China, to the drug labs of Mexico to the streets of the United States. Can the tide be stemmed?

    Have a look at Rat Park a study by Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander in 1978. This study shows the role of the environment and social interaction on addictive behavior. It went a long way to debunking the chemical anchor theory of addiction. In the study rats were given The key discovery from the Rat Park experiment was that healthy social interaction significantly affected addiction. Rats were given a choice between regular water and morphine laced water. When in an unhealthy environment without social interaction the rats opted for the morphine laced water. When placed in Rat Park with a fun environment to explore and with other rats to interact with and properly socialize with, the rats stopped drinking the morphine laced water and overwhelmingly opted just for regular water. The findings showed that Rats in a supportive community were less likely to choose the morphine-laced water. This strongly refuted the chemical anchor theory of addiction.

    Not exactly. These are usually restricted substances because although they can have legitimate uses they also have dangerous uses. This happens with other things in other countries too (eg dynamite can be used in mining but also in crime). Normally you need proof of legitimate purpose, to track the use of etc. The problem is China just allows these chemicals to be easily sold to what it views as enemy states. If you are familiar with the Chinese idea of unrestricted warfare (超限戰) you will know and understand that this is how the CCP government is operating now. The DPRK is even worse in this respect but has less power/exports to be able to do this.

    It’s getting everywhere & after 17 in the pharmacy dispensary have seen how hard it is to get a legitimate prescription for this end of life pain relief. It’s only on the streets because of unlicensed labs making Molotov mixes to further depopulate our world. Atrocities everywhere we look 👀 pray 🙏 for us in unity & for times the tables changing. ❤💙🙏🌏🌍🌎💫

The US also said the Chinese garlics, microwave, TV are spying on Americans too.

    The solution is simple: decriminalization if not outright legalization, along with sensible regulation and providing adequate services like treatment on demand.
