The new concoction “tranq” Or some such is really creating the zombies!
Well, at this point, let them sort themselves out. War on drugs is lost. Probably never should have started it in the first place.
Watch Ken Burns series “Prohibition” as it is enlightening. And exactly how the left will destroy the 2a. Do gooders are true evil!

Yes, fentanyl alone is pretty bad(EXTREMELY fckn potent opioid). But tranq is absolutely awful.
Its fentanyl cut down with xylazine(a horse anaesthetic- potent analogue of the popular blood pressure medication Clonidine). It makes overdoses very difficult to deal with, along with making the withdrawals much more complex to handle and longer lasting when the person comes off the shit. And Im sure everyone has seen the flesh rotting off of people. (BY NO MEANS AM I A MEDICAL EXPERT!) - But my understanding of the situation is that due to the xylazine in the concoction(remember I said its an analogue of clonidine?), said xylazine reduces blood pressure/flow. So people are sitting there injecting over and over multiple times a day(with dull ass worn out needles), and these injection sites never get a chance to heal due to the reduced blood flow, their track marks quickly turn into giant open unhealed wounds, get infected, etc.
As far as fentanyl being "easy to make", I have to disagree. Its a quite difficult synthesis.
When it comes to the chemistry, I've heard it described as such:
Diacetylmorphine Hydrochloride(Heroin) is like a 2/10 in difficulty to produce from opium sap when one has the necessary acetic anhydride, hydrochloric acid, etc...
Meth is like ~5-6/10 in difficulty to synthesize.
Fentanyl is going to be like a ~7-8/10 in difficulty.
And LSD will be like 10/10.
But the profit margin one gets on the yield from synth'ing said fent vs good ol fashion heroin makes it more than worth it for cartels to pay Chinese chemists to come and train their cooks how to do it for 3-4 months.
Early on, they had no clue what they were doing. The rumor is that Los Chapitos actually snatched dozens of heroin addicts off the streets of Tijuana to test and dial in the purity of their fentanyl when they were first starting off with it... like 80% of them died... and overdoses are still tarded high because fent is tard strength regardless, and while one "dirty thirty" as they're called(the fake oxycodone 30mg that cartels press with fentanyl) is dosed right for someone who already has a ridiculous tolerance, its 3-4x too much for someone who thinks they're just doing 30mg of oxycodone...
