I seriously doubt that the amount of fentanyl “flowing” across our borders exceeds the demand. We must definitely have thousands of militarized thugs “defending” our borders, but nobody seems to want to address the absolute misery that fuels the demand. Right now, for millions, the US is just a horrible place to live.

Two points here ;

- He likes criminals
- He has never been consistent

"There's a lot of mixed messages and mixed signals [from the White House] which creates sort of chaos and uncertainty," said Jeffrey Singer, a drug policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank. "On the one hand you're threatening even tougher penalties on people who deal in drugs, while on the other hand you're releasing drug dealers from prisons."

#Trump #pardons #DrugKingpins even as he escalates #US #DrugWar rhetoric

Trump has long called for escalating the US drug war against Mexican #cartels & wants tougher penalties for dealers selling #fentanyl & other street #drugs in American communities. "I am ready for it, the death penalty, if you deal drugs," Trump said during a meeting with state governors in Feb, where he said dealers are too often treated with a "slap on the wrist."

I was talking with my son Tom about the danger of potential contamination of drugs with opiates and he mentioned Carfentanil as something that might not be treatable by naloxone/Narcan. That didn't make sense to me given how these drugs act on the body and how Narcan blocks that action, so I looked it up.

Carfentanil is an analog of Fentanyl and is treatable with Narcan. You can read more about it here: vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploa
