Ikr. He doesn’t like rules. The rules committee put forth a package that limited the number of people that could actually access data and , a warrant must be obtained for any American. And if the request is leaving data out or adding false info to get the warrant or punishment as well as up to jail time. The FBI put forth back with other rules that opened it back up to the same crap they are doing now.

[@colinc3946]

How to stop the fentenyl problem? What about US demand?? No demand, no supply. We love to blame others -- and they are to blame -- China, Mexico, Cartels, etc -- but the core issue is US demand. No demand, no supply. WE -- US users -- are the core problem. US drug companies hooked millions. The alienation of US life causes millions more to seek escape through drugs. Let's look at ourselves first......

[@jasonzwack8342]

I agree with everything you just said. Just one correction about the US being the demand and whoever being the supply.. we are the supply. Here are some facts I put the important parts in caps. I just coppied and pasted these these are not my views .. but in the () is what I think they are doing to obscure the reporting to the public so we all think there is a crisis. 1,2 and 3 are facts they are trying to cover up by omission or by creating outrage at 4,5 and 6 1 Fentanyl was first developed in 1959 and introduced in the 1960s as an intravenous anesthetic. It is LEGALLY MANUFACTURED and DISTRIBUTED in the United States. 2 Every day about 60,000 people nationwide have surgery under general anesthesia. It's a combination of drugs that's made surgery more bearable for patients and doctors alike. General anesthesia dampens pain, knocks you unconscious and keeps you from moving during the operation. 3 propofol-fentanyl combinations produce rapid, pleasant and safe anesthesia 4 There are two types of fentanyl: pharmaceutical fentanyl and illegally made fentanyl. Both are considered synthetic opioids. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed by doctors to treat severe pain, especially after surgery and for advanced-stage cancer. ( They are saying that the illegally made fentanyl is from mexico and china. The "both are considered synthetic opioids" part means the are chemically indistinguishable from each other. Because they say the illegal stuff is comming from mexico So All fentynal is illegal in the US anyone who dosent have a perscription can get charged with "trafficking" instead of "possession of a controlled substance" all to beef up the arrest #'s 5 What is fentanyl used for? Fentanyl is used to treat acute (short term), severe pain caused by major trauma or surgery, as well as for chronic pain caused by cancer. How long you need to take fentanyl for will depend on why it has been prescribed. (they are using the death of TERMINAL cancer patients with a legal script for fentanyl in the fatal over dose statistics to beef up the numbers) 6 Data from previous years also indicates the significant role U.S. citizens play in fentanyl smuggling. In 2021, 86 percent of fentanyl trafficking convictions were for U.S. citizens. (so 14 % werent, dosent mean they are illegal migrants form the last couple years either. the real % is more like 99

[@pinkyhotmessx69]

They started this with the opioid phobia. They refused to treat us chronic pain patients and many are going to the streets. I think the cartel seen a huge market from us chronic pain patients who were safely treated in pain management. Since they started their whole opioid conspiracy overdoses went up by 10k. How is that when they ripped like 25% of pain patients off their meds? They created a black market. Medical insurance helped do it by giving Drs money to rip pain meds away from pretty much everyone. Then big pharma found a bigger market in rehab drugs that are far more dangerous and still left pain patients untreated. People think the problem is prescription pain meds and it's not. It's always been heroine and illegal drugs. They spread their propaganda and people bought it. Many times refusing pain meds on behalf of family members because they think they will be addicts. That has nothing to do with addiction. Addiction is a mental illness. The CDC, DEA , DoJ , Pharma and the INS companies did this and created a black market for pain meds. They're so disgusting
