...I'm like 90% sure my grandmother had a fentanyl patch to deal with the pain of her cancer. Guess doctors just hand out weapons of mass destruction... Interesting.
yeah before my friend died from neglect (thanks america, let a thousand luigis boom) he was on so much fent, he had fentanyl lollypops and patches and shit.
that was before it became so widely distributed on the black market. the best way to combat fent would be to let the heroin market rip again IMO.
heroin market
Send the troops back to Afghanistan, there's another type of tar we're after this time
The meme of the boomer guy with the 1984 calendar but it says 2003 instead.
Dang, can't believe the doctor prescribed my mom WMD's for her cancer pain
Or epidural during child birth
ay pass that shit homie
edit: inb4 its a pic from the anthrax scare. I'll still take it.
I believe that this is Rubio photoshopped (or maybe AI generated) to look like the famous photo of Powell lying to the UNSC about WMDs in Iraq.
Ohhh yellowcake I guess. lmao. Americans.
Might have been chemical weapons, on account of the fact that the Americans knew the Iraqi government had those at some point (don't ask how they got them or where they came from, lmao). I don't remember the exact propaganda, lol.
Nice
Deep web fentanyl dealers are about to go wild with this one. Weapons grade fent 99% pure
All I can think, other than the obvious Venezuela implications, is when fentanyl became widespread up here it was all about how china was selling the precursors.
This will be used for more than just right now
The war on drugs is used for everything except actually stopping issues related to drug addiction.
Much like every action this country takes, all I can think is how it will be used as a cudgel against outgroups
Yeah and the labs doing the synthesis were all in mexico (eyeroll)
there's this old quote in hegel... i know it's in marx, i think it's in hegel too... "once as tragedy, once as farce" 
Tragedy me once shame on you. Farce me twice, can't get farced again
fent is a big issue. It kills those who seek it out intentionally, and those not seeking it out because it's now cheaper to cut everything by with fent instead of the real fucking thing.
but all this is going to do is affect the poor, those with habits to feed daily, kids selling dime bags on the corner, and anyone who gets caught with fent and isn't white.
and it'll probably allow him to continue killing Latin Americans in boats.
I'm too stupid to think much further than that.
and it'll probably allow him to continue killing Latin Americans in boats.
This is why he's doing this, I think, despite the fact that the fent isn't coming from LatAm.
Didn't he say it was coming from China just a few months ago?
That's always been the line, but recently I believe he claimed it was coming from Venezuela.
It's actually a complex global supply chain involving every official enemy and nobody else.
This will likely be used as the basis to go beyond just attacking random boats, grounds for escalation, acts of war
I thought the whole thing about fentanyl being super-lethal was made up by cops?
I'm more talking about folks getting bags of something cut w fent, then being injected or snorted and dying. Or fake pills pressed w fent, that sorta stuff. The whole 'touch three grains of fent and drop dead instantly" is horseshit, tho.
The thing cops made up is that breathing in or touching fentanyl will kill you.
That said, it's still a very strong opioid, and very cheap. This leads to overdoses when dealers cut their product with it and lie about what it actually is, as well as when users take a similar amount of fentanyl that they would to other opioids not realizing that it's much stronger.
Not a weapon: weapons (everything from guns to cruise missiles)
The most dangerous weapon: a painkiller
Oh this is what they meant by Lethal aid
That means the Sackler Family finally gets sent to the 
right?
I've consulted my chud cousin on this very subject over thanksgiving last year and this only applies to foreign produced fentanyl not domestic
Is he gonna start invading hospitals now?
This is the 592 dimention chess play to achieve universal health care. 
Everything burns.
yes
Can’t wait for the new style of cop fent overreaction
damn thats wild i had a weapon of mass destruction injected into me by medical staff when i was in the ER last time, maybe trans people can kill god
Venezuela, Mexico, Columbia, China. Who else is going to be in the firing line with this?
