    I didn’t read, but is it the nitazene compounds? Shits terrifying and doesn’t respond to narcan. Around this time last year in West Virginia our state police made a bust of like 30,000 pills that had magazine compounds in them that were disguised as Oxycontin pills.

  2. Iron law of prohibition: the harder the law enforcement push, the harder the drugs. In Bolivian the legal coca leaf is chewed and has been for millennia. In London cocaine powder is snorted. During alcohol prohibition in the US, hard liquor consumption overtook beer and wine because it’s easier to smuggle the hard stuff.
