  1. At this point, I belive that anyone who starts taking it voluntarily is agreeing with natural selection.

  2. This shit is damn scary. Even if half of what i’m reading about it is true, then heroin and other hard drugs are almost a preferable option.

  3. I can’t take these hyperbolic scare stories about Fentanyl seriously after that police man in America made up that lie about having been hospitalised just by being in the same room as it.

  4. The UK Billionaire Richard Branson recently denounced Singapore for killing a drug dealer. He published several blog posts calling the Singapore death penalty barbarian :

    In response, the Singapore Government published this :

    >Just look at our region. We, Singapore – and Malaysia too – are near major heroin-producing regions, the world centres. Drugs from Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle, plentiful, they flood this region.

    >The UNODC this year published a report. They said that our region is “literally swimming in meth”, and I quote, “the scale and reach of the meth and synthetic drug trade [here] is staggering”.

    >If we are not tough in Singapore, we would be flooded with drugs. Look at the countries in the region and the impact of drugs on them. You don’t even need to guess what the result would be, if we are not tough.

    >In the Netherlands, the largest police union chief described the Netherlands as effectively a “narco-state” because of the free play of drugs. Sweden, a country that we all consider very highly and well-run, in 2019, 257 bombings due to drug-related gang violence. You see in safe, well-governed countries, that these things are happening.

    >If drugs come through in a large scale into Singapore, the number of serious crimes will go up, homicides will go up, and my view – the number of people who die as a result of drug abuse and crime will increase. This is my view based on what we see around the world, and really, not enough attention is being paid to the victims of the drug trade – the children, the families, the victims of crime.

    > Our tough policies have kept Singapore safe and relatively drug free, and lots of lives have been saved. In the 1990s, we were arresting about 6000 drug abusers per year. Now, we are arresting about half that number, about 3000, even though the population is much larger.

    (…)

    >For more than 50 years, we have been given advice that we should be more like their systems, and the Western media have been critical of Singapore. In their eyes, we do many things wrong, and what strikes them particularly hard is that we are successful despite not listening to them.

    >And you know, my approach is – look, we have ignored them, and we have prospered. Our streets are clean; our education, housing and healthcare are world class; our crime rate is low.

    >Mr Branson is entitled to his opinions. These opinions may be widely held in the UK, but we do not accept that Mr Branson or others in the West are entitled to impose their values on other societies. Nor do we believe that a country that prosecuted two wars in China in the 19th century to force the Chinese to accept opium imports has any moral right to lecture Asians on drugs.

    >Our policies on drugs and the death penalty derive from our own experience.

    >Nothing we have seen in the UK or in the West persuades us that adopting a permissive attitude towards drugs and a tolerant position on drug trafficking will increase human happiness. Where drug addiction is concerned, things have steadily worsened in the UK, while things have steadily improved in Singapore.

  5. I’ve seen interview with fentanyl dealer and what was the most fucked up is that he explained when you get new batch you pretty much WANT someone to OD to signal all the junkies that you have that “good” stuff. It’s like an advert for them at this point.

  6. I’ve talked with people here in Europe who think the cartels won’t allow Fentanyl into European drugs & the dealers here won’t cut with it.

    I think they are incredibly naive.

  7. That shit was the only drug which landed me in the hospital yet, it’s crazy strong. Can’t even compare to buprenorphine, it’s stronger by magnitudes.

  8. Chinas pay back for the opium wars, destroying the west bit by bit
