Border bust leads to exposure of botched battle in the War on Drugs
Operation Fast and…Fentanyl?
Drug Enforcement Agency Special Agent Ron Bozo apologizes to the American people at a San Diego press conference last Thursday: “P.T. Barnum once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. But it seems we may have broken the American people by underestimating their insatiable desire for drugs at any cost.”
A recent seizure of 238 pounds of fentanyl-laced drugs at the San Ysidro border checkpoint produced an unexpected bit of paperwork: documents suggesting that the epidemic, which claims more and more lives every month in the United States, may be the result of a well-meaning ploy by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency to reduce demand for drugs by making them exponentially more dangerous. “We’re still trying to get answers,” says drug-use advocate Bill Popper, “but it’s starting to look like the idea was that if people know their drugs might kill them after a single use — you know, the way cocaine laced with Fentanyl might do — then they would think twice before using them. Unfortunately, this is what comes of having people making policy about cocaine who don’t have much first-hand experience with cocaine.” More on this story as it develops!
