The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has sent out an advisory to the public regarding the opioid crisis, specifically warning of the presence of brightly-colored fentanyl pills in general circulation. The presence of highly addictive “rainbow fentanyl” is a trend which potentially targets young people.
I’ve known of fentanyl my entire medical career. My professional experience with it involved use during general anesthesia on patients undergoing surgery and epidurals during labor. It has also been used in combat casualties and cancer patients in the form of “lollipops” for pain relief and sedation.
First synthesized in 1960, it gained approval for medical use in 1968 and achieved widespread acceptance. By 2017, fentanyl was the most frequently-used synthetic opioid in medicine. Two years later, more than one million prescriptions for it were being written annually. In 2021, fentanyl accounted for more than 71,000 opioid overdose deaths in the United States. The vast majority of recent cases are linked to illicitly manufactured fentanyl originating, it’s thought, in Mexico.
The Department of Justice reports the seizure of more than 10.2 million fentanyl pills and approximately 980 pounds of fentanyl powder in the period from May 23 through Sept. 8, 2022. MORE HERE
Open borders….. meh!

The misinformation campaign against Ivermectin has killed more people than Fentanyl.
Take note of the fact that the non-elected governor of NY Kickback Kathy-Karen aka CUOMO 2.0 Hochul is advocating the use of trafficked fentanyl, heroi, and all other opiates (plus meth, cocaine, crack, ecstasy et al) as ‘EMPOWERING’ including her deliberate permissiveness for open-air illegal drug use. That this vile and vicious reprobate has circulated poster ads stating all as ‘EMPOWERING’ with a photo of a brown-black woman is extremely telling of her schemes against humanity.
