Cops Hospitalized After Exposure To Unknown Substance At Strip Club

HCD. You hurt my feelings. I'm watching Wimbledon right now. I'll get back to you in a bit. What a nasty, unpleasant person you are.

@Mrs10 There are plenty whiners in our generation. There are also plenty hard working millennials with multiple part time jobs at below-living wage and no healthcare. No one that works 2 part time or 1 full-time job should have to worry about paying bills or having healthcare. Boomer generation grew up with one full time parent and were able to afford groceries, bills, and buy a house.

And the ones largely deciding the cost of all of that today are Boomers.

@LEO0301 Link your source, and hopefully it has percentages showing where the vast majority of fentanyl is coming from, you fucking clown.

DieselDawg said: Fentanyl reportedly is pouring across our southern border from laboratories run by the cartels in Mexico. It is so powerful that it can be toxic just to touch it. This boils down to chemical warfare on the USA from Mexico but we cant secure the border because that would be "racist".

@DieselDawg - you're right and dipshit is wrong again. Here is a quote I pulled from a reputable news source. "The United States is in the midst of an opioid overdose epidemic. In 2015, there were 52,404 drug overdose deaths, and more than 33,000 of them were caused by opioids — prescription painkillers like OxyContin as well as illegal opioids like heroin and fentanyl. Many of those opioids are coming into the United States from other countries, primarily Mexico and China."

@wmc50 And now I'll insult you. Do you see how when you and others ask me a question, I'll respond in kind? Mrs10 and i can go back and forth all day and not insult each other once. You asked a good question, i answer it, and we have a dialogue.

But you had the audacity to insult me and we've never had words before? Shut the fuck up, clown.

Now if you'd like to continue civil discussion, I'm all for it. But if you'd like us to resort to namecalling which justifies you calling me a troll, I'm all for that too. Your move.

@wmc50

@ragnarok1943 handled it very well just above you, but here are a couple articles about where our import comes from. http://www.news-herald.com/general-news/20170207/where-does-fentanyl-come-from-china-is-primary-source-in-us-and-much-is-ending-up-in-ohio

Where does fentanyl come from? China is primary source in U.S., and much is ending up in Ohio

Fentanyl claimed the lives of 75 Ohioans in 2012, but by 2015 that number jumped to a staggering 1,155.

And no one is sharing this information with me, i go out and find it. I use multiple sources and take what seems to be the consensus facts from all articles. I take it upon myself to research so i can pass it on to younger folks and let them draw their own conclusions once they do a little research themselves.

@Mrs10 I am all for responsible use of pain meds. I always say 'opioid abuse' vice 'opioid use ' for that reason. But coming down on doctors and pharmacies is akin to coming down on corner boys or street hustlers; those guys aren't the ones allowed to bring drugs in by the boatload.

Effective war on opioid abuse would be holding pharmaceutical companies legally and financially responsible, but I'm sure they donate heavily to government reps that continue to let them thrive.

Hi_estComnDenomn said: @DieselDawg Spouting more bullshit i see. Fentanyl is largely shipped from China, not Mexico.

HCD...would you kindly share the sources of your information regarding the inflows if these very dangerous drugs to our shores. You seem to have your pulse on all manner of illicit issues. Pray tell, who is sharing this information with you?

Anyone notice if Stormy Davis was in the area?

The problem with fentanyl, of course, is that it is a synthetic opioid which is made in a lab, including converted pigsties in China where most of the illegal fentanyl comes from. Since it's dirt cheap and super powerful it is mixed with real heroin (made from poppies). Unlike pure fentanyl made in real labs, the Chinese fentanyl is liable to be made with just about anything and in various strengths. And, of course, it is not always uniformly mixed by local drug dealers and some has more fentanyl than is safe. That's why they have these overdoses. Anyway, even if you somehow shut off fentanyl from China, other Countries or people right here in the US are bound to make it. Probably they already do. The guy who invented fentanyl in 1960 was Paul Janssen in Belgium. He also invented carfentanil, a similar synthetic opioid, as an elephant tranquilizer, which is about 100 times stronger that fentanyl. That can also, and has been, made in a pigsty. Jenssen, a genius, also invented haloperidol (trademarked as Haldol) in 1958. It was the second big anti-psychotic invented after Thorazine in 1950. Not surprisingly, hardly anyone abuses Haldol, or even wants to take it as it doesn't make them high and turns them into a passive zombie. Schizophrenics and psychotics get high and out of control by not taking their meds. Hospital emergency departments often use a B-52 shot (5mg Haldol + 2mg Ativan, a tranquilizer) to subdue out of control patients.
