Majority of deaths are caused by fentanyl produced in foreign countries and shipped into the US to be cut into low quality drugs. So sanctioning those countries

Majority of deaths are caused by fentanyl produced in foreign countries and shipped into the US to be cut into low quality drugs. So sanctioning those countries would be a good first step The initial addiction though is due to doctor's and drug companies. There's plenty of evidence of drug companies pushing doctors to prescribe these drugs when they really aren't needed. Fine the companies, arrest the doctors and executives who push this stuff in the name of profit. As for government, if you think the average congressmen cares about long term tax revenue vs that sweet pharma lobby money today, you're naive.
