My understanding is that Fentanyl is synthetic and that China is the primary source of those (three, I think) precursor chemicals. I don't know enough about chemistry to know if the precursors are derived from poppies but I'm not under the impression that they are. Can you go into more detail on that? Also I never claimed oxies were smuggled into the US, and I mentioned that people od because their heroin is spiked with Fent, so I'm not sure if you're trolling?

https://erowid.org/pharms/fentanyl/ https://erowid.org/pharms/fentanyl/ So, i've been trying to do some digging. It seems that this is the precursor to fentynyl https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/1-Benzyl-4-piperidone https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/1-Benzyl-4-piperid... According to these syntheses. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0108250 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/fentanyl https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/fentanyl Finding the precursor to N-Benzyl-4-piperidone was difficult but it seems to be partially this. https://m.chemicalbook.com/ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB9343629.htm https://m.chemicalbook.com/ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB9343...
