How will that help? The fentanyl in street ‘heroin’ is manufactured in China (and maybe Mexico) and smuggled into the US, it isn’t fentanyl from Roche or Lilly

How will that help? The fentanyl in street ‘heroin’ is manufactured in China (and maybe Mexico) and smuggled into the US, it isn’t fentanyl from Roche or Lilly being diverted to the black market.

- quickthrowman 5y agoThe consequences for drug crimes do not matter to the people who sell them, the potential profits are too big. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year selling cocaine or heroin to addicts. The consequences do not deter drug sales, the evidence being that drugs are widely available. The profit margins are too big. Fentanyl probably has a 95-99% net profit margin, that’s why people kill each other over drugs.
- Gibbon1 5y agoI just remember what happened when California decriminalized pot back in 1975. Didn't take long for ordinary pot dealers to stop selling hash. Also they stopped selling anything but buds. So based on that I'm pretty sure if you reduced penalties for high quality morphine and slammed people selling Fentanyl, dealers wouldn't touch Fentanyl.
