Another bullshit story by #police claiming that an #officer suffered immediate, debilitating effects after being exposed to #fentanyl. They've been spreading these stories for about two years now, and not a single one of them is true. You cannot overdose from fentanyl through casual contact. This is a medical fact. Yet facts don't stop police from continuing to spread dangerous disinformation, even when objectively disproven. I don't understand why they keep doing this.
We all know who fallaciously believes #fentanyl is a deadly threat you can OD on just by a grazing touch, and it ain't anyone in the bottom left corner, so 🤷🏻♀️
NEW: Posters calling out judges who dropped charges against people accused of selling fentanyl have popped up on Mission near 22nd. They're getting strong pushback from San Francisco legal professionals.
“This is just wildly inappropriate. You could cause violence against judges.”
People in Baltimore have been dying of overdoses at a rate never before seen in a major American city.
The city was once hailed for its response to #addiction. But as #fentanyl flooded streets & ofcls shifted priorities, deaths hit unprecedented heights.
So apparently that #fentanyl laced #cocaine is everywhere right now.
If you saw the story about the guys watching a Kansas City game and three of them freezing to death outside the home they were partying in, turns out they were doing cocaine and they tested positive for fentanyl. That would explain why the dude hosting the party slept for two days. I don’t think he was lying about that.
I mean I guess we don’t know that they weren’t doing fentanyl on purpose, are #speedballs something that people would do to watch football? It seems like they would prefer the cocaine and beer alone
US Treasury #OFAC designates 28 individuals and entities involved with the international proliferation of illicit drugs, including a #China-based network responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of ton quantities of #fentanyl, methamphetamine, and MDMA precursors.
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me because my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 17 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony for me & no #pain control.
The U.S. Justice Department on Friday filed criminal charges against four Chinese chemical manufacturing companies and eight individuals over allegations they illegally trafficked the chemicals used to make fentanyl - a highly addictive painkiller that has fueled the opioid crisis in the United States.
Police claim that after one officer "touched a pill without gloves," somehow this caused multiple cops to lose consciousness requiring hospitalization for an overdose, and a nurse who treated one of the cops also was treated for an overdose.
The only thing these cops overdosed on was their own propaganda, causing them to have panic attacks.
Mexico's leader says the country doesn't have a #fentanyl problem. New data reveals a hidden epidemic.
We did a deep dive and the data is WILD -- but also I want to take a minute to talk about problematic #media depictions of vulnerable people. Here's a thread.
"we know that this global fentanyl supply chain, which ends with the deaths of Americans, often starts with chemical companies in China"
— US Attorney General Merrick Garland
The DOJ announces charges against eight chemical companies in China and twelve of their executives for trafficking fentanyl precursor chemicals into the US, and related crimes.
