The United States is facing a fentanyl crisis, with over 110,000 Americans dying in one of the worst overdose crises. Mexican drug cartels are blamed for controlling the fentanyl trade at the border, with guns from American manufacturers contributing to the problem. Efforts to stem the flow of fentanyl across the southern border and prevent overdoses are being intensified. San Francisco is particularly affected, with a significant number of deaths attributed to fentanyl. The impact on families, communities, and children is highlighted, and the need for accountability from China, Mexico, and Honduras is emphasized. The US is also using AI to track chemicals used to produce fentanyl in Mexico. Legislation is being proposed to charge drug dealers with murder in fentanyl-related deaths.
The fentanyl crisis is out of control and harm reduction maximalism is glamorizing drug use in ways that are harmful. We know beer and cigarette ads led to bad public health outcomes: why are public health officials encouraging fentanyl use? https://t.co/zag8veT15k https://t.co/haYnUVEwZ8
