GRIM REAPING

A conspiracy hypothesis must surely be tested regarding the carnage
currently inflicted by street fentanyl and its weaponized derivative,
carfentanil.

Simply stated, drug dealing is a business. No entrepreneur is going to
deliberately contaminate product so that it kills the customers.

Suspicion must be entertained that some organization with ulterior
motives is deliberately contaminating the street drug supply.

Opioid and stimulant injectors are the main target. The possibility of
tainted street marijuana (Get naloxone, pot users urged, Aug. 4) pales
by comparison.

Now more than ever, the adage rings true that illegal drugs are not
dangerous because they're illegal, they're illegal because they are
dangerous.

Harm reduction efforts are laudable but they are failing to stop the
purge.
