• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

***Fentanyl***

I have been hearing news stories claiming enough fentanyl has been seized that could kill everyone in the US a few times over.

Even if the news is exaggerated a bit, the numbers don’t make sense. There cannot be enough demand among drug takers to warrant this much supply.

So what does make sense? A mass terrorist attack where lethal doses of fentanyl are introduced in grocery stores and restaurants? Would be so much easier to pull off than hijacking planes.

So what is the US doing? Are they going to wait for a large scale attack before acting?

What precautions should we take to protect ourselves?
 

Fentanyl can be, AND HAS ALREADY BEEN, weaponized. See the article.

It has almost no smell or taste. Many of the reported deaths are accidental overdoses, because it was added to something else.
 
You know there are much stronger and deadlier compounds discovered/made since Fentanyl. Just a matter of time before they get released/used on the public. I didn't hear about Fentanyl until the Russians used it on the hostages and their takers in the theater decades ago.
