Thank god for this

as if fentanyl wasn’t bad enough, Chinese research chemical vendors are now offering KG quantities of literal neurotoxins(4-CMA - top link, not 4-CA below which is the arguably worse metabolite)

It is used as a neurotoxin by neurobiologists to selectively kill serotonergic neurons for research purposes

As of October 2015, 4-CA is a controlled substance in China.

4-ca is a metabolite of 4-cma

It is metabolized in vivo to 4-chloro-amphetamine, which is also a known neurotoxic
compound.

These have been around for a while now. As an idiotic 20 something (2011), I took 4-FA / 4-FMA for a few months there. Because “Hey, it’s not actual meth, how bad could it be?”. I will be lucky if I don’t have permanent heart problems. They discontinued a similar drug called fenfluramine for these issues. A lesson in unintended consequences. Toxic garbage for sure.

I guess he is trying to make a point, but no thanks signing away your freedom for your cause.

The odor samples pulled from washed arms also had increased amounts of a chemical called terpene, a compound…that gives cannabis its scent.

Operation Last Mile comprised 1,436 investigations conducted from May 1, 2022 through May 1, 2023, in collaboration with federal, state and local law enforcement partners, and resulted in 3,337 arrests and the seizure of nearly 44 million fentanyl pills, more than 6,500 pounds of fentanyl powder, more than 91,000 pounds of methamphetamine, 8,497 firearms, and more than $100 million. The fentanyl powder and pill seizures equate to nearly 193 million deadly doses of fentanyl removed from communities across the United States, which have prevented countless potential drug poisoning deaths. Among these investigations, more than 1,100 cases involved social media applications and encrypted communications platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Wire, and Wickr.

“The Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels use multi-city distribution networks, violent local street gangs, and individual dealers across the United States to flood American communities with fentanyl and methamphetamine, drive addiction, fuel violence, and kill Americans,” said Administrator Milgram. “What is also alarming—American social media platforms are the means by which they do so. The Cartels use social media and encrypted platforms to run their operations and reach out to victims, and when their product kills Americans, they simply move on to try to victimize the millions of other Americans who are social media users.”

I’d say just in the last 5 years or so - I remember going on SERIOUS hunts before that to find some and see what the buzz was all about especially when I lived in Boston. You usually had to find at least 4-5 packs of hippies by Copley Fountain in Back Bay before you could normally get some.

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned 17 individuals and entities involved in the international proliferation of equipment used to produce illicit drugs. These targets are directly or indirectly involved in the sale of pill press machines, die molds, and other equipment used to impress counterfeit trade markings of legitimate pharmaceuticals onto illicitly produced pills, often laced with fentanyl, frequently destined for U.S. markets.
