Fentanyl is much cheaper and easier to manufacture than heroin, being totally synthetic, eliminating the need for poppy cultivation altogether. Soon all street "heroin" will be Fentanyl only, if this is not already the case. China and Mexico are the main manufacturers, with Mexico, naturally, being the main entry point, along with Chinese cargo containers.
It is dosed in micrograms, so anyone buying a bag on the street, expecting to shoot heroin, ODs.
Call it a sort of new wrinkle on natural selection.
If you really wanted to work the race angle, blame the Chinese and Mexicans, the main manufacturers and smugglers of Fentanyl.
Junkies everywhere would be well-advised to buy pills that are easily recognizable as prescription opiates, enroll in a local methadone program, or expect a hot shot at any time.
