Haven’t we had the war on drugs? You can only stop it when people stop wanting it. Supply and demand. Americans are huge consumers of drugs.
Very tragic news for the Ehlinger family

Nothing? We've spent trillions on the war on drugs. Marijuana arrests are still something like half of ALL arrests. Asset forfeiture has exceeded "criminal" theft for years. I believe that full legalization of narcotics would reduce the overdose rate. Fentanyl is a poor choice for a recreational narcotic. The onset is dangerously fast. That's what killed George Floyd. The half life is too short. But it's cheap and easy to smuggle. Addicts were better off with morphine and heroin. I know a little about this: I did cardiac anesthesia for 5 years. We gave massive doses of fentanyl (like a milligram or two) to patients for cardiac surgery. But we breathed for them too.
Should’ve just paid the cartel to keep their drugs out of the US. And anyone transporting for them that try and sneak it in across the border they can deal with. Maybe then we’d be more successful.
I'm talking more about overall border control. The explosion of migrants flooding the border since Joe took office is alarming and unsustainable.
We've has 1.7 million illegal crossings over the last year, three times the previous 9 years and the highest since 1960. This is directly related to Bidens reversal of Trumps policies. No bueno.
Ok then we are talking two different things. Yes I agree the border is an issue. I was referring to what this thread was about which was drugs. Speaking of drugs coming into the US has anyone watched the documentary on Bad Sports about Randy Lanier? That dude brought in so much MJ via cargo ships.
On a related note I can't imagine how illegal drugs aren't coming over in increased numbers because of the strain imposed on border control. I definitely am not implying it's never been a problem before Biden.
They probably are but I don’t think they’re coming in mass shipments. Those are by vehicle or boats which usually get inspected but some how some get across. 😉 I wonder how!?
I crossed the border into Tijuana last week and came back across the same way by foot. Our border agents are pretty passive to Americans. I mean my bags were scanned but not me.
