The letter doesn’t provide any evidence of stockpiling but cites the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis, during which Russian troops released a gas believed to contain fentanyl analogs into a theater filled with hostages trapped by Chechen rebels; the gas incapacitated the rebels but also killed more than 120 hostages.
In June, Boebert introduced the ‘‘Fentanyl Is a WMD Act,” which would require the Department of Homeland Security to treat fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. In a press release touting the bill, Boebert blamed the “porous southern border” for allowing fentanyl into the country.

I work on the ambulance and we give people fent every single day for all sorts of reasons. It works fast and well, and wears off quick.
If they call it a weapon of mass destruction I can only imagine it will make it harder to get and public Healthcare Is going to suffer
They are hiding WMD's in the ambulances! Every ambulance is now a legitimate target!
