If you google this question, “where does fentanyl come from?” You get a results page filled with “China” and “Mexico”. I have a suspicion that the fentanyl “pouring over our southern border” narrative is mostly BS and that it’s coming from inside the house, but can anybody point me towards the facts? Thank you

    It absolutely comes from Mexico and the precursors do come from China/ maybe India, but it’s hard to think Mexico or China are doing it to harm the United States and not the United States using it as a reason to continue the militarization of the police force, which leaves only one conclusion. America is the one either producing or overseeing the production of fentanyl. Considering the connection between American law enforcement and cartels is pretty open it’s hard to dispute.
