There is a term in pharmacology – LD50 – it is the dose that 50% of the animal/human taking such a dose – 50% would die !

Fentanyl has an intravenous LD50 of 2.91mg/kg in rats1, an oral LD50 of 18mg/kg in rats and 368mg/kg in mice.MSDS The LD50 in humans is not known.
This is all I could find regarding LD50 for Fentanyl, but according to Wikipedia there is some 400 known different analogs of fentanyl… and the FDA approved analog – citrate – is claimed to be about twice the potency of the analog (acetate) that is typically used in illegal fentanyl tabs from the Mexican cartels.
“back in the day” we kids had “connect the dots” graphic that would display some sort of image when all the dots were connected. Over the last few weeks, I have seen where numerous federal entities or members of Congress are publicly sharing “dots” of information about the war on drugs. Such things as the attached video where the “expert” testifying on a trial, showing the cartels and the routes of distributions used by the various cartels and that the DEA has been fully aware of all of this for maybe TWO DECADES.
Recently on a national new program it was stated that 379 MILLION illegal fentanyl tabs were confiscated in the USA in the last calendar year and/or last federal fiscal year and just this week a member of Congress from Arizona on national TV program and the millions of illegal fentanyl tablets that are being released to the media only represents 8% to 15% of what actually comes across the border.
So this would mean that anywhere from 2.52 BILLION to 4.7 BILLION is coming across our boarders every year. This means that 2.15 BILLION to 4.32 BILLION illegal fentanyl tablets actually gets to our streets.

[…] This article contains some very interesting facts. a Forensic Scientist (Scott Oulton) over the DEA lab states that OVER 99% of seized opioid tablets contain ILLEGAL DRUGS mostly one or more of the 400 known Fentanyl analogs, and ONLY ONE ANALOG is approved by the FDA for human use. Here is a recent post on my blog where I quoted a member of Congress that the number of tablets confiscated represents 8% to 15% of what actually comes into our country. when DEA facts and statistics don’t “add up”… what is really the TRUTH ?

U know,sooo far they have lied about EVERYTHING,,, why would they start telling truth now,,,the conflict of interest is tooo high,,,ie,,,,our $$$$ pays for them,,along w/our poor doctors retirements, IT IS SOOOOO CORRUPT,,,ITS BEYOUND BELIEF,,There is a line in the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,,, that states,,”When any form of government ,”EVINCES BY DESIGN, to inflict absolute despotism, it is our duty and our right,to alter or abolish such government and find new guards for our wellbeing,”’I think that time is well past,thus NOW,,,jmo,,maryw,,,,maryw
My question is what has the government done right over the last 100 years? Anything? Failures-Post Office, FDA, SEC, NIH, CDC, FBI, Northeast Corridor slow non-profitable trains, Enforcement of Banks, Crypto ruled by enforcement not by real rules and definitions, School systems, fiat currency, Federal Reserve, Monetary Policy, National Debt, Wars since WW2-everything has been an utter failure and loss leader always taking away more freedoms, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
