The tariffs cure all?
Stopping the supply of fentanyl garners much headlines, yet no one is talking about the demand for the product? Why are the users wanting to use the drug? Who are they and what is driving the demand? The sociologists are sleeping on the job?

… maybe since “our most recent unpleasantness” when everyone suddenly discovered that “everything had changed” when actually nothing had changed it was just that having the “down time” enabled folks to see what had always been the case.
If you think that things have changed or will change in the near future you may experience, as Yogi Berra once said, “… déjà vu all over again.” What do I mean? You may have encountered or yourself been one of those who as “our most recent unpleasantness” came to an end, remarked how shocked they were by how much that “things had changed”. I think good argument could be made that what they were experiencing instead was not that “things had changed” but instead, under the stress of encountering unavoidable overwhelming evidence had to admit to themselves that this was how things had in fact always been. For whatever reason(s), prior to our most recent unpleasantness, they either could not see or refused to see how things actually were.
Seeing things “as they actually are” has for a great many obviously become unendurable or unacceptable. Maybe they feel the drugs (this one or any other) at least offer the possibility of some hope of engaging the same “reality” every day. Just a thought …

Sam Cooper was recently interviewed about his book “Willful Blindness EXPOSED” – about the global Fentanyl money laundering operation.
What I’m finding a bit of a puzzler though: His book is being endorsed by mainstream media, many of which are putting forth positive reviews, and the library systems are stocking his book. The “puzzler” for me is that I have seen so much censorship, in the media and the libraries and public institutions in the past few years (i.e., no library around here will stock Dr. Farrell’s books, nor will the local bookstores sell them) – that it makes me wonder why this book is getting recognition? (I have not read the book – just seen a few interviews of Sam Cooper – and thus, would have no insight as to what aspect of his book makes it so appealing to the mainstream).

Addiction and incapacity to change their lives?

It is highly addictive and frequently prescribed by practitioners. The patient finds out how addictive it is when practitioners stop prescribing. That is when the black market comes in. Sadly, so many trust their practiotioners and they should be better informed!

When I lived in Houston before I left in 2012, a neighbor on disability social security used fentanyl patches for her chronic pain. I had no idea at the time. Years later via a telephone conversation she admitted she was concerned about finding another doctor who would issue her prescription when the fentanyl crackdown occurred.

That is the problem. For many practiotioners it is just another pain releaver like others, which it isn’t. When I was stil working as a nurse it was prescibed as if it was aspirin!

I’ve been rereading ”Microcosm and Medium” and wondering how one could ask Dr. Farrell a question about consciousness that might arise from a combination of fentanyl, music with no rhythm, and permission to rage. What happens to the wiring of the brain?To the spirit? What becomes human? Are the agents of this heart-breaking disaster the usual actors? I’d like to know what chapter he might add to this book, or what chapter he would point us to. I’ve worked in the arenas of trauma and addiction for decades, including with ‘street people,’ and I have never seen anything like this.

Nope, just that addiction doesn’t only come from the high, the high is the obsfuscating factor.
The dysfunctional “reality” modernity seems to project plays right into addiction and its definition.
Like he says, you are not your addiction. How many babies exited the birth canal without experiencing some trauma only to be hit on bottom, pin pricked for a blood sample, circumcision for some boys and immediately separated from the mother into a room full of other traumatized babies?
