Two drug traffickers in California who were arrested last week for being in possession of 150,000 fentanyl pills — enough to kill millions of people — were released back onto the streets, officials said.

So hang on, each pill is over 13x the lethal dose?

Good catch. Apparently, they also say 13 lethal doses are only worth $5...

Officials aid each pill sells for about $5 – meaning the bust netted about $750,000 worth of deadly drugs.

(the typo in the quote was theirs)

Yeah, that doesn't add up in a couple ways. In fact, looking again, it's worse. I said over 13 lethal doses based on "enough to kill millions" which I took to mean "2,000,000 or more" but later in the article they also said "several million" which must mean even more... I'm sure fentanyl's bad reputation is largely deserved, but they've got to be exaggerating here.

So what do you have to do to get locked up in Cali?

seems like the fentanyl epidemic is yet another CIA ploy to financially support their pedo rings
