MEXICAN DRUG GANG Busted In Massachusetts With Enough Fentanyl To Kill Entire State

Late last week, in Washington DC, Democrat congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (CA) (who was recently attacked by a large gang of “Dreamers” for not doing enough to help them gain amnesty), stood on the House floor for eight hours, yammering on about the importance of giving almost 1 million illegal aliens and their families amnesty. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers in Boston were hard at work, trying to save millions of American lives, when they took down a dangerous Mexican drug gang, or “Nightmares”, with more than 33 pounds of fentanyl, enough to kill every resident living in the state of Massachusetts.
Fox News just announced that Boston authorities say they’ve seized more than 33 pounds of fentanyl—enough to kill millions of people—in connection with one of Massachusetts’ biggest drug busts ever.

How dangerous is 33 lbs of fentanyl?

The opioid crisis just keeps getting worse, in part because new types of drugs keep finding their way onto the streets. Fentanyl, heroin’s synthetic cousin, is among the worst offenders.


It’s deadly because it’s so much stronger than heroin, as shown by the photograph above, which was taken at the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory. On the left is a lethal dose of heroin, equivalent to about 30 milligrams; on the right is a 3-milligram dose of fentanyl, enough to kill an average-sized adult male.

Fentanyl, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and many times that of heroin.

Drugs users generally don’t know when their heroin is laced with fentanyl, so when they inject their usual quantity of heroin, they can inadvertently take a deadly dose of the substance. In addition, while dealers try to include fentanyl to improve potency, their measuring equipment usually isn’t fine-tuned enough to ensure they stay below the levels that could cause users to overdose. Plus, the fentanyl sold on the street is almost always made in a clandestine lab; it is less pure than the pharmaceutical version and thus its effect on the body can be more unpredictable.

Heroin and fentanyl look identical, and with drugs purchased on the street, “you don’t know what you’re taking,” Tim Pifer, the director of the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory, told STAT in an interview. “You’re injecting yourself with a loaded gun.”
