    i’m not sure if you meant the number to be interpreted literally, but isn’t 250lbs of fentanyl a lot. both psychonautwiki and substancesearch state that a “heavy” dose, which is where you start to seriously risk overdosing, (regardless of method of administration) is around 100ug. some quick back of the napkin math:

    • 250 lbs ≈ 1.1*10^11 ug
    • 1.1*10^11 ug/(100 ug/dose)=1.1 billion heavy doses
    • 1.1 billion doses/365 days≈3 million, i.e. assuming you take a heavy dose every single day if the year (which, again, will likely kill you), 250 lbs would be able to supply 3 million people for a whole year

    of course, this is assuming 100% purity, so these numbers probably change quite substantially if “fentanyl” is actually defined as “substance containing fentanyl”

    of course none of this is with the goal of defending whatever the fuck trump is doing, i just wanted to put into perspective that 250 lbs can actually be quite a lot for super potent substances like fentanyl

      Actually I was way off. It was 10 lbs seized at the Canadian border.

      Nearly all of that fentanyl was taken at the U.S. southern border. In the current fiscal year, just 10 pounds have been recovered along the Canadian border to date, compared with 5,400 along the Mexican border, CBP data shows.
