Futile ‘FEND OFF Fentanyl Act’ Might Fuel a Nitazene Crisis
By Jeffrey A. Singer
Putting pressure on Chinese fentanyl precursor manufacturers might aid their competitors in India. And because waging war on drugs is like a game of whack-a-mole, the precursor business will pop up in countries other than India as opportunities present themselves.
Worst of all, this feckless political theater ignores the iron law of prohibition: “The harder the law enforcement, the harder the drug.” As Josh Bloom (Director of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science at the American Council on Science and Health) and I wrote in a recent article for USA Today, a class of synthetic opioids loosely called “nitazenes” may soon produce the next overdose scourge.
