Just to be fair. They should be given the same sentence they gave their unsuspecting customers.

At a minimum, they should be charged with attempted murder, or murder if any of their customers dies.

Agree.

I really don't understand why so many dealers are cutting their drugs with fentanyl and the like. The money is in the comeback, not when your clients die.

From what I understood, the dealers see fentanyl as so cheap they need to make the profit. And the never ending supply of customers lets them do it. So if they lose a few, there always more out there that the fentanyl will hook for a while.

Same reason crack was so big for a while - it was cheap, and the customers would do anything for it till it killed them.

The more of these assholes they bust the better. The authorities really need to go after the people that make it possible for the dealers to even get this shit to begin with.

A friend of mine's son fell into the wrong crowd and went from using cocaine to heroin. When he was checked into rehab he was tested and turned up positive for fentanyl in his system. He admitted that he knew something was different on one of his heroin trips. Obviously, he is lucky to be alive.
