Record drug bust finds enough fentanyl to kill 26M people

KEARNEY, Neb. -- The Nebraska State Patrol says the nearly 120 pounds of suspected cocaine and fentanyl that troopers seized last month turned out to be all fentanyl, a deadly opioid that federal officials blame for thousands of deaths nationwide.

The patrol says the stash was a record fentanyl seizure in Nebraska and estimates the drugs may have been worth up to $20 million on the street. The Drug Enforcement Administration says just 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal. The fentanyl seized was enough to kill 26 million people, according to DEA estimates.

The foil-wrapped packages were found April 26 in a semitrailer searched after a traffic stop along Interstate 80 near Kearney, 170 miles southwest of Omaha.....

As deadly as Fentanyl is, I think getting caught with and intent to sell should be a death penalty case.  Or at least attempted murder.

Agreed. That’s some bad stuff.

I just looked this stuff up, never heard of it before.
Sounds like some nasty stuff if abused.

Fentanyl is a DEA-controlled Schedule II drug. That means manufacturers and, in my case, drug compounders who produce the drug and the compounded drug, have a lot to contend with. I've been dealing with these types of drugs for several years now in my job, and it makes for a lot of bureaucracy.

Considering that fentanyl doses are measured in MICROGRAMS (thousandths of a milligram, aka millionths of a gram), yeah.  120 POUNDS of it is definitely not for personal use.
