China to curb all types of fentanyl, following US demands - BBC News

China says it will crack down on all types of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, following a plea from the US.

All fentanyl-related substances will be added to China's list of controlled narcotic drugs from 1 May, officials said.
=====================================
We'll see how far this goes.

Fentanyl is easy to make in even a rudimentary lab. Apparently much of the fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from China in the mail. If prepared correctly, it is virtually undetectable even by trained narcodogs.

It is not that difficult to ship most illegal drugs anywhere in the United States, especially considering how inept USPS is.
 
I have even heard the popular dark web sites that allow people to buy and ship all manner of illegal drugs through the mail in exchange for cryptocurrencies have banned the sale of fentanyl. I guess the smarter drug dealers realized that killing their customers is not a good legal OR business strategy. :)

I thought most of it went to pushers who used it to 'cut' their H to produce "H" with an extra kick, a quality sought after by users.

That is my understanding as well. But the more sophisticated "pushers" are selling on the darkweb and they will find that harder to do now, at least they won't be able to get away with ADVERTISING it as having fentanyl. I doubt any dark web site actually tests the stuff their vendors sell.

But yeah, about a year ago I saw a documentary on Showtime or HBO that following around a dealer, I think it was H. And right there on camera he was cutting the stuff with fentanyl. He said something like, "Yeah, it kills them but they won't buy from me if it doesn't have it". And the dealer wasn't even using a scale. He was eyeballing it. Eyeballing FENTANYL. Might as well play Russian roulette if you are going to use that stuff.

It would be quite easy to put a bag of drugs inside a cake or a lasagna type dish. You see it all the time when guests are trying to bring gifts to prisoners.

You may see it all the time but I have never been inside a prison.
