Yeah. So the cartels are getting these precursors. They're turning around and distributing the precursors to cooks who I read like a Univision story on. So they just I guess we're interviewing some random fentanyl cook in Mexico. It was like three 20 year olds who were just standing out in the woods under a black tarp with a pot on top of a fire, just stirring it like it was really easy to make.

And then that stuff goes back to the cartels to smuggle across the border and sell.

Yeah, most often American women, and I think the Cato Institute did a study where they found 86.3% of convicted fentanyl smugglers are American citizens. So that seems to be totally untrue. But apparently, I think this is a measure of how bad fentanyl is. Because, I mean, Chuck, we're pretty fentanyl naive. I've never done fentanyl.

I'm making a pretty good assumption that you've never done fentanyl and kept it a secret from me. So it's entirely possible that within this whole thing, we've passed along some myth or exaggeration without being aware of it. And for that, I'm sorry. The thing is, it seems that the overall... theme that fentanyl is incredibly deadly and on a level unlike any other drug that's ever hit the U.S.

market, so much so that it's like, just don't do drugs. It's too dangerous because of the presence of fentanyl. I think that holds. And I think this supports that thesis a In Sinaloa, the Sinaloa cartel has a ban on selling fentanyl in Sinaloa. Punishable by death.

So if you're a drug dealer in Sinaloa and the Sinaloa cartel catches you selling fentanyl in their state, in Mexico, where they're supplying the rest of the world with fentanyl, they'll kill you. I think that says just about everything you need to know about fentanyl.

So one of the things that's a little different about the fentanyl epidemic is that it doesn't it hasn't tracked closely or identically to past drug epidemics where like the crack epidemic or the cocaine epidemic, especially of like the 90s where or the 80s or 90s, where if you were caught with it, especially if you're black, you're going to prison for possibly the rest of your life.
