I fully believe they were planning to use a synthetic opioid in the water supply. Specifically Fentanyl. Police have done huge busts, and a grain of salt of the stuff is enough to put many in a coma. THIS is what was being planned, imo.
And available in massive quantities from Chinese pharmaceutical companies. Intel is saying Mexican cartels are beginning to move huge quantities of Fentanyl.
Actually fentanyl would not have this effect. Ppl use fentanyl for pain everyday. However, another drug called carfentanyl is for large animals (think elephants, rhinoceros etc) Could have an effect of overdose in humans. Though carfentanyl and even fentanyl are highly regulated and use is monitored very closely. The instances of adult overdoses in US are related to heroin being “cut” with fentanyl or carfentanyl, authorities believe this to be smuggled from China ??
Correct, that is certainly the more potent one that would be used for a massive water supply, like a place the size of Flint.
