        I worry about how this story will result in a moral panic, further criminalize/restrict pain meds, and impact people who need pain medication for cancer, etc. Most African peoples do not have access to adequate pain medications for severe conditions. Africa has a pain epidemic

        It is. Relax. Nobody will sell to you if they don't know the person before.

        I really don't know how they did it, but it's possible they went through someone who knows the dealers, how about that...

        did you see the weapons they showed? No ''someone who knows the dealers'' would take that risk.
