    Illicit fentanyl shipped to the U.S. from abroad through mail & express consignment carriers is fueling the opioid epidemic. @POTUS must sign INTERDICT Act & help @CustomsBorder fight back.

        As a major port of entry, JFK International Airport should be amongst the first locations to receive @CustomsBorder’s new high-tech drug scanners once this bill is signed into law.

        Tell Sessions to concentrate on that instead of his weed agenda, which is a cover for his personal vested interest in privatized prisons.

        What is weird about what @jeffsessions is doing is that @realDonaldTrump agenda was to leave it up to the states and not change the law. Total waste of resources.

        Not one press conference or immediate action taken by @jeffsessions or #AttorneyGeneral office in reference to these real crisis, but he's glad to pose and talk about ending positive #cannabis legislation because of his personal issues.

        are you sure that's where it's coming from? I mean, I believe it's coming from outside, but I also believe all these lying lobbying big pharm corps, that just so happen to have just got a very large free giveaway of Americans $$, definitely have their hand in it too. #Greed

        I'm an RN and I saw first hand the Big Pharma campaign to push opioids on people and that's exactly why we have this epidemic. Why isn't Chuck writing a bill to monitor and place responsibility back on the complicit US pharmaceutical industry? 🤔#CampaignMoney

        A wall is a waste of taxpayers money. Drugs still come through tunnels, legal ports of entry, drones & catapults. Use the money for something worthwhile.

        Is there data that supports this “fueling” the epidemic? The root cause (via historical data) is the approval of prescribed, medically unnecessary pharma painkillers (ie, if the approval was removed, use of this/other similars would return to pre-approval, non-epidemic levels).

        The data is that 64K Americans died of an overdose in 2016 - 22K of them were from prescription drugs. The root cause of the epidemic is linked to RX opioids, but Opioid overdose deaths have increased over 40% in the last 2 years due to fentanyl.https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates …

        While it’s presumed that the increase in overdose deaths is due to illegally made fentanyl and not prescription opioids (which includes pharmaceutical fentanyl), prescription opioids continue to be involved in more overdose deaths than any other drug. https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/analysis.html …

        Russian organized crime profits significantly from illegal drug sales in the US. State laws legalizing pot have cut into their profits. So will passage of the INTERDICT Act. https://www.unodc.org/wdr2017/field/Booklet_5_NEXUS.pdf …
