California Seized Enough Fentanyl Last Year to Kill Everyone in the World ‘Nearly Twice Over’
February 28th, 2024Via: Los Angeles Times:
Roughly 62,000 pounds of fentanyl smuggled into California was confiscated by authorities in 2023. The total amount of the potent synthetic opioid seized last year “is enough to potentially kill the global population nearly twice over,” Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced Tuesday.
In 2023, the California National Guard supported other law enforcement agencies in counter-drug operations across the state, seizing a record 62,000 pounds of fentanyl at ports of entry, according to a news release from Newsom’s office. It’s unclear what means were used to smuggle the opioid and what form the fentanyl was in when shipped.

Where and how is such a quantity safely disposed of? Wouldn’t have to be altered to make it harmless?
