Where does fentanyl come from? (hexbear.net)

If you google this question, “where does fentanyl come from?” You get a results page filled with “China” and “Mexico”. I have a suspicion that the fentanyl “pouring over our southern border” narrative is mostly BS and that it’s coming from inside the house, but can anybody point me towards the facts? Thank you

We make the legal versions here and also source it and ingredients from places like China and others. Here it's prescribed by doctors for pain. The political stuff mostly concerns illegal versions and the horrific addiction qualities of the drug. You can look at Actiq, Duragesic, and Sublimaze for the legal versions. Also cops. And some of the drug companies have been accused of selling ingredients illegally. It's pretty fucked all the way around.
