Can I get some? I’m sitting here in pain from knee surgery, and they gave me 5 mg hydrocodone for the pain, and you’re telling me that they’re using it to poison people? Fuck dude, poison me!

I hate the modern reefer madness that has doctors afraid to prescribed appropriate pain medication.
What is "the cradle.co"? Does anyone have this news from another reputable site? I'm skeptical until then.
Why? They cant even get aid without it being drugged. This is fucked
I’ll trade two sacks of regular flour for one of oxycodone.
Is this smuggling or poisoning? I'm not sure I understand the intent behind why there's drugs in the flour.
Someone starving with additional medical issues that have no health care would probably die from this, is my guess.
Gotta be smuggling. It seems unlikely oxy would survive baking.
OTOH, "laced with" sounds like it's not containerized separately, but rather mixed in with the bulk of the flour. I don't see the point of smuggling it that way if you can't separate it out easily later. My instinct is that this is an intentional attempt to poison.
Edit: read the linked article, that seems to be exactly what this is.
The linked article shows an image of full pills discovered and just mentions powder as reported by other sources. Those that were in powder form (how would they even be able to recognize powdered oxy in flour?) could just be destroyed or poorly solidified pills.
The core question stands, how would mixing oxy with a thing that's going to be baked be a viable plan? And why use oxy rather than something that is just a poison? There are so many more effective methods to kill an already vulnerable population than causing overdoses. And for the smuggling theory, there's a whole lot of reason to smuggle oxy. It's done all the time all over the world for abuse. And they're critically short on medicine. Seems like a very straightforward plan and motivation there.
Yet people smoke pills daily.
Implied in "smoke" is that the oxy is destroyed in the process. That's how burning things works. They don't light it and then eat the ashes.
And why use oxy rather than something that is just a poison?
Because you can call them all drug addicts, or to inflict withdrawal on the unsuspecting. It's not like cruelty is something the netanyahu regime has ever attempted to avoid.
And imagine trying to convince people that opioids can't survive heat. Wonder why people who smoke crack keep doing it.
Don't think all this genocide is just some unfortunate "side-effect", there are sick and disgusting people preying on these people in far worse and far more malicious ways, so the idea of some group doing it simply for shits and giggles pretty plausible.
Jesus fucking Christ.
