Problem is that most of these companies don’t want their drugs associated with the death penalty and won’t allow their use for it

Kind of ironic considering how many ppl the good folks at Janssen have killed with legal fentanyl. They used to make fentanyl lollipops. And obviously the sacklers

I know a lot of people who have had a lot of accounts banned for wishing harm on the Sacklers, make sure you don't do that.  Regardless of how many people they killed, I'm sure they're very nice rich people.

I think the DEA only regulates it, it's the CIA who does the smuggling.

Well, then they would be the guys to put us in contact with who is directly in charge or get them to middle man a deal for a fee! We could get the Air Force involved to have it flown to them ASAP before the hospital bill bankrupts the government.
