Not going to make the shit but it is a nice argument point to have against people who say its all imported to ruin our country. I deal with it daily but never new someone could make it at home.
It’s been awhile since I read the book (maybe I should re-read) but from what I remember, while domestic production is possible (and probably still happens to a small degree), it mostly dried up because it’s soooo easy to import it to Mexico and truck it up. Or, in the case of the OP link, import the precursors, put it together in Mexico, and truck it up. Like, as a drug trafficker, you’d be a fool not to from a risk and financial perspective.
Whether this is an “opium war” is another question. We never would have had an opiate crisis in the first place if not for the Sackler’s aggressively pushing prescription opiates.
Heh, you can buy it online, no need to even leave the house!
One of the reasons so many people are dying from it is American dealers buy it raw and then cut their products with it using the Magic Bullet Blender. But it turns out blenders are really bad at mixing dry powders, contrary to the old wives’ tales that drug dealers tell each other. So you get one pill with nothing and another pill with a fatal dose.

That has got to be the most fucked up things I have read today …no sarcasm.
