"The cartel operatives came to the homeless encampment carrying syringes filled with their latest fentanyl formula. The offer was simple... up to $30 for anyone willing to inject themselves with the concoction."
"When it's really strong, it knocks you out or kills you, said Mr. Lopez Camacho of the drugs he and others were given. The people here died."
"Global efforts to crack down on the synthetic opioid have made it harder for these criminal groups to find the chemical compounds they need to produce the drug... pushing the cartels to come up with new and extremely risky ways to maintain fentanyl production and potency."
"The experimentation... involves combining the drug with a wider range of additives including animal sedatives and other dangerous anesthetics. To test their results... the criminals who make the fentanyl for the cartels... inject their experimental mixtures into human subjects as well as rabbits and chickens."
