In 2002, Putin the Terrible used aerosolized fentanyl analogs as a gas during the Moscow theater hostage crisis killing 125 hostages

So is fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction or like the C in ABC weapons?

According to Google: "The event demonstrated the potential of weaponized fentanyl and raised international concerns regarding the use of such "incapacitating" chemical agents under the Chemical Weapons Convention."

I blogged here and here about President Trump recently declaring fentanyl to be a weapon of mass destruction.

Ex-War Department official warns terrorists may one day aerosolize fentanyl, praises Trump move | Just The News "Former WMD official David Lasseter noted that Russian security forces in 2002 accidentally killed 130 hostages during a Chechen terrorism incident when they pumped a gaseous form of fentanyl into a theater hoping to anesthetize the terrorists. The formula was too strong and was lethal to many."

Trump Has No Authority to Categorize Fentanyl as Weapon of Mass Destruction. Really!

How this National Review editor makes a fool out of himself! Or is it Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Fact is one can consider and designate illegal Fentanyl killing tens of thousands of Americans every year as a chemical weapon in the sense of ABC weapons.

I have just blogged here about the legalization of psychoactive drugs in Western countries.

Caveat: I did not read the article. It is behind paywall.
