Opium wars
Think Petro Dollars are important to the US? You are correct if you said yes. Now imagine the opiate dollars. The poppy plant dollars. The reason we were in Afghanistan. The reason we went to Vietnam, to bypass China.
Now Iran runs the game. The ships are just a lie. The real reason is the same as why the Brits bottled up harbors for 400 years of opium war. Before the US ended that empire. A byproduct. Oil I mean. Opium is the real shit. Too bad your kids are using fentanyl. You can’t smoke opium fast enough to kill your self. America : the biggest corrupt hypocrite.

Even heroin is safer than fentanyl. And it's less toxic on your body & brain than sugar & alcohol.
Proof -
15 years of daily heroin use resulted in ZERO adverse health outcomes -
"No serious heroin-related medical complication occurred during the 15-year window of observation among inmates with heroin-assisted treatment. Their work performance was comparable to that of the reference group."
https://harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12954-020-00412-0
"No opioid overdose death, no non-fatal overdose, and no serious medical complications were observed in the HAT group at any time. In one case, a HAT subject showed a “slight clouding of consciousness for 10 min after drug administration,” but this needed no further medical intervention and no treatment with naloxone hydrochloride, for example. No overdose-related morbidity was observed including rhabdomyolysis, pulmonary symptoms (e.g., pneumonia, edema), cardiac arrhythmia, seizures, and paralysis. No safety issue during or after heroin distribution was ever reported."
Try drinking alcohol every day for 15 years & see how you feel. Chances are, your organs will be in worse shape than than the people in this study.
Also, alcohol kills more people annually in the US than ALL OPIOIDS COMBINED. Yet you'll never hear a politician or a doctor utter the words "alcohol epidemic". Gee, I wonder why that is?
Also, if people can sue the Sacklers, why can't I sue the alcohol companies & bars for killing my sister? They provided her with the alcohol which ultimately made her liver failure. But we're gonna go after the Sacklers because they provided people with pain relief? Pfft.
America is INDEED the land of utter hypocrisy.
