Oh my god still? Cocaine isn't cool anymore. Fent is more profitable to move. What the hell? Was The Deserter right?

You don't have to move fent. You can make it locally. The fent is usually mixed with other drugs, a little bit of cocaine could be laced with a whole lot of fent and then sold as pure cocaine to maximize profit.

Oh. I know fop was importing it?

Yeah but cocaine is neither cool nor the most profitable thing anymore, so I was kind of just asking 'wtf CIA?'

Truth be told I have no idea what's actually popular now, but when fentanyl hit the scene, for years it was being mixed into other drugs as a cheap filler that would also make the drug more potent, faster acting and more addictive.

As well as far more deadly.

Absolutely!

Cocaine production in latin America has never been higher, it's dropped the price by huge amounts and now they are looking outside the USA to sell since the USA decided to kill their own economy.

Right but is it still the CIA moving it? And if so why?

Again, its not cool anymore. I don't think it's the most profitable thing. Why?
