Mexican Drug Cartel Product Quality Testing

Just like their larger, name-brand competitors North of the Border, the cartels do product quality testing before shipping the merchandise.

{{ The experimentation, members of the cartels say, 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, often called cooks, say they inject their experimental mixtures into human subjects as well as rabbits and chickens.

If the rabbits survive beyond 90 seconds, the drug is deemed too weak to be sold to Americans, according to six cooks and two U.S. Embassy officials who monitor cartel activity. }}

On the flip side, if the critters only survive a few seconds, they lose a lot of customers…

There’s a quote in the article where a top cartel guy says “For every one that dies, we get ten new customers.”

Now we know where Brain Thompson and United Heathcare got their business model. {{ LOL }}
