Why would anyone use a chemical
weapon to make drugs? Money
By ERIKA KINETZ
Associated Press
SHANGHAI
—
This
summer, carfentanil — one
of the most potent opioids on
the planet — hit the streets of
North America. Many users
who thought they were taking
heroin actually injected or
snorted a substance that has
until recently been viewed
as a chemical weapon. First
responders pumped hundreds
of dying, bluish people full of
the antidote naloxone to try to
make them breathe again.
Legally used as a tranquil-
izer for large animals like bears
and elephants, carfentanil is so
potent that an amount smaller
than a poppy seed can kill
a person. How such a toxic
substance made its way into
global narcotics supply chains
is a matter of economics, and
desperation.
Carfentanil is 100 times
more potent than fentanyl, a
related drug that increasingly
has been mixed into narcotics
such as heroin. But carfentanil
is only slightly more expensive
than fentanyl, and it can be
cut into much larger volumes,
Royal Canadian Mounted Police via AP
In this June 27 photo provided by the Royal Canadian Mount-
ed Police, a member of the RCMP opens a printer ink bottle
containing the opioid carfentanil imported from China, in
Vancouver. Drug dealers have been cutting carfentanil and its
weaker cousin, fentanyl, into heroin and other illicit drugs to
boost proit margins.
creating stronger, cheaper
highs.
“There’s an advantage to the
drug distributor: They make
more money,” said Russell
Baer, a special agent at the U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administra-
tion in Washington. Addicts,
meanwhile, “want the best
high at the cheapest price and
they’re willing to take whatever
risks are involved,” he said.
Carfentanil is typically sold
as a powder. Mixing it poorly
into other drugs can create
lethal hotspots of concentrated
carfentanil, presenting enor-
mous risks for users.

Governments researched
fentanyls as weapons
SHANGHAI (AP) — Before
appearing in global narcotics supply
chains , fentanyl and substances like
it were viewed as potential chemical
weapons. Scientists struggled to
igure out how to package the
chemicals so that they would
incapacitate but not kill targets. Some
highlights of those efforts:
UNITED STATES
Research into fentanyl as an
incapacitating agent began in
the 1960s and, by the 1980s,
scientists were testing primates with
aerosolized carfentanil, according to
Neil Davison, author of “’Non-Lethal’
Weapons.”
In 1997, the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, working under
a Department of Justice contract,
reported on a novel system for
delivering less-than-lethal doses of
fentanyl. They designed and tested
guns loaded with small felt pads
soaked with a fentanyl-based solution.
They also considered developing
paintball-type projectiles.
In 2014, the Environmental
Protection Agency was worried
enough about fentanyl and carfentanil
being used by terrorists that it
published instructions for taking
samples of the substances, including
from drinking water, following
“homeland security events.”
CHINA
A People’s Liberation Army
soldier was photographed in 2011
holding a “narcosis” gun, designed
to inject targets with a liquid
incapacitating agent, according
to Michael Crowley, a chemical
weapons expert at the University
of Bradford. Two state-backed
companies that marketed the guns
never speciied which chemical agent
would be used as ammunition, but
Crowley said it “might very well be
fentanyl or an analog of fentanyl.”
One advertisement for the guns
praised their “excellent silence” and
“easy schlepping.”
Scientists from a People’s
Liberation Army school called the
Institute of Chemical Defense also
have published research on fentanyls.
“These compounds are of great
importance to criminalistics and
countering terrorism,” they said in a
2011 paper.
RUSSIA
Russian special forces used
carfentanil, along with the less potent
remifentanil, to subdue Chechen
separatists who took more than 800
people hostage in a Moscow theater
in 2002, according to a paper by
British government scientists who
tested clothing and urine samples
from three survivors. The tactic
worked, but more than 120 hostages
died from the effects of the chemicals.
Others suffered lasting health
effects. The British paper also cited
a book written by a Russian general
who directed a military chemical
institute, which described fentanyls
as delivering “a knock-out blow” to
subjects within minutes.
Tribe offers pipeline protesters a place to overwinter
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP)
— The Standing Rock Sioux’s
tribal council has voted to
make tribal land available for
those protesting the Dakota
Access oil pipeline, though
an organizer from another
tribe says many of the several
hundred gathered will remain
on federal land without a
permit.
The council voted 8-5
Tuesday to use the reserva-
tion land — which is about
two miles south of the large
Oceti Sakowin, or Seven
Council Fires, camp on U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers
property — so permanent
structures can be built to
protect protesters from North
Dakota’s notoriously brutal
winter weather.
“The cold is coming and
the snow is coming,” tribal
chairman Dave Archambault
II said Wednesday. “It makes
sense to be proactive and not
reactive.”
But the offer is too late,
AP Photo/James MacPherson, File
In this Aug. 25 ile photo, people protesting the
construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline gath-
er at a campground near the Standing Rock Sioux
Reservation in North Dakota. The Standing Rock
Sioux’s tribal council voted Tuesday to make tribal land
available for those protesting the oil pipeline.
said Cody Hall, a protest
organizer who is part of the
Cheyenne River Sioux tribe
in South Dakota.
“Some people might move
but I don’t think the majority
of them will,” Hall said of
the camp’s population, which
averages 500 to 700 people,
though it sometimes swells to
well over a thousand at times.
“The (Standing Rock) tribe
sat on its heels too long and
people started losing faith.”
Archambault countered
that it took time to identify
an appropriate spot for a
new encampment on the 2.3
million-acre reservation that
straddles North Dakota and
South Dakota.
The camp, which is the
overlow from smaller private
and permitted protest sites
nearby, began growing in
August and at one point was
called the largest gathering
of Native American tribes in
a century. All were there to
protest Dallas-based Energy
Transfer Partners’ $3.8 billion
pipeline, which tribal oficials
believe threatens sacred
sites and the Missouri River,
which is a source of water for
millions.
Protesters do not have a
federal permit to be on the
corps’ land, but the federal
agency had said it wouldn’t
evict them due to free speech
reasons. Authorities have
criticized that decision, saying
the site has been a launching
point for protests at construc-
tion sites in the area; about
140 people who have been
charged in recent weeks with
interfering with such work.
Morton County Sheriff
Kyle Kirchmeier said he
supports moving the camp
to the reservation because
the protesters are currently
trespassing on federal land.
“It is a good move and
gesture ... by the council to
make that decision to try to
get those individuals back
onto tribal land,” he said.
In preparation for the
winter,
protesters
have
stockpiled mountains of
irewood, winterized wall
tents and set up traditional
teepees and wigwams, Hall
said, adding that his tribe will
bear the costs of maintaining
portable toilets, something the
Standing Rock tribe has done
in the past.
Corps
spokeswoman
Eileen Williamson said the
agency supports the Standing
Rock Sioux’s decision to
make tribal land available.
