What about drug cartels? They're happy to provide fentanyl overdose amounts to unsuspecting end users, could they provide the same to jails? It's apparently also pretty cheap, and no injections needed.
How bout the state just not kill people
I'd settle for only killing those who wanted to die... but that would make too much sense, or something.
Pretty shure they wouldn't supply the US government for executions either...
The government seizes a fuckton of narcotics constantly. They could test some of them for purity and use that supply.
But they are usually stretched with some really bad shit.
As of late, that seems to be fentanyl, which is only bad if your goal is to survive.
That's where the 'test for purity' comes in. I was thinking just pure fentanyl. I'm sure they seize some diverted pharmaceutical products. Or, they could just make their own... if a cartel can do it, a state government could.
I mean, the CIA is literally part of the US government and they are a big participant in South American drug cartels. Surely they could organize something.
But they aren't buying it for executions or officially...
If some prison just takes out a liter of diamorphine from "unknown" source there will be questions... And not just from inside the USA...
LE destroys large quantities of seized drugs regularly.
