Andy Harris said "We surpassed 100,000 overdose deaths this year, a 28 percent increase. The amount of fentanyl seized at our southern border--seized--is over 100 million pills and 11,000 pounds. Now, as a physician who has administered fentanyl, this is enough to kill hundreds of millions of Americans. The price of heroin is now down to $20 a dose; the price of fentanyl down to $2. One stunning supply chain success this administration has under its belt is the fentanyl supply chain across our southern border. One place this administration has successfully fought inflation is in lowering the price of illegal opioids on our streets. The latest effort by this administration to promote drug use is now to spend $30 million to supply clean crack-smoking pipes to addicts. Mr. Speaker, just say no. ___________________
