Drug Cartels Are Poisoning America, Data Analytics Can Stop Them (From The National Interest)

November 8, 2021Paul Steidler

The opioid epidemic continues to ravage America. In 2020, 69,710 Americans died from opioid overdoses, up 49 percent from 2018. There is no indication this epidemic is subsiding; rather it appears to be getting worse. Illegal opioids are readily available via the international mail system. America has the technical know-how to better identify and seize larger quantities of these drugs in the international mail system. In fact, a 2018 law, the Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act, requires such action and needs to be more rigorously enforced. Lexington Institute’s Paul Steidler discusses this in an Op-Ed in The National Interest here.
