Drug officials warn of deadly crack, cocaine resurgence in NYC

Cops and prosecutors told The Post that a record influx of Colombian cocaine has spurred the return of crack — the cheap, smokable scourge that sparked a crime wave in New York in the late 1980s and 1990s.

“The groups want to control the territory, and they have to sell a lot. If somebody else is encroaching on them, they’re not going to be able to do that,” Brennan told The Post. “Historically we’ve seen violence associated with them, and certainly in our current investigation we’ve seen that.” Investigators have busted packing operations where blends are made using cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, meth, tramadol, and the sedative xylazine — also known asfentanyl is the strongest drug and the cheapest to makeA recent bust in The Bronx turned up glassine bags branded with the dealer’s “Skull Crusher” logo.

The cascade of imported cocaine stems from a 50% surge in Colombian coca production, with crops now covering 245,000 hectares — up from 160,000 hectares during the height of the cocaine craze in the 1990s, officials said.New, smaller coca-growing outfits have popped up in Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, adding to the explosion of cocaine’s availability.

Those accustomed to taking oxycodone, heroin, or other opioids tend to be less vulnerable to fentanyl’s fatal power because of having built up a tolerance, experts say. Some may regularly ingest 2 milligrams or more of fentanyl.“It’s mostly young people who are fentanyl-naive who are most at risk,” said Brian Mason, a District Attorney in Colorado, where fentanyl-infused cocaine, including a young couple with a four-month-old girl.

Makes sense, The city is skyrocketing and crumbling with crime and lawlessness just like they did in the 1980s!!

I came for the hunter Biden memes and I wasn’t disappointed

A perfect match

Do you think was the wellness kits?

Resurgence? When did it ever die down?

is there non deadly crack beacuse that’s ok right?

Shouldn't we just take away all their trains, ships, & planes ? How else do the criminals get the drugs here ?

What about D.C.? Have you drug-tested Congress lately? NO? What are the effects of cocaine and other drug addictions/use on decision-making?

Don Jr got to get it from somewhere.

It’s true. Look at the streets of nyc. There are blocks with more crackheads than pedestrians. It’s destroying our city
