Progressive AG flip flops on deadly drug crackdown, supports stricter laws after calling for eased penalties
Fox News
Democratic Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is going an about-face when it comes to cracking down on the fentanyl crisis after previously advocating for easing penalties.
According to Nevada law, a person in possession of fentanyl would only be charged with a misdemeanor unless the amount possessed was at least 100 grams, an amount the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) says could kill between 300,000 and 500,000 people.
The new bill, introduced by state Democratic Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, would lower that threshold of fentanyl possession to four grams, the amount previously in place prior to the law supported by Ford being enacted. Although a significantly lower amount, four grams of fentanyl is still enough to kill between 1,200 and 2,000 people.
