I appreciate the feedback. I don't have a way to prove it, but I'm really not concerned with ego/fame in any of this. I've also stated several places that I plan to get legal advice from a real lawyer before moving forward with anything. As far as I know, I haven't discussed doing anything illegal. I've clearly said that if there is not a legal path forward, I'll drop the idea. Also, the post did get flagged last nig…
> I'm really not concerned with ego/fame in any of this. You've said twice that you think it will be a fun story to tell at parties. You claim the idea was inspired by a night when you called the police because your wife's friend didn't respond to her text messages. The police came and the couple you called them on told you to go away. Nothing happened, and yet you somehow think you may have saved someone's life: > A…

#204My main takeaway here is that if OP can make it to Amazon to work on AWS, hell I can make it to a FAANG too.
It’s really, really messed up of you to put the guys employer in a comment. You should remove it. Meanwhile I’ll report this.

they're from some other comments he made in this thread

Good advice. I know there have been situations where federal agencies have turned out to be "the bad guys", but I guess I'm optimistic that they are generally smart, well intentioned, and interested in some of the same outcomes that I'm talking about. As to why I'm exploring this, it's just a topic I've been thinking about lately. My daughter is starting college in the fall and they've had a lot of deaths over the la…
Fyi, Fentanyl strips are not full proof. This is because the amount of Fentanyl mixed is so small, there is high likelihood that no Fentanyl is picked up in the tested sample. In other words, high chance of false negatives. Test kits + narcan on hand is the best way to be safe.
most test kits properly instruct you on this, but you can dissolve your entire dose, or the entire batch, in water, test that, then either consume like that or let the water evaporate
in other words, testing a portion doesn't consume that portion, so you can literally test and then consume the same dose
stay safe

That's good to know. I've only done a little initial research around this. I ordered some test strips from a manufacture called MD-Bio ( https://mdbio.com ). I'll be sure to review all their instructions and safety info. Out of curiosity, are you saying that a Fentanyl level can be so low that it's undetectable by the test strips, but still high enough to kill someone?
No, I meant what Gymbeaux said.
Since Fentanyl is so potent, it's mixed in such low volume. The dosage is still high enough to kill you due to the potency.
Let's assume the desired drug to fentanyl ratio is 1000:1 by volume. When you take a small random sample of this, there's a good chance that 0 parts of Fentanyl have been selected in this random sample. You'll get a clean test result, even though the drug contains lethal amounts of Fentanyl.

#208Instead of risking your life, ruining your career, and ending up on do-not-fly lists, why not get involved in politics? If your idea has merit, promote it through the actual democratic process. Your concept of working with cartels is beyond ridiculous and I wonder how you could have possibly developed such a naive and flawed view of how crime works.
Getting involved with politics had crossed my mind. On this issue specifically, I suspect there are policy think tanks that might be open to giving me some advice. Maybe handing the idea off to one of them and letting them pursue related policy changes might be a better option. In my experience, lawmakers don't pay much attention to random people on HN.

#209Hey Chris, I’m a pretty high ranking member in the Sinaloa Cartel that also browses HN in my free time. Customers always come first in our line of work, so I’m always looking for ways to provide a high quality, safe experience with the drugs we provide and this idea sounds like it could be a game changer not just for us cartels, but also for savvy entrepreneurs like yourself. I reached out directly to the email you p…
How would you be able to prove that you are in fact a part of the sinaloa cartel it’s kinda weird your js admitting to it but that is not the point if you really are part i would want to ask some questions if you dont mind
