Mexican drug cartels are now recruiting university chemistry students to enhance fentanyl production, according to a New York Times investigation.
Fentanyl, responsible for 74,702 deaths in the US in 2023 alone, is a synthetic opioid notorious for its potency and addictive properties. To maintain their supply chains and increase product potency, cartels like the Sinaloa cartel are targeting young, skilled chemists to independently synthesize precursor chemicals traditionally imported from China.
Recruiters approach students with tempting offers, often after observing them for weeks. Promising salaries of over $800 per month—double the average pay for chemists in Mexican companies—along with potential bonuses like cars or housing, recruiters capitalize on the financial struggles of young professionals.
These “cooks” are tasked with improving fentanyl’s addictive quality and finding alternative synthesis methods to mitigate supply chain disruptions caused by stricter chemical export controls from China and pandemic-induced bottlenecks.
The Times interviewed seven drug “cooks,” three university chemistry students recruited by the Sinaloa cartel, two agents, a recruiter, and a university professor—all anonymously to avoid cartel retaliation.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
