Companies in China spawn fentanyl precursors for cartels
During the portion of his "Conversation with the Candidate" town hall that aired exclusively online, Republican Francis Suarez detailed his plan to combat the opioid epidemic gripping New Hampshire and the country. Suarez said he'd encourage leaders
to think "long and hard" about China's most-favored-nation status given the fact that companies in China spawn fentanyl precursor chemicals, which end up in the hands of cartels in the western hemisphere.
Suarez said he'd move to label drug cartels as terrorist organizations and also added that he'd support sending troops to target cartels in Mexico, but that his administration would be collaborating with
Mexico on that endeavor. "We're not going to invade Mexico," Suarez said. "I just don't see that as a realistic option."

Federal cannabis policy needs to catch up with the states
[On marijuana]: "Federal policy on cannabis needs to catch up with the will of the American people and the 40 states which have legalized medical and/or adult use,"
Suarez wrote. "If congressional leaders can't find a responsible path to ending prohibition, deferring to state policy for regulating cannabis is the best solution."
