I'm confused.  Who is buying it and not dying?

I can't stand how stupid this all is. Fentanyl is really bad sh*t in the wrong dose. Me measure it in MCG for hospital use.

But the fear that these people try to generate from it for non drug users... Like it's going to march down the street and kill your entire family.

My god these people are nothing but fear mongers. I've been sick of it for years, but it just gets worse every day.

Cop Confused After Pouring Fentanyl On Wife Doesn't Do Anything
Published February 1, 2023
Fark user imageView Full Size
FISHERS, IN-With his effort failing to result in the instant death he'd expected, local cop Bryce McDermott expressed confusion Wednesday after he poured fentanyl on his wife and nothing happened. "I don't understand-all the guys at work told me that any skin contact with this stuff will immediately kill you," said the eight-year law enforcement veteran, who had left his house after yet another fight with his wife, seized some fentanyl powder from a police department evidence locker, and returned to throw it on her-only to find that it had no effect besides making her extremely angry and scared. "What the fark? They told me this was, like, 100 times stronger than the lethal amount. And this farking biatch has some on her arms and even her face, and it doesn't do anything? Goddammit, I had it all planned out. It was going to be the perfect crime, and now what? This is supposed to be the most dangerous substance on earth, for fark's sake. Now what the hell am I going to do with this stupid broad? Someone must have slipped her the antidote!" At press time, sources confirmed the fentanyl had immediately killed the police officer after he merely touched it.

The article says that 2 mg is a fatal dose. I guess that 1.5 mg will get you as high as needed. One aspirin tablet is 325 mg. One 325 mg tab of fentanyl has 216 fun doses or 162 fatal doses. I don't see how it is possible to stop the trafficking of such small volumes. Marijuana smugglers back in the day had to smuggle the equivalent of a bale of hay. A carrier pigeon could carry a thousand doses easy; we may have to employ DEA falcons.
I got an IV dose of fentanyl before a medical procedure. I made me lethargic before I was under. Not really fun. I am unlikely to prostitute myself to get more.

In the end, I don't think how much fentanyl is seized at the border is going to make a difference.  Plenty is probably getting through now and before.  And if it's not fentanyl it will just be some other drug. Maybe the Congress critters should also be talking to their constituents and advise them to stop overdosing on fentanyl.  After all, isn't the GOP the party of personal responsibility.

most (>99%) people who overdose on fentanyl don't do it intentionally - they do it because they're being sold an adulterated product.

It would be good to know what the percentage of fentanyl is in the tablets we see photos of. Who is determining the dosage? Have the cops ever found pure uncut fentanyl? The article forgot to point out that it's coming through legal broader crossings.

Sorta the whole rub about the subject is how subjective it is. Everyone wants to go no further than their own point of view. I had it once and didn't like it is just one view point.

There's a reason it's being found I'm such massive quantities. It is powerful and super cheap to make. People become addicted and quickly develop a tolerance requiring more and more to get high. The stuff can easily kill people in smaller than expected amounts.

It's becoming the lead drug of choice among the homeless. People are getting killed by it at a much greater rate.

People are losing interest in meth and "bath salts", weed is getting legalized state by state, and the media hasn't given a shiat about cocaine in decades. Gotta keep the scaremongering going to try and keep people from starting to ask why people get addicted to drugs in the first place!
