Even though almost everyone knows that Fentanyl is in all street drugs and how it can kill you. So why do they still take the chance?

[sage2021]

It doesn't even make sense for them to die because they've just lost a repeat customer. Can anyone please explain this to me? Thank you.

I found out yesterday that my boyfriend died from fentanyl poisoning. Another one bites the dust.

Because drug dealers are trying to make as money off their product as possible so they will cut it with any substance they can including rat posion.

Fentanyl poses an exceptionally high overdose risk in humans, since the amount required to cause toxicity is unpredictable. In its pharmaceutical form most overdose deaths attributed solely to fentanyl occur at serum concentrations at a mean of 0.025 µg/mL, with a range 0.005–0.027 µg/mL. In contexts of poly-substance use, blood fentanyl concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities. Over 85% of overdoses involved at least one other drug, and there was no clear correlation showing at which level the mixtures were fatal. The dosages of fatal mixtures varied by over three magnitudes in some cases. This extremely unpredictable volatility with other drugs makes it especially difficult to avoid fatalities

Fentanyl has started to make its way into heroin as well as illicitly manufactured opioids and benzodiazepines. Fentanyl contamination in cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, and other drugs is common. A kilogram of heroin laced with fentanyl may sell for more than US$100,000, but the fentanyl itself may be produced far more cheaply, for about US$6,000 per kilogram. While Mexico and China are the primary source countries for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States, India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals. The United Kingdom illicit drug market is no longer reliant on China, as domestic fentanyl production is replacing imports.

Drug dealers don't care.. if one dies there are plenty more people to turn on to it :P
And as a society I think the more idiots that die from fentanyl the better..
One of my high school friends already died from it and she had 3 kids..

I get why this is confusing to you. Cartels lace many drugs with Fentanyl because it's HIGHLY addictive more so then the drug they're combining it with. Lacing the drug with Fentanyl increases the likelihood of a repeat customer. But the problem is the purity factor is a issue with Fentanyl. Considering it's about a 100 times more potent than morphine It's very easy to get the dosage wrong and kill thier customer. Cartels do not care about thier customers. They're willing to take the gamble that it kills them. I mean c'mon the FDA is not going to recall thier product.😆

The addicts are so addicted that they just take the risk and hope that fentanyl isn’t it, but the drug dealers don’t care if their customers die because there’s so many more around afterwards and who knows if even the government cares because it’s just killing off junkies but unfortunately it’s mixed in with other things that look like candy

@Likes2drive
Let me ask you something ok? If the drug dealer lives in an apartment across the street and they sell meth to someone that died from it, shouldn't the authorities investigate and arrest the person that inadvertently killed the person?

[Likes2drive]

Yeah of course, they probably do but it’s hard to find out who gave it to them

[HippoDino]

I mean everyone knows what meth, heroin, cocaine, etc but that doesn't stop them. So why stop just cuz they add fentanyl? These people clearly don't care about their life that much, or dont have the capacity to think about the outcomes of their actions.

Kids never think they will be the ones to die. Junkies just want to get high regardless of the risks

[sage2021]

@exitseven
It's not only kids, my friend that died was 65!

[exitseven]

I did not know he ODd

[sage2021]

@exitseven
We still do know for sure as we haven't received the corners report. I don't know if he was one of the people who got a taste of Fentanyl. It's in everything now. But he was always a risk taker.

[Anonymous]

Government manufacturing it and mixing it with stuff to reduce the population

[FunkyMonkee]

The got that junky monkey on their back and need the fix.

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee
So, basically once you do meth you do it until you die or go to rehab?

[FunkyMonkee]

Whatever drug it is. So far, from what I've heard, grass is the safest and best drug for you. It gets you high, it has lots of benefits and, it doesn't addict you. I can't really say that about any other drug. Acid might not be addictive but, it doesn't really have any benefits.
But, basically, these people want and, sometimes, HAVE to have their drug of choice and just don't seem to care enough to check if it's good or tainted.

[sage2021]

@funkymonkey
I was told they can test it before smoking it. True?

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm sure there's SOME way.
My guitarist was killed by it, too. I think he was only 36.

[jahaims]

Do you not know what addiction is? Depending on what drug it is, it is safe to just buy test strips. You can safely aquire plenty of drugs if you know what you are doing.

[Surely]

• I feel if they are using by choice. And they want to end their life by taking that chance. Then far be it from me to give them Narcan or try and say their life.

[Fuentes]

Druggie are. gonna drug it's the addiction they created I'm their brain once they get a taste ain't no coming back at alll

[sage2021]

@Fuentes
They do this until they die. Right?

[Fuentes]

The first hit of it could kill them

[DextroShade]

I wouldn't go near pressed pills or any white powders, but the weed, shrooms, and acid are still ok.

[Alex8736]

It's like Russian roulette

[shades777]

addiction, also some people want to die but slowly

[jimmy2]
