Fentanyl is commonly sold in place of heroin with 'spacers' that are (hopefully) non-active compounds like talc or something else to mimic the difference in mass between fentanyl and heroin. Or heroin is 'boosted' by adding fentanyl to make it seem more potent/pure.
The problem with fentanyl is the dosage is in the micro-gram range which is why so many opiate addicts die from it. You simply can't gauge the dosage with such a powerful compound with any sort of accuracy.
- bfuller 10y agoThis is patently false. Volumetric dosing is easy for even the most brain dead drug dealer to figure out. 1g furanylfentanyl in 1000ml of liquid, you can easily dose out 1ml=1mg The problem is again with education. When heroin addicts are getting stuff cut with fentanyl, they fall out because they do not know what dose they are taking. If you know how much you are taking, these fent analogs can (and have been for years) be used quite safely)
