- refurb 8y agoMost of the opioids are from illicit sources. Or at least the opioids that are killing people. It’s a real challenge. 1 gram of fentanyl, which would be easy to disguise in the mail, is equal to 10,000 doses. Carfentanyl is 50-100x more potent.
- meowface 8y agoThis seems to specifically be aimed at detecting fentanyl and its derivatives, which doctors rarely prescribe.
