I recall reading it's several orders of magnitude more potent and its typical use is elephant tranquilizer. Far higher potency means it's easy for a small mistake in measurement to result in a really high dose. I would imagine that seems risky even to people accustomed to heroin.
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoI don't think heroin users get a choice. My understanding is a lot of the street supply is already cut with fentanyl.
- Applejinx 6y agoRecovering addict here, couple decades clean: yes, that's been true for years. If you are in touch with the using-addict population, for instance you're in recovery and participate in meetings, you'd be certain of this. It's weird when maybe a double-digit percentage of the people you know, wind up dead (and this is before covid). When you include people you know, upset because people THEY know have overdosed and died, then yeah: the effects of fentanyl are pretty damn apparent. People will not be addicts cautiously. Even if they think that's what they're being, they're mistaken.

- moistly 6y ago> its typical use is elephant tranquilizer Which leads me to ask: how many flippin’ elephants are being tranquilized, that we need so much of this stuff being manufactured?! Poor creatures.
