Do you understand that they make fentanyl patches for absorbing it through your skin? What probably happened is someone scraped the fentanyl off a bunch of those. In the video, the cop mentions a white powder. If stuck your finger in a bag of scraped fentanyl residue, I'm sure that it could cause a person to collapse. It turns out that scraping the fentanyl off patches is actually something people do. The patches are designed to release the payload over time. The flow of fent is limited by a membrane, and you can get a potent fentanyl substance if you remove that. I'm detecting an extreme bias against the police here. Every liberal expert with a PhD that they quote in this article seems to have 500 reasons why fentanyl is actually not even capable of hurting someone. The article also suggests that fentanyl is really just an excuse to persecute minorities. But the reality is that these communities have an underlying problem that the police themselves did not create. Remember when they found out George Floyd had fentanyl in his system when he died? They got some politically motivated doctor to testify that there's no way fentanyl could have played a role in his death. I think that is where this "scientific fentanyl apologism" argument originates from.

A Duragesic patch (aided by it's delivery compounds) begins to take effect after continuous contact of one to two hours. > If stuck your finger in a bag of scraped fentanyl residue, I'm sure that it could cause a person to collapse. I accept that you are sure of that but it isn't true. First, the evidence is that acquiring bulk fentanyl powder from China is much, much easier than domestically acquiring stacks of heavily controlled patches. Second there's a reason why actual medical experts repeatedly call bunk on LEO claims of instant topical OD. It's because instantaneous effect from momentary contact isn't how fentanyl works. Nor is 'sudden, unheralded collapse' the likely first symptom of a fentanyl OD. What is more likely is that blaming fentanyl (against expert medial wisdom) for collapsing deputies is a symptom of an overly heightened LEO imagination. > Remember when they found out George Floyd had fentanyl in his system when he died? I suspect that 11 ng/ml of fentanyl (a non-lethal amount) in Floyd's blood is not what caused a cop to spend several minutes suffocating him.

I utilize a compound that passes other molecules through the skin. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes just to reach the muscles and blood vessels below the derma. It would then have to travel to the lungs. I would expect at least an hour or probably more if this were occurring. Even then you would have to rub it over a decent area of skin.
