And it’s everywhere. It’s used as the “razzle dazzle” to add a kick to highs. Fake pills, heroin.
There’s even been a rash of fentanyl overdoses in nyc from marijuana (as reported by the victims). It’s thought that mass produced weed is being grown with plant growth regulators. These make the plant grow big, dense buds. It also makes the plant produce less thc. It’s believe that the plants are then being dusted with fentanyl to replace the lost thc.
- r3trohack3r 4y agoAny references to the marijuana fentanyl problem? I’ve heard versions of this story repeated every few years since the mid 2010s but have never been able to find actual evidence for it.
- John23832 4y agoFrankly, it’s what I’ve heard my delivery weed service carriers. I live in nyc.
- whimsicalism 4y ago> It’s believe that the plants are then being dusted with fentanyl to replace the lost thc. Bah, apocryphal.
- zoklet-enjoyer 4y agoBuuulllllshiiiiiiit. If anything, people would be adding things like jwh18 or newer stuff like delta 8 or 10
- John23832 4y agoBig Fent is more potent/cheaper than those.
- zoklet-enjoyer 4y agoI know. It has been for a decade. But it doesn't make sense
- MavisBacon 4y agomy background is in harm reduction and as far as I know there is no credence to these tales. There are people in the U.S. overblowing the fentanyl situation either to stoke fear for some personal or political benefit or sometimes it's just well-meaning undereducated folks spreading these tales. fentanyl has generally speaking only made its way into the supply of non-opioids like cocaine as the result of contamination, not intentional adulteration. When we talk about fentanyl, in reality what's out there is perhaps some true fentanyl but a lot of fentanyl analogues that are much more potent (lethal dose in the mcg range). Often the people moving heroin are also moving cocaine and other drugs, and using shared surfaces to weigh and cut the product for street use. They aren't properly cleaning surfaces and instruments and thus fentanyl is ending up in all sorts of powdered drugs fentanyl on weed has probably happened in some instances of intentional poisoning of an individual but I'd file this under similar in risk to your child being given an edible, or candy with a razor blade on halloween
