It doesn't. Even making the generous assumption that the DEA is being honest here, what constitutes a lethal dose for a non-user may be substantially less than what constitutes a lethal dose for a heavy-using addict.
- mikeyouse 3y agoIn college I worked in a hospital where one of the nurses was abusing fentanyl by taking the 'waste' and ordering doses for patients and not administering it. Eventually people caught on and confronted her, she offered to take a toxicology test to prove her innocence so they drew her blood. She was completely coherent, you would have a hard time knowing that she was the least bit altered, but she had something like 550mcg in her system. For a patient of her size with no tolerance, they'd likely administer 50mcg or 100mcg for regional anesthesia. It's crazy how much tolerance can build.
- tomcam 3y agoI’m incredibly fat (300 lbs) but they never have problems knocking me out with a light dose because I have zero experience with recreational drugs or alcohol. They need to up the dosage substantially for heavy weed users. Intellectually I would love to know how it affects her. Does she require ever-increasing doses? Did the first time put her to sleep? Is her driving impaired? So many questions…

- cdelsolar 3y agoHmm, there are definitely fatters.
- RajT88 3y agoFamously, a lot of Rock N' Roll overdoses are from former users who took a break, and then administered the dose they always recalled using, and then die from overdose. That's how much tolerance can build. Last one of these I read about was the singer to GWAR.
