Is lacing drugs with fentanyl the best way to win the war?
Anthony Jones
Xavier Ross
Bump as I read
Anthony Brown
We talked about this in another thread a few weeks ago. There is objectively no point to lace drugs with fentanyl because of its price. The only reason you'd do it was to kill people
Jace Hill
The best possible explanation is:
>pot market is managed by criminals
>criminals will do whatever they can to turn a profit
>criminals will spray pot with opiates to enhance its flavour
>they will also do so to create a customer base, given opiates are highly addictive
This is in itself an argument for legalization. If pot was legalized, there would be less risks overall.
But the potheads in pic related think that whatever bad happens is not the crimelords. It must be the State!
They have smoked so much they don't accept the sheer fact they are buying from criminals who would do anything to turn a profit.
These dudes will always defend the dude who sells them pot... even if he's an illegal who beats his wife and abuses her kids.

Alcohol was poisoned during prohibition.

>The only reason you'd do it was to kill people
I think that's the point.
Thomas Parker
Actually it's quite competitive on price because it's so strong.

>Fentanyl users in Seattle often complain about how expensive it is. Price quotes vary wildly—people have cited prices from $80 per gram a few years ago up to $300 per gram today. It seems to depend on the month and the buyer's proximity to the source. (These days, the cheaper heroin in Seattle is going for $20 to $30 per gram.)
>Fentanyl is approximately 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine and roughly 40 to 50 times more potent than pharmaceutical grade (100% pure) heroin.[13][14]

>>criminals will spray pot with opiates to enhance its flavour
bullshit opiates have a nasty bitter taste
Julian Phillips
It was being made in bathtubs by hobbyists you dip
Pot and coke is being laced with fent to increase weight you dumb fucking faggots
>muh alternative medicine
Weed and coke aren't medicine
Samuel Roberts
My mother is on prescription fentanyl after she fell down the stairs that were severly out of code and crushed several vertebra.
This scares me. Fuck when Prince died of a fentanyl it scared me. I took her out to dinner the next day.
Connor Diaz
you're a clueless idiot
Nicholas Ortiz
newest drug? I licked fentanyl like 6 years ago
Henry Russell
fentanyl isn't that expensive in relation to it's potency....with a very small dose,you could really stretch heroin...
Wyatt Davis
yeah its from the 60's its only popular now because like everything else, its easier to make with time.
Benjamin Flores
>laced with fent to increase weight
Lethal dose is in the single digit milligram range.
Jose Cook
you are beyond retarded
Julian Ortiz
Also watch out for criminals putting gold bricks inside the stolen DVD players you buy.
"Wait how does that make sense" you ask?
Don't ask questions goy.
Thomas Butler
Whoever wrote the examiner article didn't fact check for shit. My fentanyl lollipops come in micrograms. If I eat more than 2 of them I will most certainly die

Opiate crisis is worsening and normal, cut street heroin isn't cutting it for hardcore junkies anymore, so you're seeing more and more heroin cut with fentanyl. It's a way for dealers a notch or two up the food chain from the street to (relatively cheaply) ”enhance” their product that's already been cut several times, thereby making their smack get a reputation for really fucking you up and driving up demand. Of course your average drug dealer knows jack shit about pharmacology and dosage so you'll occasionally get a batch that causes a whole slew of overdoses in a short period of time because someone put too much of the heavier stuff in a batch.
Problems then arise for opiate newbies that get priced out of their oxys and decide to snort, smoke, or slam heroin for the first time and OD because it's got fentanyl in it. I was never big into opiates when I was a drug person back in college, but it was rare to see fentanyl back then unless you went looking for it. Now it's relatively ubiquitous from what I hear.
This. Try a cold-water extraction on oxy and tell me if that shit's going to enhance flavor of anything. Plus, lacing pot is fucking stupid from an economical standpoint; pot's about the cheapest illicit drug there is and generally street level dealers are just funding their own pot habit with it. If someone's lacing pot with anything, they're probably doing it for themselves.

>fentanyl lollipops
>packaging an extremely potent opiate in a food that is extremely attractive to children
What could possibly go wrong?
Aiden Watson
Well barbiturates and benzodiazepines look like candy. Nobody said pharmaceutical companies had much in the way of foresight for that sort of thing.
Jordan Stewart
Children need painkillers too.
Hunter Edwards
Absolutely nothing Kek, they are even berry flavored. Also when you finish you're even supposed to put the stick and packaging in a plastic back then double bag them.
Ian Harris
Anybody ever see that movie from the late 80's or early 90's where this white supremacist drug gang was lacing their drugs with a chemical that made users sterile? Then they would sell the drugs to blacks and hispanics. I think it had something to do with rollerblading.
Asher Bell
Those things are quite literally QOLsavers.
They're amazing for hospice or remote care, where the patient can manage his own pain with the lollipop. They're not packaged like candy either.
Logan Young
I found it! Prayer of the Rollerboys starring Corey Haim.
Landon Cruz
Sounds like a good reason for me to avoid pot
Matthew Smith
Nobody remembers paraquat?
Good times.
Ryan Edwards
Vaguely. In the end, if that's what it is for some people, opiate OD is not a bad way to go.
Never mind the millions of people already hooked on Big Pharma prescription opiates. People will drug themselves until the end of time, the clever monkeys at the top should just get over it and regulate it as best they can.
