Could be. I'd maybe buy into that given my "experience" as detailed earlier on this thread (with extracted pharmaceutical Fentanyl freebase that is). Cannot say I regret that it turned out the way it did though i.e. last problem I need on my plate is enjoying a Fentanyl high or having a Fentanyl addiction!
One thing I can attest to though (and I've read about this many times in different places): depending on the ROA Fentanyl doesn't hit you. Until it does. That's my (limited) experience and, as I say, based on quite a few posts I've read over the months on this very issue. It's not like crack (for example) where the effect is almost instantaneous. Or even powdered Cocaine for that matter. Seems to me that with Fentanyl (patches anyway): your first attempt appears to be almost benign and you're left wondering "what is all the hype about" which inevitably leads you to dose more, then still not much happens, then dose more, and, well, by the time it no longer feels benign you could very well already have crossed the magic line in the sand.
Anyway. I keep saying I probably shouldn't be posting on this thread given my NO experience with opiates so I'll try butt out. Just love talking about this shit I guess is all i.e. it fascinates me for some inexplicable reason. Still and this being said: nothing I'd fuck with or take lightly. Not with what I know NOW anyway.
