Several BLers have noted this. Carfentanil has been tested at lower doses and it's elimination half-life is only about twice that of fentanyl. BUT I'm wondering it their is a 2-phase curve i.e. when you go above a certain dose, that half-life goes up drastically.
Because obviously no dealer WANTS a drug that people can take only once a day. I thought the whole point of fentanyl WAS it's short duration of action meant that people needed more doses every day.
Their haven't been enough human studies of carfentanil BUT one carefentanil metabolite IS active. Their simply isn't much data because it's never been approved for human use.
So your information IS very valuable.
As for the dealers, legs and quality, or the lack of, is a double edged sword. Good dope sells it self.
If the kids are pumping shit with no legs, the customers bail and find another corner. Therefore equaling large profit losses.
So for the person who is responsible for that corner, it’s a fine line of putting shit out that people want and desire, but still turns a hefty profit. The average junkie needs to cop atleast once a day. But that average junkie is always gonna try to seek out the best, longest lasting high for their dollar.
In the end, it’s really just basic retail economics. Good products always sell better than garbage. Even though fent is garbage. But what can a junkie do when the market is cornered? Quit or die trying.
The long term goal (for the cartels and likely even the government to some level) is more people hooked on the cheapest to make super opioid, the better for profit margins.
It’s fucked when you sit back and think about it.
Anyway, stay good
Fair winds and following seas
