Fentantyl is a synthetic opioid which was ‘first prepared and developed by Dr. Paul Janssen in 1959 under a patent held by his company Janssen Pharmaceutica.’ [1]
It is currently the most prevalent opioid painkiller in what has been coined by harm reduction activists as a ‘toxic street supply’, since 2016 replacing heroin, and has sparked an increasing endemic of overdose mortality in countries across the world. It’s extremely powerful, and it’s threshold dose to overdose varies significantly - depending on whether it’s used with other drugs or not. Meaning a toxicity level to overdose someone can require much less fentanyl if they’re using it in tandem with something like coke, meth, or drinking alcohol.
It’s advisable to avoid mixing substances with fentanyl. If using things like meth, coke, or street supply pressed pills opioid or MDMA, checking your drugs with harm reduction supplies like a fentanyl test strip, or an opioid geared reagent test kit is a measure which can be taken to ensure a fentanyl free dope.
That is, if you are trying to avoid it. Multiple suppliers of fentanyl test strips and reagent test kits can be found online, and they’re relatively cheap. It’s a life saving measure to prevent death.
But for those who are intending to use fentanyl, how is it used?:
The main address here is to people who use drugs who use fentanyl. So how is it normally used? And how can I be safer using it?
Fentanyl from the street supply is mainly sold in brightly coloured, malleable waxy sort of substance and either injected, smoked on tin foil, or crushed into a powder and insuffiated through the nose. Writing from personal experience smoking it, It’s sweetly flavoured and has a hard hit which can create an addiction to the ritual of it as well. Same with IV. The extremely potent hit of opioid painkiller relief is powerful, and the needle itself can become a draw.
Measurement in dosing for this form of the substance is difficult, and testing it through sampling a very small amount of every new bag and batch can prevent overdose. Hotspots, as in portions of your substance with a higher concentration of pure fentanyl can happen.
Always start low before you get mashed, I know that a large portion of users are trying to tip the scales in their high, but consider if that’s worth losing your life over.
How else:
Fentanyl is available in powder form. In pressed pills, often appearing as another painkiller. Like fake Oxy R30s. Cut into other substances of all kinds. It’s available in medical grade patches, sublingual tablets, and lollipops. The patches have been particularly popular in illicit use.
