Hey y'all
Fentanyl seems to be all over the news these days. A number of celebrity deaths have been related to Fentanyl this year. What is the reality of this Fentynal scare?
A lot of the Heroin I've seen in the past few years has been a powdery white/tan substance. I assume that it isn't actually "China White". I have seen it the most while living in NYC but also hears from friends on the West Coast that it is around out there as well. A lot of friends who have habits like to talk about certain batches being "more Fentynaly", or being able to taste the Fentynal in a bag. Is there actually any Fentynal in the Heroin that they are getting?
I have seen the "small dose" of Fentynal that is supposed to be deadly, so it doesn't make sense that any of these friends are actually shooting Fentynal. One hypothesis I had was that it is some synthetic opioid that might not be Heroin or Fentynal. For years I've assumed a lot of the white/tan powdered Heroin was just Fentynal but that doesn't make sense with the "deadly dose". Could the idea of certain batches having more Fentynal or being able to detect a "Fentynaly high" from a shot all be made up? Maybe this is all real Heroin and it's just different cuts that people are noticing?
The same goes for Xanax to some extent. I've purchased a good amount of pressed bars over the years and never experienced Fentynal in them. Have I just gotten lucky?
Is the media overhyping this whole Fentynal thing? Or is it really very dangerous? Maybe I've just been lucky enough to not get any bags/xans with Fentynal in them. It is a little bit scary to think about, but doesn't seem like a huge reality having not experienced it after years of use.
Any input is appreciated!
