Overdoses caused by cocaine laced with Fentanyl

There's been a huge amount of overdoses in the last week or so across Ontario.
I live in some small town of 10,000 residents.
Someone died yesterday.
I didn't know him personally but we do have 110 mutual Facebook Friends.
The whole town is practically in a state of panic. ?
I'm situated between 2 major cities, there has been an insane amounts of overdoses from cocaine laced with Fentanyl.
I really don't understand why or how the drugs are laced. ?
It's just so messed up, doing drugs always carries risks but so many deaths could've been avoided!
Is this also an issue as of recently in your area as well?
 
How horrible :( unfortunately, that's the risk we take when using street drugs... But we really haven't had that in my area. I work for Fire/Rescue and I haven't been to many overdoses at all, it's actually quite rare tbh (which is a good thing). I work part-time at another department and it's rare in that county as well.

Be safe,

Chris
 
Definitely is the risk we take. :(
I think that's what makes it so tragic, basically poisoning our bodies.
I'm particularly worried about the laced cocaine cause, I've never used any opioids drugs. Not even prescription pain killers.
Scares me too much.
I took tylenol extra strength after a major surgery. ?

Not sure about the stimulant scene and fent but it doesn't surprise me in the least.
Yes... fent is rampant in the US (in regard to opies, benzos, H) and getting worse. All one has to do is type fent related ODs/deaths in most any search engine and one will find plenty to be worried about....
Drug subculture has always carried risks... these risks rise daily.
 
I did fentynal one time. Had no opiate tolerance.

The guy sold me a 25 mg patch. I put that mug on and was gone for three days.

So surprised I didn’t die.

He died tho. Ran from the cops on a motorcycle and blunt force trauma to the head.

Exactly what worries me.
Never taken opiates so I have no tolerance.
My boyfriend tells me every weekend, that he's scared I'll get some coke laced with Fentanyl and die.
The news are already calling it 'the deadly cocaine batch' :o
 
I'm actually sorta of naive cause until yesterday I felt like the laced drugs was more of an urban legend.
It's actually happening now. ?

Yea, it happens apparently. Not much you can do about it outside of testing your drugs.

I guess so! The thing is

Yeah, I guess so.
Never seen it happen around here though.
I guess it's a really bad batch circulating right now.
About 30 fatalities in 6 days in Eastern Ontario from cocaine laced with Fentanyl.

Don't do any coke for a couple of weeks (certainly not sourced from your area)- in that time research and buy a good reagent which tests for fentanyl

Funny thing I posted this a while ago.
I did some recently and I haven't felt right since. I feel psychically sick but I'll live.
I haven't heard about any new laced cocaine overdoses lately.
I still need to start making better life choices lol.

It totally depends how strong the stuff is, for example my last dealer before I got clean used to cut regular dope for this guy and knew how to make fake shit. So he used that same technique and cooked up fent into pebbles. It was anywhere from 6-17% fentanyl. I first used it when I could no longer afford oxy80's and had a tolerance of about 120-200mg oxy per day. i got .5g of the 6%fent stuff and that lasted me about 5 days, I'd take 6-8 INCREDIBLY small tokes off foil throughout the day, I'm talking little wisps. The problem is that there's no telling what percentage of the coke is cut unless its tested so realistically even if your opiate tolerant it could just be a huge amount cut in or even just a bit more then you can handle and you end up dead. I only continued buying off the guy because he made it the same each time and It was always the same strength. still dangerous ofcourse which is why I'm currently 22 days clean
 
But if your a heavy opiate user it would take more then youd think to kill you, I smoked fent for 3+ years knowingly and because I knew it was fent I never used alone or without my 3 narcan kits and never once had an OD or even close. Even tho I smoked all day I wrote down each single toke and kept track of my use since day one because I have OCD with organization. Dont get me wrong I went overboard some day but never did more then a gram I'm a 24hr period. The 6% fent stuff I was getting was in my experience about 3-4 times stronger then traditional Afghan #4 brown powder or pebbles heroin. which is why I needed less then .025g to get well and about .2-3 for an entire evening of getting high
 
Op can I ask what city u are referring to? I'm from Ontario as u can probably tell by my username lol. Terrible that fentanyl is showing up in non opioid drugs. At least there's some logic behind it being in heroin. A vast majority of the people who use it will more likely than not have an opioid tolerance. But with coca in there's a very good chance someone with 0 opioid tolerance will ingest that cocaine. Terrible
 
What's really weird is that I've not heard of anything to do with laced coke in Toronto. Closest laced coke has been Whitby.

I'm guessing it may be a function of smaller-volume dealers fucking up (either accidentally or purposefully).
 
Why on earth are dealers cutting their drugs with Fentanyl in North America? dont they understand how deadly it is? Don't they want their customers to return or something?? We don't have this problem in the UK at all or even in the rest of Europe for that matter. Can't they use a different cutting agent thats not deadly? In the UK Coke is mostly cut with benzocaine or novocaine. If I lived in Canada or the US I'd be too scared to buy drugs off the street, the risk is too damn high!!!
 
I just read an article that was an investigation on why coke is turning up laced with fent. I will try to find it and post it here. What they believe is that it is getting cross-contaminated during production or shipment. It's not the street dealers, it is happening because they are doing things like weighing out kilos of fent cut heroin and coke on the same scales without cleaning them. Fent and especially carfentanil are so powerful that the LD50 is in micrograms.

Yes. The problem is you have no idea how much fent is in your dope from a street dealer, and it is not mixed evenly. So even if one time doesn't kill you, the next dose from the same batch might.

If you use opiates or coke, spend the money and get a box of test strips from DanceSafe. Don't die because you wouldn't spend $25 on test strips.
