Any consensus on the reason for cutting with fentanyl?

More addictive, keeps them coming back. Bit yea, less money in the end for them so it makes no sense.

I don’t really get it. You’re risking killing your customers.

On another note, I’ve had fentanyl once, in a hospital setting, and I’m not gonna lie, it was fricking amazing. Too amazing though. I can see why people would chase that high, unfortunately.

As a drug dealer, you want your product to be as strong as possible for as cheap as possible. The low level dealers aren’t the ones cutting heroin with fentanyl or fentanyl analogs. It’s the folks that are selling kilos and those that are making fake pressed pills that are using a fent analog to make the pills and cut the dope.

Seen a poster talking about receiving medical fentanyl and let me tell you, medical Fent has nothing on real heroin, especially black tar or east coast drugs powder as far as the feelings of euphoria.


I hate fentanyl and fentanyl analogues. They have completely ruined the drug game. From fake percs and Roxie’s to weighing/ cutting coke on the same surfaces and cross contaminating. Don’t even get me started on cutting dope with tranquilizers smh. You can’t even get high these days without having someone around you with Narcan just in case.

Most people will point to money, which is part of it but not the whole story.

Potent drugs like fentanyl are also a trafficker's dream since due to their potency they require much smaller volumes of drugs to be moved across borders. When 1/100th of the volume gives the same efficacy it makes their life easier.

While one might think even addicts would be actively avoiding fentanyl the hard core addicts actually seek it out because they get more bang for their buck at least initially.

But there is a new wave coming. Polysubstance use has been around forever (classic example is an 8 ball) the new "high" is fentanyl mixed with benzos. It is a whole other level of high and a whole other level of OD danger but hard core addicts are now seeking it out. I don't understand the mindset but benzodope and tranq are the next big thing on the streets. "Tranq" is Xylazine laced drugs.

Fentanyl is a lot cheaper. And it’s in all drugs now. Fentanyl is not more addictive in fact most with substance abuse disorders don’t like it because even though the high is faster it wears off a lot faster

They started out cutting it with shitty Mexican grown heroin. The Mexican grown poppy wasn’t strong enough so they boosted it with Fentanyl. Once the found out you could get super addicts game on.

are cutting your various choices of speed narcotics with fent?

They aren’t. It’s almost always cross contamination. No drug dealer wants his coke clients getting fentanyl in their blow.
Now mixing it with opiates/heroin is a different story.

This is why I just stick with weed. Don’t have to worry about OD’ing.

I’m certain it’s been touched upon, but might I bother any of you to offer any reasonable theories on why dealers are cutting your various choices of speed narcotics with fent? And unbeknownst to the customer, at that. Intentionally so.

As you all know well, the speeds and fentanyl net the consumer completely opposite effects. It’s like someone cutting your lortab (hydrocodone) with meth. It don’t make no sense damn it. Why the hell would allow the potential loss of return customers? I’m no expert, but that doesn’t strike me as a prudent business model.

From what I've read and watched, fentanyl is ridiculously addictive and it's potent in the tiniest of doses. Those deep in their opioid addictions find out someone has died due to a fentanyl OD and they will flock to that dealer to buy. The mindset is "that must be some good shite if it's enough to kill people" (translation: "there must be more fentanyl per gram/ounce/whatever than normal and I want a chance at that bigger, stronger high regardless if it may kill me").

It's a completely irrational thought to those not addicted to opioids, but the minds of addicts look at reality from a different angle. So for the dealer dealing to the heavily addicted, that people are OD'ing from their drugs because there's too much fentanyl is like a giant neon sign to buyers and it says "THIS DEALER HAS GOOD shite!!"

In most cases the products are being unintentionally contaminated except for heroin itself. It makes no sense to cut meth or cocaine with fentanyl. The amount of fentanyl that would be added as a cutting agent would be next to nothing.
