re: Spinoff: fentanyl laced cocaine

In the past or the beginning fentynal was used to cut harder with cocaine and it was killing a lot of people. My understanding is that is mostly gone, but obviously not all drug dealers are genius’s.

My understanding now is that fentynal is so potent that most deaths now are accidentally cutting it. Either by multiple dealers down the line all cutting it, or more likely by fentynal being handled by the same equipment, hands, etc as the cocaine so it’s accidentally cut.

So dealer A barely cuts it. Sells to dealer B. Dealer B has some fentynal to cut his cocaine with on his mixing table, and accidentally splits the cocaine from Dealer A on the the same table as his fentynal, and now a deadly amount is mixed in.

I’ve also read that fentynal can stay on things like dollar bills and when someone uses the dollar bill over and over it can lead to a deadly amount. Idk.
