Reply to comment by Badloss in Three arrested with 100 pounds of fentanyl in Mattapan apartment, DA says by FuriousAlbino

Yes it’s 100% possible to use safely. When administered by a doctor in a medical setting. On the street no not safe even when being careful because you don’t know the strength. It’s so widely used by dealers because it’s extremely cheap and easy to order from Chinese chemical distributors. You can buy $20,000 worth and make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling it.

Users don’t care because it gets them really high and keeps the withdrawals away.

It’s toxic and deadly if ingested. But it’s a myth that skin contact can kill you.

Don’t tell that to all of the cops who have “overdosed” from reaching into a suspects pocket and pulled out an open bag. There was a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that basically obliterated the notion that all of these cops were overdosing and the police union clapped back by essentially saying that police would never lie, and therefore the study was just an attempt to downplay the heroic actions of these poor cops. Strange times.

That's not true. Fentanyl reacts with cop DNA to produce a reaction that presents exactly the same as a panic attack and can only be reversed was shooting 6 doses of narcan up the nose.

I generally support the police. They have tough jobs. But yeah that’s debunked 100%.
