      Man, it would be great if highly-potent fentanyl that could be administered by just skin contact were available to addicts. Think of how many public health problems disappear by eliminating the need to inject. Not to mention you should be able to get very consistent dosing by just counting patches.

      There are fentanyl formulations for patch administration, but they have WAY less potency and are quite niche in application. Not something that has recreational application.

      I don’t know of any drug that makes drug enforcement police less cowardly, though.

      Did the officers in this case do that? I must have missed that part of the article

        They gave medication used for an OD to a dog. Dogs do not react the same to fent, and it would require much more for them to OD on it. So yes, still overreacting to fake incidents. Maybe you should read the post with a bit more skepticism for the people pretending you can OD by touching a plastic bag.

          It was the dog’s owner who indicated the pet was overdosing, and mentioned that it had happened before. I’m not considering anything said by the police in this case.

          Good luck with your grudge though.

            The cops said the lady told them. And we have no reason left to believe them when it comes to fentanyl. This has nothing to do with a grudge, so no reason to get your feelings hurt.
