   While I don't do any of this (nor do I condone it), I happen to know a bit   
   about it.   
      
   It is not an implication. Many fentanyl deaths are due to the user not   
   actually knowing they're taking it. They probably think it's their same old   
   dose of heroin and injest the same amount they normally do. However, when   
   fentanyl is added to it, they're more than likely going to overdose.   
      
   Getting "pure" cocaine or heroin is probably just about impossible these days,   
   no matter what a dealer tells you.   
      
   Example:   
      
   "Cocaine is often cut with various substances to increase profits and may   
   include additives like baking soda, sugar, or more dangerous drugs such as   
   fentanyl, amphetamines, and local anesthetics. This practice can significantly   
   increase the risks associated with cocaine use, including overdose."   
      
   Same can be said about heroin. The main reason is so that the dealer can sell   
   more at a lesser expense to themselves.   
      
   Honestly, I had never heard of fentanyl until it was brought up as involved in   
   Michael Jackson's death, and now it's one of the biggest killers out there as   
   far as drugs are concerned. Go figure .. ?   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick   
      
   ... Sarcasm, because beating people up is illegal.
