Have any of you heard about Furanyl fentanyl?

[Laffy Kat]

This is terrifying. I have a young relative who is an opioid addict and I am so scared for her. Spread the word!

1. Isn't the stuff that's so deadly if you touch it you die?

[Laffy Kat]

3. Yes! nt

2. Dealers want stronger, more potent/concentrated opioids because theyre easier to hide/transport

Another rousing success for the drug war!

7. Then they'll only have one-time users if they kill them with this stuff.

13. Im not suggesting its a well-thought out business strategy.

My only point is, what weve been doing on our end to fight it - the drug war- doesn't seem to work.

I lean towards a public health/harm reduction approach towards things like opiates, but I dont have all the answers either.

8. Then they'll only have one-time users if they kill them with this stuff.

4. ...Jesus Christ.

I'd wager it'll be in my apartment building by summer, presuming it isn't already. I get the REAL winners around here.

5. Destroying your customer base is bad business.

6. .

10. The danger stated is not hyperbole. It does kill by touch.

Surely it's not widespread and will hopefully stay that way. I do think we should spread the word. If that's me over-reacting, so be it.

[RedWedge]

11. It does?

I couldn't find any reports of someone who died from touching furanyl.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Yes.

12. Questions about a drug or its effects and/or dangers?

I'd recommend the vaults at https://www.erowid.org
Fentanyl-

Daily Mail is a terrible resource for just about anything.
