Fentanyl is bad for business. It apparently kills people and is being used to cut both meth and heroin, according to the government.
I chose that picture as the main one because I wanted you to get it engrained in your head that 2000 micrograms is a fatal dose. The opioid user can tolerate a rumored 2 to 3 times that.
The next picture I will show you is the conversion of that many micrograms in grams instead.
So let’s say, being generous, .006 grams of fentanyl will kill an opioid user with a tolerance.
We are being told through media that the product is being imported from Mexico and it’s potent enough to kill you because of the fentanyl content.
No Dealer Wants Their Client Dead
Any drug dealer knows that fentanyl overdosed are bad for business. Can’t have a repeat customer that is spending money if they are dead. There is just no motive for anyone to be putting a lethal amount of fentanyl in dope or pills.
Then the media throws out the idea that they are cutting it with fentanyl to make it more profitable.
The Math Involved with Fentanyl Overdoses
Let’s do some street math real quick. Meth and heroin along with pills are normally bought in grams, or milligrams in the pills case.
Let’s say for example a gram of meth is $100 on the street. That’s 1.000 grams of methamphetamine. Follow so far? Good.
To think a dealer would try to maximize his profits for one by killing his customers or two, putting a less than fatal amount of fentanyl to get the user higher, doesn’t make the quantity of your stash larger.
Baby laxative and ephedrine were common cutting agents of cocaine where you could see double the amount of product.
No one is going to pay extra for 1.002 grams of methamphetamine. That extra .002, since the dealer wouldn’t be telling them it was in there, would add a whole .002 of $100 to the total amount.
By weight standards, the dealer would have added $0.20 to the amount of the bag. A whole 20 cents.
Fentanyl Overdoses Don’t Make Sense
This is why none of this makes sense. The amount that can kill you is shown in pictures as an extremely low amount of what I would see as specks of dust.
Something is wrong here. Someone’s lying to us. The media isn’t stepping in to say something doesn’t make sense here, and the DEA is on board with the fentanyl poisoning bandwagon.
Something just isn’t right in the drug world anymore.
Thanks for reading.
If you are interested in psychology by chance, head on over to one of my colleagues sites practicalpsychology.com It’s got some great info on there for anyone looking to expand their interest in the field. I do content writing for them along with my work here on Medium. Gotta spread my wings!
Later guys and gals.~ <3
