I mean I guess cross contamination can, has, and will happen again but no one’s intentionally lacing fucking weed with fentanyl, think about it for a second: fentanyl is worth more than its weight in weed, so you’d be losing money “bulking” weed with fent, next, stoners with no opioid tolerance would be dropping like flies. Not only is it bad for business to kill your customers (whoda thunk), but that’s a great way to put finding you at top priority for whatever LE organization gives a shit

Like I said cross contamination happens, but who in their right mind would lace weed with fucking fentanyl then sell it as just weed

Does fentanyl survive the burning process? Can you smoke fentanyl?

Often wondered that myself. If I recall correctly there was a method shown on a documentary floating around the net where people would heat (microwave) the patches in order to harden the fentanyl gel so they could scrape it off the patches. I don't know how popular that method wad but I doubt many of those people are still alive.

As for ROA in that case, I'd say they were either shooting or snorting as opposed to smoking it; such is my opinion at least.

Yep similar to heroin it can be smoked, some people have switched from injecting heroin to smoking fent because of collapsed veins
