Cops and pretending to OD on fent by simply touching a container.
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.
Fentanyl patches are most definitely a thing, but they aren't given out much anymore, AFAIK. People do use them recreationally, but normally by chewing on small bits of the patch or smoking it somehow. It is super dangerous and I have heard of many people ODing that way, because the patches have time released dosages on them.
I knew a kid in high school that had stomach cancer and was prescribed fentanyl patches. He would trade the patches to junkies for weed, because he hated them. This was before medical marijuana so doctors were still throwing out opiates at everything.
I think that you are right that the patches are less potent when used correctly, but addicts aren't doing that when they get their hands on them. I think they have definitely cut down on giving them out nowadays, though.
You cut the patches up and chew on them to release the fetty faster than it would be released transdermally.
A container that may or may not contain anything resembling fent.
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.

Or so I've heard...
