Fentanyl's Presence in Non-Opioid Drugs: A Deliberate Choice by Dealers

Lewis, a former drug dealer, believes that the adulteration of drugs like cocaine and cannabis with fentanyl is not accidental. He explains that dealers intentionally lace drugs with fentanyl to create a stronger and more addictive high, luring customers to come back for more. This tactic resembles an old practice in which dealers laced cocaine with heroin to keep customers hooked on their product. Lewis also shares that fentanyl has become prevalent in various drugs, including synthetic cannabinoids, such as K2, amplifying the risks for users. He highlights the callousness and lack of consciousness surrounding the drug trade today, emphasizing the urgent need for speaking openly about the dangers and helping others avoid his path of addiction.
