    How does cutting something with fentanyl increase profit? Seems like a super risky, dumb thing to do that might kill your customers and also takes more time/effort to do.

    idk
    that's what the VICE News documentary said
    and news
    I don't affiliate with that stuff

    Can something have baking soda, soap, sugar, flour, salt, etc.? Sure.
    Might it have fent? Yes.

    exactly.
    Why do sellers buy it and get caught with having pure large amounts of it? Wouldn't know, I just do blue collar work.
    And given it's said to be produced and come from China, it probably is cheap.
    And probably is covert warfare.
    Reverse opium war.
    A middle-man in the chain may not put it in. Might already be there. They're probably not taking the time or money to perform testing for it.

    There are tweakers that seek it out specifically.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    Back in the day I was the puking drunk guy and would get rides from family members and friends. Now, I will call you an uber but yeah. Fuck all that! My wife has a friend who got divorced 5 years ago or so. She lives three doors down from us. Just after she and her husband separated she rode to the party with us. She got hammered and when it was time to leave I had called her an uber. My wife was like "are you serious". I was like yeah. I am not dealing with all that! I would never consider inserting myself into a situation with most of the people I know let alone a stranger these days.

    Makes it stronger - iirc it is cheaper to produce and acquire and hooks people quicker too.

    I don't recall what they said at first. Nothing of importance or significance worth carving into memory.

    Their friend was doing the talking trying to advocate, babysit, convince for a ride

    I said gotta go to the bathroom, walked away, and disappeared

    Pretty common among people who don’t have a car much less money for a casual Uber

    I didn't even like giving people rides after they had been in an accident and had their car towed. Most of the time it was just off of the highway, I need the whole cab to work especially in a wrecker.

    It's counter productive to revive people who continue to choose to use substances that can be deadly.

    That’s a bit callous. Hope no one in your family is ever affected.

    People are wild. If a person is passed out, IDK what the hell they're on.
    If they're out doing that, they probably are on hard drugs.
    Am not a urinalysis tester.

    like, they're getting abs from the contractions of throwing up?
    Hell yeah brother. Get after it.

    IDK what I saw Florida. Somehow I survived. No regrets.

    I wouldn't associate with a family member who is an addict.
