The thing cops made up is that breathing in or touching fentanyl will kill you.

That said, it’s still a very strong opioid, and very cheap. This leads to overdoses when dealers cut their product with it and lie about what it actually is, as well as when users take a similar amount of fentanyl that they would to other opioids not realizing that it’s much stronger.

I’m more talking about folks getting bags of something cut w fent, then being injected or snorted and dying. Or fake pills pressed w fent, that sorta stuff. The whole 'touch three grains of fent and drop dead instantly" is horseshit, tho.
