Yeah, there are lots of bullshit stories avout fentanyl that are completely implausible given the actual effects of fentanyl, and the vast majority of them are direct deliberate police political propaganda, and most of the rest are paranoid misinterpretations of events from people (mostly themselves street cops) whose understanding of the universe is shaped by being immersed in deliberate police propaganda.

Uhh sure. What are the actual effects? Have you tried it?

I’m all for calling a pig a pig. Let me know.

Are you saying that fetanyl is no more deadly than heroin?

(Also, if anything, the whole “illegal substance flying in a person’s face” thing comes from comedy movies… Is this what you’re saying is untrue?)

Yeah they’re talking about cops that got some fentanyl on their hand and thought they were having an overdose when really it was just a panic attack. I’ve read a couple of news articles where something along those lines happened.
