Fentanyl in cocaine

Some have commented that there may be fentanyl in illicit cocaine.

I've done some research on it mostly because it sounds like just more drug users mythology.


I have been posting here for years with the purpose of dispelling drug myths. The truth. Even in this new age, is still important.

Now it makes little sense for anyone to "lace" cocaine with a strong opiate but at lower vending levels, who knows what goes through peoples minds.

So far, although I have encountered a few anecdotal recounts of er visits and the like, it appears that this is a myth.

No "amateur pharmacist" has the capacity to safely mix two psychoactive powders where one has an exceptionally high potency.

This IS being done with heroin and counterfeit hydrocodone or oxymoron pills.

A possibility is that bricks of cocaine are being inadvertently tainted by fentanyl in clandestine shipments but it is unlikely that such contamination would cause any widespread health problems.


Speaking of that, be aware that the covid virus may live on "dry" cocaine for an undetermined length of time.

The normal roa being what it is, a user might introduce this virus directly to the mucosa while in the process of irritating those tissues.

As the pandemic gets worse and extends to Mexico, Peru, Bolivia and those regions the danger is not trivial.

Fentanyl and cocaine.....get your ups and downs at once. Smh

Man they are putting that shit in a lot of fake mexican pills. Fake blue M 30's with fentanyl are super common on the street now, a buddy had a girlfriend overdose on what she thought was a xanax bar but was a fake and had fentanyl among other shit. Cocaine, sure I can see it since it would add one hell of a dopamine receptor kick. Problem is the "chocolate chip cookie" effect, you get a cookie with extra chips and that fentanyl can easily be too much. It's such a tiny amount of fentanyl thats required to cause an OD and if you ever ever seen them pressing fake pills it's just a bunch of powder they mixed up on a cookie sheet with a card. Not real scientific. lol

Oxymoron pills? Gotta love that autocorrect

Hard drugs can contain anything! Of course some cocaine is laced with fentanyl, look at what happened to Jim Belushi dude, ever hear of a speed ball? By choosing to use that stuff you put your life in the hands of dozens/hundreds of shady characters whose only interest is making money, especially by reducing the amount of actual cocaine in the final product-cheap Chinese fentanyl would work great in this case.

You mean John Belushi, and he didn't die of fentanyl overdose. Man, I was dealing coke in LA at the time. That was way back when. I used to wonder if there was any relationship with the shit I was selling and his death. I sold a lot of coke, like a pound a month lol.

you should be so proud..

Eh, it was a living, and a lot of fun. It was the 80s, I was in my 20s, first time away from home, and felt like a big shot. Of course, it all came crashing down when I violated the first rule of dealing hard drugs: never do your own stash.

Belushi died of a speed ball.

Coke/Heroin.

Only difference with using fentanyl is it is way more powerful, and harder to control the dose, but is a lot cheaper.

Ive read people order fentanyl for $20 usd per OUNCE from China.

I presume you believe that pot growers never ever spray their product with pesticides or fungicides.


That only "hard drug", dealers are unscrupulous.

And further, that there are never any ethics in that trade.

Finally, the addition of fentanyl to cocaine affords no financial advantage

An average dose of fentanyl is, for an opiate naive person, far less than a single mg. A low dose of cocaine is around 20 mg.


Surely you can see how the addition of a chemical of such potency will not much increase the weight of the final product to say nothing of the fact that such an addition will seriously degrade the high.


Making the stuff less desirable, not more so.

REAGENT test your gear

BTW, Fent is NOT $20/oz from China. That person you heard from was likely referring to an analogue.
