The police arent wrong, nor are the doctors. There are different ways to interpret the term touching.<\/p>\n Anyone who gets involved with fentanyl is gambling with the probability that their life will be ruined and then they will die. This drug is that powerful.<\/p>\n Fentanyl is showing up in other counterfeit drugslike valium, Xanax and cocaine. Fentanyl can be found in illegal tobacco products and black-market cannabis. Cannabis or tobacco laced with fentanylis very dangerous as it reaches a broader marketplace, a larger segment of the population, it may even enter the illegal vaping market, there are so many opportunities for intrusion.<\/p>\n I am compelled to write this warning as the adult child of another friend has lost their life due to using fentanyl without being aware of it.<\/p>\n The 50-year drug warhas escalated at warp speed due to the power of fentanyl. The war must come to an end before everyone has a family member as a casualty in the failed American drug war.
