What's supposed to be in it isn't the problem.What isn't supposed to be in it is.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin. It's cheap. It's turning up in street stimulants — including cocaine — where nobody expects it. The DEA says people take these drugs with no idea fentanyl is there. You can't see it. You can't smell it. You can't taste it. 2 milligrams kills. The DEA puts that at 10 to 15 grains of table salt. The tip of a pencil.

2mg. The tip of a pencil. That's the entire margin between a normal night and BODY BAG.

One bump does nothing.The next one stops your heart.

Fentanyl doesn't blend evenly. In the same batch, from the same source, one portion holds almost none — the next holds a lethal dose. The DEA found the majority of fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills carried a potentially deadly amount. So "I've done this before, I was fine" means nothing. Last month's batch and tonight's bag are not the same drug. Your tolerance doesn't protect you. Your dealer doesn't know. Nobody in that chain can tell you what's in this specific bag. And it's never just one thing. Over 90% of counterfeit-drug samples in one CDC-linked study held substances the buyer never expected.

Stop gambling
with a guess.

You can't out-smell it. You can't out-taste it. You can't trust the source, because the source doesn't know either. Every time you use without testing, you're betting your life on a coin flip you can't see. There's one way to stop guessing: test it first.

Test kits — coming soon.

A test strip tells you if fentanyl is present. It doesn't make anything safe — it just means you're not flying blind.

Know before you go.
