Fentanyl: Actually As Dangerous As They Say

Yeah, because that's a big barrier for a lot of people. who are like, I like drugs, but I'm not going to stick a needle in my arm. That just seems like such a horrible road to go down that it will give people second thoughts. But smoking something, geez, I like marijuana. I like smoking crack. I might as well try smoking fentanyl. It's just much less of a barrier to overcome.

Stuff You Should Know
Fentanyl: Actually As Dangerous As They Say

Yes. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy if you think about it, because most other drugs that you smoke, you could conceivably overdose on.

Yeah, and it's kind of hard to wrap your head around, like, why would somebody send you that? Like, how evil could you be?
