minus-squareHobbitFoot @thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoPot is rarely laced. Harder drugs typically have some form of dilution because it is worth it to stretch supply. The only recent lacing I can think of is fentanyl, which was generally used in pre-existing opioids.

minus-squareAkasazh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoDoes that make it significantly cheaper, though? I thought fent was que cheap of itself. If not, why would they cut it so more of their customer base would die?
minus-squareDagwoodIII@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoThere was a trend a few years back to mix heroin and cocaine. We’d get overdose victims and apply narcan. Instead of coming around peacefully they’d go from a nod to cocaine psychosis. My friends who worked for EMS had a lot of stories about that.

minus-squareCanaconda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoYea holy shit I’d assumed it would cost more. Gonna need a better analogy. edit; Tho you do need special containers for jet fuel that I’d assume cost more than an aluminum can haha
