As someone that was a serious opiate addict I always look at stuff like this with suspicion. Fentanyl gummy bears aren’t a prescription thing as far as I know. So that means that someone presumably made them on purpose. But why? There are far better ways to do fentanyl than putting it on gummy bears. This headline makes no sense.
They were probably sugar free gummies and the kids got the explosive poopies.
If I'm reading it correctly, the gummies didn't have fentanyl in them, the bag was reused and had traces of fentanyl in it that got onto the gummies.
While not impossible. It’s still extremely improbable in my opinion. I don’t think people understand just how small a hit of fentanyl is. In my experience $20 give or take depending on how good your relationship is with your dealer gets you 1/10 of a gram. Now keep in mind that when they say a lethal dose of fentanyl is the size of a few grains of salt. That they are talking about PURE fentanyl. What you get on the street is far from pure.
Then there is how you buy it. I have almost never bought fentanyl that came in a whole ass baggy. When it did it was still tied up in the corner. Opiate addicts are SERIOUS about getting every last crumb out of the bag.
Like even when you buy a gram of dope for between $150 and $200. That still comes tied in a corner baggy. And that’s a good amount of dope.
These reasons and more lead me to believe that this situation is improbable, but not impossible.
Here is a 1/10 of a gram of pink salt lightly coating the head of a dime for those that don’t know.
If it’s true then either they are morons moving weight, or really bad addicts and somehow nobody noticed.
Edit: I want to apologize for my grammar in this comment. I was cooking dinner and playing Badurs Gate 3 when I typed this. I fixed the most egregious mistakes, but lack the energy to fix them all.
