There must be a bad batch out there that is cut with a large (relatively speaking, since it is unbelievably strong) dose of fentanyl. if the addict doesnt anticipate it being in there and doses like normal, they are going to OD immediately......that is why Narcan is so important to get out there in the community.
I was about to opine the same until I saw your post. The thing about Narcan though is that it doesn't have the same effects on OD victims who have purposely or accidentally used heroine that has been laced with fentanyl. Where a usual heroine overdose can be saved with usually one dose of narcan those who have overdosed with the deadly heroine/fentanyl combo require 4-5 doses of narcan- and even then it is often not enough.
yes, Narcan doesnt work as quickly on fentanyl ODs due to how powerful it is, and each nasal kit only has 2 doses unfortunately

this state has one of the highest OD rates in the country, it's mostly due to economic conditions and ghetto culture

let me guess, "ghetto culture" to you is an attack on the black community right?
because everything is about race
Michael said he was unconscious for a full 24 hours after taking the drugs. Bags with the “Santa Muerte” stamp — which means “holy death” in Spanish — were found with many of the others involved in last weekend’s surge of overdoses.

so you think ghetto culture is a good thing?
how is glorifying violence, gangs, drugs and prostitution good for any community?
