It doesn't matter how powerful something is compared to another. You can only take an amount that is acceptable without od. Drinking a lot of water is deadly too but we all swim in the ocean. The only ones who benefit from a stronger drug is those who sell it. Also besides real opioids being safer they actually make you feel better where fent just an unhappy drug with a worst come down. I've taken 5 ml of hydro and can't stop smiling but a fent injection at the hospital and I was literally feeling bad. Not nausea not sick just a general feeling of shitty

I have a question my brother had 58 NG/ML of fentynal and 140 of methamphetamine and 18 of nor-fentnaly and 5.5 of acetyl- fentynal. And what I read is 11.4 is enough to kill someone my question is how was my brother coherent enough to inject that amount into his body I'm about 100% certain his fiance shot him up but she won't admit to it. My question is would he have even been awake enough with that amount in his system?
