    They don’t, by and large. “Laced drugs” has been a myth used to demonize drug sellers.

    People might lace their own drugs (if youve never had a dirty blunt its a good time) but thats pretty much it.

      Fentanyl is frequently being mixed with a potent animal tranquilizer called

      xylazine (known on the street as “tranq” or “tranq dope”), creating a dangerous and often fatal combination. This mixture has been declared an "emerging threat

      So yeah it’s out there

          Are you being deliberately contrarian or do you me a to imply the opioid AND fentanyl epidemic are somehow made up?

            Just because heroin and fentanyl are prevalent on the streets doesn’t mean that every claim that sounds like it was sourced from a 1990s chain letter is true. That’s an absurd assertion.

                Two government sources, which as we all know always report truthfully and without bias about street drugs. The same government that made weed illegal because it “lead to race mixing,” “jazz musicians to create Satanic music,” and caused people to go violently insane.

                  I also watched a report from Mariana Van Zeller about the drug. She got in contact with people that make the drug and she got a chance to interview police who have to deal with the mess.

                  Can’t find a link to her report.

              My dude heroin is being cut with fentanyl because it’s significantly more potent and so you can step on it more ( add other shit to make it stretch ) to sell.

              The opioid crisis was bad enough before fent hit the streets in it. This is a known thing, totally unrelated to the stupid “they put razor blades in my marijuanas”

                  Tranq is short for tranquilizer.

                  There are lots of names for this.

                  I’ve heard tranq dope before, yeah.

                  Hell instead of being the way you are just google or ddg “tranq”

                  It would have taken you mere seconds.

      DMX was handed blunts laced with crack when he was a teenager, and it became a dependency until the day he died. That’s why people do it in most cases: to create dependency.

        Dude he was handed a blunt people were smoking, they put crack in it cuz they wanted it in the blunt.

        Drug dealers aren’t out here putting extra drugs in your drugs for free.

        If a crack dealer wanted to get someone hooked they’d just give em crack, same for heroin. Testers are real, they’re not gonna hide it in your vitamins
