The amazing @clairezagorski.bsky.social explained why this is not a real thing and why this myth is harmful. But the single most important thing everyone should know if you don’t want to worry about contaminated, unpredictable, and unsafe drugs is that the only solution is to legalize and regulate.

I thought it was regulated and legalized. If you mean by the Feds, why so they can make all the money off it and tax people to death?

A nice thing to note that in that 2021-vintage fact-based source, one thing has changed: it opens by saying fentanyl (or rather opioid) deaths are ever-increasing, and we finally had a drop, right? Thanks to all who helped bend the curve. Harm prevention works, if funded. Not border walls.

I imagine that it was a huge number of people doing a large number of things that resulted in a drop in deaths. Can’t imagine that all those things will still be happening as fed funding is cut and entire agencies designed to reduce harm are assaulted/departments fired. Hands Off indeed

And if you don’t think this lie can be weaponized politically (or just increase law enforcement budgets and increase criminalization of people who use drugs) then ask why it only comes from these people, who are notably also all unqualified on this topic, never public health or addiction specialists

Donald Trump repeats the lie of “fentanyl-laced” cannabis JD Vance repeats the lie of “fentanyl-laced” cannabis Eric Adams repeats the lie of “fentanyl-laced” cannabis Ron DeSantis repeats the lie of “fentanyl-laced” cannabis

My own governor, who was the first person to ever charge someone with “exposing” police to fentanyl (another lie), even used *this* lie to overturn the will of Ohioans who voted overwhelmingly to legalize cannabis, which he then got the state legislature to seriously kneecap to help out his cronies.

Gov. Mike DeWine urging quick passage of bill to make changes to legal pot law in Issue 2 before it takes effect tomorrow. He says without it, Ohioans could be buying marijuana with fentanyl/ pesticides/toxic chemicals in it, and kids will be exposed to pot smoke in public places

I hear what your saying and maybe it was not accurate but I just would like an independent lab to say because maybe someone sprinkled it on there thinking it would be a good high. Im from Seattle, I've seen it all. My ex is DEA task force N.M. I've seen it all. Crazy Breaking Bad level shit.

If all drugs were legal and free, I still can’t see why someone would even want to lace cannabis with fentanyl on a whim, much less peddle it to users.

I thought for half a second she was maybe an actual advocate for pain patients but she is fucking awful. She is super prejudiced toward what she deems to be the “bad” drug users. And also racist as shit.

Yeah she is continuously hurting her own cause by promoting lies about opioids and stigma against people who use opioids. She also thinks Narcan is “a scam,” despite the fact that she is the one asking for money 😬

She used to be an excellent advocate...and then, less reputable to promote. Certainly 20 ppl can have 20 different reasons to promote a lie & yet, that cannot ever excuse making up/buying into yet unproven others.

Funny, I know someone who is part of a lab which tests cannabis products for a) strength, b) biological contaminants and c) chemical contaminants. Licensed by her state and required for every producer/seller. Because their state market is properly regulated.
