Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope

  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. The commenter I replied to didn’t mention either of these drugs in their comment.

  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

      It happens, I gave one well known example. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen.

        A well known example that doesn’t match what was being said is the point.

  I’m a secondary source, and validate your statement.

    Yeah, no. Anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence.
