 | It has been reported that a fatal dose of fentanyl is around 2mg. Assuming a 2mg dose, a total of 5,000 street doses can be made from 1 gram of fentanyl. With a street price of $ 10 per 'bean' a gram of pure fentanyl will become 'worth' $50,000. By extension, a kilo of pure fentanyl would be 'worth' $50m. The math gets strange with Carfentanil. Assuming 100X the potency of Fentanyl, a gram of Carfentanil would produce 500,000 retail doses. A kilo would be enough for 500,000,000 doses. (500 million) |
 | Fentanyls requires buff which can be almost anything. Cocaine cutting agent phenacetin is often used. It was used and banned in the 70s as an analgesic and fever-reducing drug. Levamisole, caffeine, benzocaine, boric acid, acetaminophen, even rat poison, pig de-wormer and laundry detergent have been used. In April 2017, Calgary police seized 83kg of phenacetin. |
