(footnote: yes, there are differences in potency and duration, I know. but they hit the same receptors in pretty much the same way.)

Fentanyl in the heroin supply is an unavoidable consequence of the black market. Neither should be illegal.

Drug warriors create the harms they use to justify their own existence. It's a slow-motion catastrophe.

Specifically in the case of fentanyl: since it's 10-20x more potent than heroin, you can smuggle 10-20x as many doses at the same cost/risk.

So there's an inexorable economic logic that pushes the black market in that direction (see also: selective breeding of marijuana, etc.)
