I’m so fascinated by the phenomenon of cops pretending that they’re overdosing by touching fentanyl. are they psyching themselves out so hard that they faint? are they just starved for attention? are they just railing some real quick?

This is a classic example of a normal American thing nobody else understands. No American news article will ever explain to me this apparent national belief in psychic opioid transmission, it’s just relayed without comment
It might have something to do with the delivery of pharmaceutical fentanyl via transdermal patch.

There’s a lot of science involved in fentanyl patches—it takes very complex engineering to make fentanyl absorbable in that way. It definitely isn’t just a pad soaked in the stuff. Without that substantial modification, it absolutely cannot be absorbed through the skin.

It is nonetheless understandable for an American with shallow or even medium-depth knowledge of the subject to assume that, like other potent drugs and drugs capable of delivery via patch, fent is active transdermally.
