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?

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.
