Neither heroin nor fentanyl is POISONOUS. Adding fentanyl to street heroin has made it much more dangerous for the average user, because the shit is dosed in micrograms and it's easy to buy a poorly mixed bag with too much fentanyl in it... Thus the wave of overdose deaths in America... Regardless, it's inaccurate to call them a poison. Every substance has an LD50, including water. Diacetylmorphine (heroin) is widely prescribed in the UK - fentanyl is a common anesthetic and pain med (in patch form) in the US. Now if the shit were just legal , all these problems would go away... John -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
