- The NYC Health Department, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and Trump’s opioid czar Kellyanne Conway started warning the public that drug dealers are lacing cocaine with fentanyl.
- However, while there may be accidental trace intermixing, it wouldn’t make sense to mix a stimulant (cocaine) with a depressant (fentanyl) since it wouldn’t appeal to addicts.
- Also, recent major cocaine seizures haven’t revealed fentanyl lacing.
- The spike in overdose autopsies revealing cocaine and fentanyl is probably from multi-drug abusers replacing heroin with fentanyl.
