I’d encourage you to look into Chris Green, a cop in East Liverpool, Ohio, United States. This horseshit seems to be traced back to this guy.

My spouse (medical worker) has had drops on their hand that could take down entire precincts. Cops are dumb, scared little shits.

You know how in the middle ages, the vast majority of the population was superstitious peasants who knew enough about their little slice of the world to get by in society but were ridiculously uninformed about everything else?

Modern society is running on the exact same hardware.

I got uninvited from helping to run a passover Seder after my friend's ex found out that the mental health facility I work at houses some drug users.

"My mother's group all agree it's not fair to expose my children to meth like that" 😂

I politely explained how this is disinfo and impossible, that 2nd-degree-removed aerial contact-highs violate several laws of reality.

Unpopular answer, but its possible those cops aren't lying. Specifically they are believing their own misinformation and giving themselves a panic attack.

The justice system lies.

Wait, for real? I know a lot of people saying this is possible and I've read stories of it happening. I just believed it. I guess I just never felt I had a reason to look into it.

It doesn't get you high by touching it.

Those cops were lying about their drug use. They did opiates and then blamed it on touching evidence.

Cops needed a reason to beat you up and shoot you.

Well fentanyl is dangerous you see. What a coincidence.

I think this is a reference to a sensationalized US news story in 2020 where a US officer allegedly brushed off fentanyl powder on his shirt/uniform and reported accidental overdose by skin exposure.

In med industry we laugh about cops saying they get high or overdosed on it by touching it. ?

Are you missing an article? Are you asking us whether you laugh at this? Shouldn't you know?

Fentanyl patches are pretty dangerous. The package insert explicitly warns you not to get the patch on your fingers or hands because the substance gets absorbed into the body more quickly than intended. It also warns against cutting a patch in half (or using otherwise damaged patches) because that too increases the rate at which the patch releases the medicine.

They have sythesized a dosage so potent that you can't touch it IIRC. They call it black death. There is also some other type that is not quite as bad but worse than the normal kind. It's name has a complicated chemical prefix I can no longer recall. Yay for the consequences of trying to get around a pointless drug war.

Edit: Carfentanyl is 100 times more potent that fentanyl. There is still one that even worse though.
