As a LEO who’s gone through two training sessions, it’s nearly impossible to O.D. or even get dosed unless it’s deliberate.
One of the stories they told us was about a strike team that spent an hour going through brambles, getting their arms lacerated, and upon encountering the perp, was dusted with Fen and while the lead officer did pass out, he was able to walk his way back out, which was probably 2.5 miles.
Innocents who are being killed by “China Blue” is because they think they’re taking X, Molly, Carfentanyl, Pink and Flakka.
Not a good decision, but not a necessary death sentence.

"Experts Say the Risk Is 'Extremely Low'"

"Experts" who never worked a day in uniform, and never had to confiscate unknown substances as evidence.

Anyone doing illegal drugs are not innocents, and if they get poisoned by unknown shit they put in their bodies, that's on them. If they choose to do drugs, they leave themselves open for negative results. They put their trust in the wrong people. There are consequences to lifestyle choices, but in today's world, nobody wants to accept responsibility for the stupid shit they do, and always want to be looked upon as victims.

30 years ago, a friend of mine with cancer had it prescribed in patches I think.

Cops want to be martyrs. Think they are the only people with dangerous jobs. Unlike truck drivers tree trimmers steel mill workers coal miners it goes on and on. Cops ain’t that special.

I wonder: could fentanyl be carried into the body using DMSO?

“Fentanyl does not pass through the skin efficiently or well”

But they do prescribe fentanyl skin patches for patients.

"Cops want to be martyrs. Think they are the only people with dangerous jobs."

Every job has its own unique set of dangers. You can't equate the duties of a coal miner, or a tree trimmer's job with those of a cop. Police have to deal with the public, people they don't know, every day, and strangers breaking the law they have to confront with unknown outcomes. No two incidents they respond to are the same. One thing they do have in common is, if you take short-cuts, don't follow safety procedures, aren't observant, and take chances, eventually you will become a victim of your own arrogance and stupidity, or somebody else's.

Sounds like the life of a long haul trucker. Sounds like a tree trimmer a steel erector a plumber a quick stop operator a liquor store owner a bail bondsman military personnel steel mill laborer a utility linesman or a helicopter pilot or a fisherman at sea.
