A synthetic opioid described as 'fentanyl on steroids' was seized in a Florida drug bust, according to police.
West Palm Beach police confiscated $1.6 million worth of N-Desethyl Isotonitazene - known as ISO - during a raid, reported WPBF.
Authorities discovered the deadly drug in powder, pill and brick form while executing search warrants on a home and a storage unit earlier in July.
'[The substances] came back as 50 times more potent than normal fentanyl that we normally deal with,' Lt. Joe Herb said.
'Fentanyl is normally very dangerous. Now, we're talking about 50 times stronger.'
Police said the only other time they heard of ISO being found before now was in Philadelphia.
One unidentified person has been arrested in connection with discovery. Herb said the drug is being sold on the streets of the Sunshine State and he is concerned it will lead to more overdoses.
'This is scary. I've been a police officer for 34 years. I've been doing narcotics pretty much my entire career. This is scary,' Herb said.
'You breathe that stuff in, or you grab it and touch your eyes or grab your mouth or something of that nature; there's a big concern right now.'
In powder form, ISO can appear yellow, brown, or off-white in color, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Doctors told the local news station that ISO is a different compound than fentanyl, but both substances being found in other illegal drugs is concerning.
'As scary as it sounds, it's not surprising that that's where these synthetic opioids are going,' said internal medicine physician at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital Dr. Pedram Rad.

Take it to the Homeless camps, give them their last hoorah.

It’s not always an easy call. We all have moments of weakness. It could lead to nothing, or it lead to disaster. Even the late, great Rush Limbaugh was an addict for a few years.
Some addicts are hopeless, and must be cut loose from society. But I believe I’d try Singapore’s approach first (post #19).
62% of deaths attributed to ISO have been the result of people merely reading an online article about how dangerous it is! Among those who also viewed the pictures that accompany the the online article, the death-rate is a staggering 99%!!
Actually, that’s a comparison photo of carfentanil, not fentanyl. Carfentanil is 100x stronger than fentanyl, which makes it 2x as strong as Libloather’s N-Desethyl Isotonitazene.
Carfentanil is one of the drugs used to tranq large animals, like elephants, with a relatively tiny dart fired fron am airgun.

Give the users forced rehab. Give the dealers a dirt nap. No deals. No exceptions.
American culling is going as planned...
Rehab DOES NOT work if the user doesn’t want it.
That is what I was wondering. I guess some people want to die.
ISO. The new ancient Chinese secret.
So, since drug abuse is a choice, many more undesirables will be removed from the gene pool. Those who don’t choose to use won’t be affected.
“How does one protect themselves from it?”
By not participating in drug abuse.
“Even the late, great Rush Limbaugh was an addict for a few years.”
There is a difference between trying to control pain and using drugs for “recreation“.
“American culling is going as planned...”
But in this case, those culled are culling themselves by choice.
The ones who are robbed, raped, carjacked, burglarized, have to clean up the crap on the sidewalk, pay for all the problems and other stuff will definitely be affected.
Imagine it dispersed over an urban population center.
Thats the wet dream of the globalists.
Very true...
Well, that’s a start but if someone wants to do a terror attack event, the possibilities are endless.
Yup, that thought occurred to me as well.
Others come to mind and no doubt the nefarious have already thought of them but I still won’t post them.
In legitimate medical use, fentanyl and its derivatives are administered in MICROgram doses.
It acts very quickly, and wears off very quickly, allowing an anesthesiologist, combat medic, or other professional to precisely manage the patient’s condition. The very small doses put less stress on kidneys than less “powerful” opiods or opiates.
True. A couple of ounces poured into the intake of an air handling system...
