Description

Perhaps carfentanil made you experience the worst withdrawal experience of your entire life, filled with vivid nightmares, profuse sweating, sleepless days, and debilitating pain. Many people do not survive carfentanil exposure. Why?

The synthetic opioid is one of the deadliest substances in existence. Just a trace amount resembling a few grains of salt is lethal enough to kill you. Carfentanil’s primary medical use is as a tranquilizer for elephants and other large mammals. It is 10,000 times stronger than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. By the way, fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin.

Despite its potency, carfentanil can be easily produced in a laboratory and is cheap compared to other substances of abuse. Thus, drug dealers add it to heroin, cocaine, and certain pills to endow those substances with added potency.

Sadly, most people who have been exposed to carfentanil do not even know it. Repeated exposure, however, is enough to produce an abrupt and fatal overdose.

With carfentanil, death is often just one encounter away.
