I mistakenly thought cocaine was a more expensive option so wouldn't be seen that often. Wrong. 80% of the patients I see test positive for cocaine. The oldest, I've seen, was 80 years old; the youngest 16 years old. I've seen people who live in government housing and people who live in upper middle class areas of town.
Fentanyl is cheap. It is mixed with the cocaine (which lowers the price), so if someone's tox screen shows cocaine, most of the time, it will show fentanyl also.
That testimony JellyRoll gave was powerful. Sadly, it will change nothing.

Thank you for your first hand testimony. May I ask what you do? I'm simply curious if that skews the number of pot users you encounter. I too would expect pot to be #1.
Most everyone I know, but me, smokes pot. I wish I could claim I didn't care, but I've ditched multiple guys because all they wanted to do was hang out and get high, ugh!
