There was a trend a few years back to mix heroin and cocaine. We’d get overdose victims and apply narcan. Instead of coming around peacefully they’d go from a nod to cocaine psychosis.
My friends who worked for EMS had a lot of stories about that.
it is cheaper. allegedly it also increases the effect time of the drug. fentanyl is very powerful but also very short-lasting by itself. in a hospital setting, it would always be used in a very small dose combined with other sedatives.
Pot is rarely laced.
Harder drugs typically have some form of dilution because it is worth it to stretch supply.
The only recent lacing I can think of is fentanyl, which was generally used in pre-existing opioids.

doesn’t make fiscal sense.
fentanyl is now being cut with xylazine/tranq, a horse tranquilizer. it makes people OD like fentanyl but narcan does nothing.

Does that make it significantly cheaper, though? I thought fent was que cheap of itself.
If not, why would they cut it so more of their customer base would die?

Laced pot exists, but when it happens, its intentionaland costs a premium
