I hear all these stories about people overdosing due to not knowing they were consuming/ingesting fentanyl, and I was just wondering why this occurs so often.

Right now in the US heroin isnt really on the streets. A lot of the supply was from pre Taliban Afghanistan. There is still heroin but most of that is cut with fentanyl or is really just fentanyl. This is done with fentanyl since its the same class as heroin (opioids) just cheaper and more potent. In order to cut heroin with fentanyl it needs to be measured very precisely and electronic scales are used. These scales may also be used to weigh drugs like coke and there is a big cross contamination risk when weighing multiple drugs on the same scale. Almost no one is putting fent in coke on purpose but “street pharmacists” aren’t properly trained and dont have the best equipment so cross contamination happens.
