I haven't reviewed any data, but I believe this as well. At least in the case of cocaine and fen. I could see heroin, or other opioides being laced with fentanyl, but I don't see how it would be profitable or desirable for a dealer to lace cocaine with fentanyl.

I could definitely see drug users bingeing and using both within a close time frame though.

It's like when people get strong pot and think someone laced it with coke. Like a drug dealer wants to put expensive drugs in your cheap pot. Why would a coke dealer degrade the cocaine by adding an expensive drug that reduces the stimulant aspect? They would be degrading their product and be making it more expensive at the same time, not to mention killing their customers.

It's their life. I watched an episode of Drug Inc. where the guy (drug dealer) laced a couple of his doses with high (overdose) levels of fentanyl... to intentionally create an overdose situation - it made his product more desirable because word on the street was that it was more potent and they always attributed the overdoes to the victim not being able to handle it. (I don't think it was cocaine he was selling - maybe Molly). It's just a crazy world that I can't relate to.

Criminal records are not great for border crossings.

Like all crimes, it doesn't have significant ramifications until you are caught.

Try getting across the USA border with a cocaine conviction.

If a team wants to dump a poor performer bad contract that is a regular coke user does not seem to be that hard of a setup to get them caught. How did Mike Richards get caught at the border?

Really bad for growing the game if the NHLPA comes out and says that a solid portion of their association is using a schedule 1 narcotic.
You addressed my point in exactly one line of your post, and the answer to that is - since when does the NHLPA worry about growing the game, or the rep of the NHL?

And even if the NHLPA doesn't make that point, the player might. And the team would rightly be concerned about it.

So it went to a myth to just "most cases."

Once you've confirmed that fentanyl tainted cocaine is a myth, let these guys know seeing as they are on trial for manslaughter due to it:

One thing for sure is that Bettman doesn't partake. He just has a 365-day per year cold.

So you were able to pull one case out here where they may be found guilty of it. . . . .

Lets just say this before people speculate. I knew nothing of this world and would not know anything about it, if it weren't for what I did for a living. Which by the way is not selling drugs lol.

Well yes, but my skepticism extends well beyond that. I find it extremely unlikely anyone could have such a definitive dogmatic answer about this particular nation wide drug phenomena, especially when most acquired data points would be primarily anecdocatal from unreliable and confounded subjects.
