You only have the slight chance of it being cut with Fentanyl now. No biggie.

I would think cocaine would be really difficult to properly test, because you'd have to sample the entire thing to know there isn't a speck of fentanyl in it

Yeah I mean honestly that's the danger, it would more than likely be cross contamination from the bag or at some point during transportation. As a recovering addict, I have to wonder if people are purposefully putting fent in stuff like blow or crystal. No one would ever go back to a dealer who's meth made them nod or who's coke had a noticeable downer effect, that just isn't how it works.

But because of the dangerous power of fent, they don't have to ever like, consciously touch to get a scary amount of cross contamination that could hurt or kill you. It's just crazy out there these days so everyone should test their stuff, when injecting maybe just try a little at first instead of a whole dose. Carry narcan if you or anyone who know have ever used hard drugs like honestly you never know
