Drug dealers often have no knowledge of the contents of the substances they distribute. This lack of knowledge arises because these substances have passed through various hands and processes before reaching them. This sequence of possession is referred to as the "chain of custody," which essentially tracks who has had control of these substances at any given time. Despite your belief that the drugs you obtain are safe due to a "trusted source" or friend, the unfortunate reality is that there is no reliable way to confirm their safety. In essence, taking such drugs is akin to playing a perilous game of chance with your own life.

Many individuals tend to think, "It won't happen to me or my friends," when it comes to ingesting substances that may potentially be laced with fentanyl. The stark reality, however, is that if these drugs are indeed tainted or replaced with fentanyl, you won't be able to detect it through sight, taste, or smell. A minuscule quantity of just 2 milligrams of fentanyl can prove to be lethal, which is approximately equivalent to the size of 2 grains of salt.
