Fentanyl in particular is extremely dangerous. You can't just go on that safely, you have to work your system up to it gradually by taking less powerful opiates.

As for this idiot's polydrug addiction...did he even care what he was taking? FIVE different opioids that he knew about? And coke. And weed. And benzos. SMFH at some of the shit today's impressionable youth are doing.
