NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a public safety warning to the entire state of Tennessee.
According to a spokesman for the department, their labs across the state have come across an alarming new trend in which samples of cocaine is tested positive for fentanyl.
Fentanyl has often times been linked to prescription drug use. It is a powerful narcotic that can kill in very small doses, presenting the possibility that those using cocaine for recreational use could end up losing their lives.
The TBI urged drug users to stop and seek help, calling the situation “serious.”
This is a developing story.

Update at 11
"those using cocaine for recreational use", is there any other type of use? I've never seen it prescribed to anyone.

Could be scare tactic propaganda, could be real, who knows? The question is are you willing to take the chance?

Last time I did MDMA back last august, I got some stuff that looked/smelled good and tested as MDMA with a reagent, but I took 220mg expecting to get pretty floored and honestly it felt like 100mg of good stuff. Got it from a new source that was kind of shady too.
Who knows what the fuck it was cut with, and stuff like that scares me. Hence why I haven't done MDMA since.
Cutting drugs is stupid. If you want more profit, use something benign like b12 powder, not something psychoactive AND extremely difficult to dose like fentanyl, especially in drugs like stimulants!

Nobody is cutting drugs with addictive substances for 'more profit' they are trying to exploit the dependency that occurs.

Well yeah, especially with fentanyl.
It's a trick to get people hooked on not only your speed/coke, but on the fentanyl that's in there too so when they buy some from another plug they don't get the same feeling so they have to buy from the dude who cut it with fent. Litte do the users know that it's the super potent fent that is really what makes the product feel good, without knowing that they're getting addicted to opiods.
Opiods are shitty man, I don't even see their appeal personally and it's just killing so many people while fucking idiots are profiting big time.

Yes, it's commonly used in pediatric trauma treatment because it's a good local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor, so it can be used as a topical pain treatment for serious wounds (think head gash which just needs stitches, no bone damage) in children too young to survive any opiates.
That's why cocaine is schedule 2. I think it might also be prescribed for stuff, but not sure what.

my dad burned his eyes welding when I was a kid, and they gave him the goods so he could open his eyes for the doc to look at them.
