"This is the first time that we've seen a carfentanil overdose death in a Riverside County resident," Chevinsky said.

Carfentanil is an elephant tranquilizer 100 times stronger than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine.

"When we're talking about the amount of carfentanil that can be lethal, we're talking about on the range of a few grains of salt," Chevinsky explained.

Carfentanil was first synthesized in 1974. I guess ABC hasn't been following the news lately.

As soon as they call anything an elephant tranquilizer you know they are making stuff up. They have claimed there was elephant tranquilizer in drugs since the 80s.

Anything's an elephant tranquilizer if you use enough of it

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah it's like ketamine being called "horse tranquilizer." Could just as easily be called "human infant sedative."

Not new... Isn't this what Putin used in that theater hostage situation?

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I thought that was fentanyl

Bruh i was reading about carfentanyl like 4 years ago randomly on wikipedia, that shit is not new.

Edit: oh and apparently it was first synthesized in 1974 meaning that its 51 years old which is pretty far from new
