Fentanyl has grown in popularity on the streets of many major cities of North America over the last decade. OxyContin, a leading drug of abuse years past, was restricted from several provincial governments to curtail or prevent addiction. Now the “popular” drug, fentanyl, causes overdoses at an alarming rate. Classed as a pain suppressor, it is an opioid and is 100 times more potent than morphine. A patch exists for cancer patients and other forms of disease that cause constant pain. The patch delivers the drug to the body by slowly seeping through the skin to provide the required prescribed relief for patients. However, some people have used this patch to supplement their fentanyl abuse.
Fentanyl like any other opiates will have the effect of euphoria, drowsiness, lethargy, and mellowness. Tolerance to Fentanyl is very quick so higher doses are achieved in a matter of weeks.
