Dahszil, where do you live? You say “Opioids in and of themselves are less dangerous than many drugs”. Fentanyl and Carfentanyl are 1000 or more times potent than morfin. Just by touching someone who inhaled fentanyl you can die. What is dangerous if not this?

I am not trying to be difficult, but the second part of the update is not there in the video. I am watching each and every episode and I have noticed it the second time.
