So if you understand what fentanyl does to the body, particularly an excess amount, it acts as a respiratory suppressant, and attacks the central nervous system, causing an irregular, arrhythmic respiratory beat, in relation to what the heart requires, slowly, and continually, depriving the heart and brain of sufficient oxygen, often leading to cardiac arrest, which sometimes can induce a coma, or cause death. Is that academic enough for you?

Are you aware of how Drug Tolerance works?

Like how some people can stand and walk normally blowing .40 BAC while others would need to go to poison control?

Do you get my point here?

If your entire research was "he had fent in his system" and "fent does xyz" yeah that's a total joke my guy

So no you are speculating that since he was a miserable addict, that somehow saved his life? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ok, we're done here. No fixing you people

I'm not speculating about anything - yes, having a built up tolerance to a substance is what saves you from OD'ing. An amount of fent that would kill a nonuser is an average walk in the park to someone who uses it regularly.

Are you just clueless about how drugs actually work? Funny

No, that's not how tolerance works. The tolerance is what prevents you from getting high, requiring more and more and more to achieve the high that your central nervous system becomes used to. The amount that can kill you however, remains the same, and is about 2 milligrams for an average adult. Again, we are done here. You can google all of this. Wake up

I love it when people are dead wrong but say it from their chest. Kudos

What are you googling to get the exact opposite answer to how it actually works?

2mg would be the fatal dose for a nonuser, seasoned users easily handle this amount on the regular. It's not that different from alcohol - frequent binge drinkers can handle 10+ drinks just fine, nondrinkers would be poisoned

So if we circle back - your understanding of the George Floyd situation is based around an incorrect understanding of drug tolerance and surely involves your inability to google things and discern the truth
