    50-100 times the potential lethal dose seems pretty high even for a chronic addict.

    I think either there’s a mix up with the reported numbers here, or they’re reporting the weight of the whole pill, not the fentanyl in the pill.

    A fentanyl pill will be mostly filler material with a little drug sprinkled in, actually that’s most pills in general. A Tylenol pill isn’t 100% Acetaminophen, it’s mostly just filler material.

    So I’m willing to bet the pills way 109 milligrams each, and they’re just little tabs with like 1-10% fentanyl content.

      Idk. I remember hearing that Rush Limbaugh took 100s of oxycontin per day. Tolerance builds.
