Recently I have noticed a disturbing trend in the amount of carfentanil being offered on the markets. As an example on Aero I recently saw offerings of it by the gram and even a nasal spray. I can't imagine trusting anyone enough to properly dose that in a nasal spray. Let alone the fact that in any form it's more of a weapon / poison then a drug.
Given the amount of heat opiates are attracting lately and the fact that society is starting to take notice of the trend of buying fentanyl online, I think it's a terrible idea for markets to allow carfent listings. I can't imagine that the commission's gained on it sale could possibly justify the added heat and even the potential for terrorism implications. Therefore I don't think it's ridiculous and it's probably a good idea that carfentanil listings be banned. Thoughts?
I think I wouldn't allow it if I ran a market. It's essentially a chemical weapon.
I have read arguments for allowing fent & its analogs because banning them would drive up the quantity of fentanyl sold as heroin on the markets, since heroin listings would presumably still be allowed. That's solid logic, I suppose. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.
Markets might want to require fentanyl test strips be sent out with all heroin orders. That could possibly help defeat that problem. There may be some fentanyl analogs & derivatives that don't test positive for fentanyl however.
