I'm just stating this as an aside, since the cause of these young men's deaths are undetermined: But in my area, families don't want the fentanyl cause of death released, so it's only known by rumour among those in their inner circle, and authorities just put out generic warnings.This was my thought as well because it has been happening a lot where I live. People get together and snort, what they think is cocaine, and end up with mass overdoses happening at the same time.
So then, IMO people think only desperate street addicts are at risk from fentanyl. Occasional recreational users just don't seem realize how taking illegal drugs is truly playing russian roulette. And recreational drug use has been kept secret for so long, people don't realize how common it is among 'respectable' citizens.
