Current Events > Those fentanyl laced gummies that were found didn't actually contain any.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There may have been talk about this here, I don't remember. But last week the cops pulled CBD/THC gummies off the shelves after two people OD'd on fentanyl. The police thought that the gummies must have contained the drug. They raided a shop or two and took the gummies and said glad to protect and serve and save everyone.

Turns out the gummies didn't have a single drop of fentanyl in them.

It turns out that the investigators who performed the original tests used some ridiculously sensitive portable equipment whose threshold for detection is .01 nanogram. One nanogram is equivalent to 0.000000001 grams, which, if my decimal-place counting is correct, is the same as one billionth of a gram. And thats for one nanogram. In this case, were talking about a threshold that is one one-hundredth of said nanogram.

Over the weekend, investigators sent the supposedly fentanyl-positive products off to a lab for further testing. And the lab found absolutely zero illegal drugs in any of those products. Its unclear what the labs detection threshold is, but its clearly more than .01 nanogram, an amount that wouldnt even begin to get a person high.
