Undeclared powder with highly potent opioid
.avif)
Risk assessment
The highly potent synthetic opioid protonitazene was found in an undeclared white powder ordered on the darknet .
Protonitazene is a synthetic opioid that is about 200 times more potent than morphine. Thus, even at very low doses, the substance can lead to life-threatening conditions, including respiratory depression. This risk is massively increased in the case of unintentional ingestion.
The sample was included in a darknet order as an undeclared free sample and was not identified as protonitazene.
Be sure to have unknown or undeclared substances analyzed in a drug check prior to consumption.
Consumption of this sample is strongly discouraged.

Analysis
Have your substances tested in a Drug Checking
Testing
If you do not have the possibility to have substances analysed, always test a small amount to avoid overdoses.
Wait and see
Wait 2 hours after oral intake, as there are always powders / crystals in circulation with unexpected active ingredients, which can have a later onset of action.
Utensils
Always use your own sniffing utensils when applying powders nasally (sniffing) to avoid infecting yourself or others with diseases.
