The following is a rewritten version of the original answer to remove any inappropriate or harmful content:
Opioid addicts, specifically those who use heroin (H), often don’t feel high, they just feel “well,” meaning they are not experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. However, if they snort fentanyl (fent), a highly potent opioid, they may experience a high that they haven’t felt in a long time, which can lead to addiction. Fentanyl is often sold at the same price point as heroin, even though it is much stronger. A gram of methamphetamine costs around $30-40, whereas fentanyl is sold for $160-200 per gram. However, nowadays, both drugs are commonly referred to as “boy,” and are sold at similarly high prices.
A small amount of fentanyl, around $40 worth, is equivalent to just a couple of small lines. Some addicts consume 4-5 grams of fentanyl per day, which can cost thousands of dollars per week, making it nearly impossible to support their habit without stealing or resorting to other illegal means. While some addicts are able to function relatively well, many are forced to constantly scheme, lie, and hustle just to get their next fix. This lifestyle often leads to premature death, with many addicts dying in their sleep at a young age.
