Why would any coke dealer cut his garbage with fentanyl? The two drugs are at odds, to put it mildly.
If a dealer in cocaine and fentanyl wants to sell more fentanyl, he might be moved to dust his coke baggies with it in the deranged hope that his customers might like it, but why do it in fatal amounts and why do it without telling them?
Then again, it might be an accident in packaging.
Dealers are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Another example illustrating the need for legalization.
why do it in fatal amounts and why do it without telling them?
That's actually one of the big issues with fentanyl. The fatal dosage amount for someone who has no prior tolerance to opiates is ridiculously low. A small dusting might actually be enough.
I could sneeze in your face and the particulate levels that would enter your system, if purely fentanyl, would probably make you OD if you've never used shit like heroin or coke before.
Just a dusting of it can fuck you if you're lightweight afaik
Could be put in by the supplier rather than the dealers. Make it more addictive, and if users die, it's the dealer that gets the bad rep. Some other dealer will happily take over that turf, who will buy from the same supplier.
If I was still using cocaine, and snorted or shot a bunch of Fentanyl cut coke and survived, I would avoid that dealer for future purchases. I'd have preferred mixing my own speedballs, thank you very much.
Taking opiates and cocaine or amphetamines at the same time is not all that uncommon. The dealers likely just fucked up and used too much fentanyl, or were using what they thought was heroin and turned out to be fortified with fentanyl.
Typically, one doesn't buy speedballs ready-mixed from the dealer, but fixes the shot himself, adding the cocaine to a spoonful of dissolved junk (in this case Fentanyl).
Fentanyl isn't dangerous to judicious junkies, especially those used to using opiates like Dilaudid, with doses measured in fractions of a milligram. (Fentanyl is dosed in micrograms, which makes the grinding and shooting of bootleg Mexican pills so dangerous and in need of careful titration on the part of a user.)

This has always puzzled me as well. I get cutting heroin with it, but coke makes no sense other than just accidents like you said.

Why don't you ask River Phoenix? That was probably a good old-fashioned Speed Ball.
Saint Floyd was probably hopped up on a Goofball, which is meth and fentanyl.
I don't know why Speed Balls are popular, but they seem to have fans.
