Fentanyl is an Opioid.
Meth is a Stimulant.

George floyd's autopsy bloodwork at the hospital showed a large amount of fentanyl and a smaller amount of meth.

In a study of cardiac arrest deaths, caused by a drug overdose, guess what the most dangerous combination was? An opioid and a stimulant.

The incidence of overdose-related cardiac arrests more than doubled in King County, Washington, from 2015 to 2021, with the biggest increase among people who had consumed opioids combined with stimulants, according to a new study. That drug profile was also the most lethal among four profiles evaluated.

The opioid+stimulant mix also was associated with worse survival than opioids alone or stimulants alone. Chatterjee hypothesized that this might be due to the dual-organ impact of opioids, which primarily affect the respiratory system, and stimulants, which can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
