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.

"Cardiopulmonary arrest" was the one thing all the m.e.'s agreed was the immediate cause of george floyds death.

Guess what?

The most dangerous combination of drugs that led to a drug overdose from cardiac arrest was the same george floyd had in his blood.
