“Metonitazene is particularly dangerous because, in the worst case scenario, even a single tablet can lead to death. You can’t tell what narcotics actually contain just by their appearance. Drug users can never know for sure whether the substance they are buying is what it’s claimed to be,” investigation head, Markku Juurikkamäki, said in the release.
Metonitazene is an analgesic compound related to etonitazene,[2][3] which was first reported in 1957,[4] and has been shown to have approximately 1000 times the potency of morphine by central routes of administration,[5] but if used orally it has been shown to have approximately 10 times the potency of morphine.[6]
…
Its effects are similar to other opioids such as fentanyl and heroin, including analgesia, euphoria, and sleepiness.[6][7] Adverse effects include vomiting, and respiratory depression that can potentially be fatal.[8] Because of high dependency potential and dangerous adverse effects it has never been introduced into pharmacotherapy. It is instead commonly used in the illicit manufacture of counterfeit-OxyContin opioid pills.
I have very little pharmaceutic knowledge, so I don’t even know what parts to be wary of. We could add 5 zeros to the potency difference and it would be just as believable.

“…but if used orally it has been shown to have approximately 10 times the potency of morphine”
Per wikipedia, so grain of salt and all that. Still…
Vast difference in potency between fent and morphine.
