Fentanyl is the most powerful opioid painkiller today..something like 80 times the strength of morphine. Abusing fentanyl alone is dangerous. Taking more than the recommended dose is plain stupid. Not many bodies can handle excessive doses of fentanyl.

Heroin is also powerful, and carries the risk of being dirty or laced with some mystery substance (..poison). The effects of heroin are also less predictable than these opioid prescription drugs, it is never guaranteed to be safe.

So. Don't mix them. With the right dosage of each (and it's probably less than you think), you will kill yourself, fact.

More recent answer on carfentanil reports it is 100x the potency of morphine, & 5000x the potency of heroin. Manufactured in large quantities by China for export, there is a lot of it out there. It has been killing a lot of people.

Fentanyl manufacturing was more controlled throughout history. Although there have been occasional finds of kilos of fentanyl intended for distribution, most authorities assume there is much more carfentanil out there than fentanyl.

Note that the death counts for morphine are likely to include deaths caused by fentanyl/carfentanil &molecularly similar variants.
