How Much Does Fentanyl Cost On The Street?

Fentanyl is extremely potent and is considered to be up to 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin.

A single dose of fentanyl is considered to be 100 mcg-400 mcg and can cost about $2 or less. Typically, prescription drugs sold on the street are not sold in increments this small.

How Much Does Fentanyl Cost On The Street?

One of the major problems with fentanyl sold on the street is that there is no way to know how much fentanyl something actually contains, and it is one of the easiest opioids to overdose on.

How Fentanyl Is Sold On The Street

Synthetic fentanyl that is found on the street is usually sold in powder form and then converted.

Forms of fentanyl sold on the street:

• original powder
• blotter paper sheet
• eyedropper
• nasal spray
• transdermal patch
• pill made to look like a prescription tablet

Fentanyl Cost On The Street May Vary By Cutting Agent

It is sadly not uncommon now to find heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or MDMA laced with fentanyl on the street.

Due to its high potency and low cost per dose, street dealers have found it to be a useful filler or substitute when selling other, more expensive street drugs.

When you compare the average cost of a single dose of each of these, it is easy to see why fentanyl makes a cheap substitute or filler.

Problems occur, however, because many of the people who purchase fentanyl are not aware of it.

Someone will go to take their “regular dose” and not realize they are taking something much, much stronger. This can lead to a range of health issues, including a potentially fatal overdose.
