Cocaine is being laced with many potential deadly substances including the deadly manmade opiate fentanyl. Many people who use cocaine generally consider it safe for use, but it’s important to note that fentanyl is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, so you would not be able to detect it. ER physician Dr. Travis Stork shares that nothing is scarier when a person comes into the ER with chest pain and they’ve used cocaine.
