Gray death

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Gray Death is a new and deadly opioid drug that has emerged in the United States. It is a combination of several opioids including heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, and a synthetic opioid called U-47700.

Composition[edit | edit source]

The exact composition of Gray Death can vary, but it typically includes several powerful opioids. These can include:

  • Heroin: A highly addictive drug derived from morphine, which is obtained from the opium poppy.
  • Fentanyl: A synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
  • Carfentanil: A synthetic opioid that is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. It is used commercially to sedate large animals.
  • U-47700: A synthetic opioid that is roughly 7.5 times more potent than morphine.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of Gray Death are severe and can include respiratory depression, unconsciousness, and often overdose or death. The drug is so potent that it can be absorbed through the skin or accidentally inhaled, putting even first responders at risk.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

In the United States, all of the components of Gray Death are classified as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess the drug.
