Delta Police suspect fentanyl was in the cocaine that caused nine people to overdose within a 20-minute period overnight on Aug. 31. The nine individuals were all recreational users who believed they were just taking cocaine, Delta police Chief Neil Dubord said. 'Viewed as a social drug'"The scary part about cocaine is it's not viewed as heroin on the street. "We know that fentanyl is very cheap, and when you're using it to cut cocaine, to buff cocaine, you're getting a lot more product without having to use a lot more cocaine." Vancouver police say they have also seen fentanyl being cut into cocaine.
