That's really not how it works in the U.S., where this misinformation is being spread. Especially not these days when you can just drive to a state where it's legal and buy lots of weed and then just go back to the state where it isn't legal and sell it for a premium.

And to make it stupider, it's already legal in New York.

    Maybe it's cases of cross contamination? If a miniscule ammount of fentanyl somehow contaminates cannabis weighed with the same equipment that might backfire badly.

    You wouldn't really use the same scale to weigh Fentanyl and weed. Fentanyl is dosed in micro grams. $10k of fentanyl requires a much more precise scale than $10k of weed. Typically such a precise scale cannot handle the weight of $10k of weed.

    You'd have to have a dealer who sells very large amounts of Fentanyl and very small amounts of weed.
