"Barely any." You're right. No need for any focus on Canada.
Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid, estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. A lethal dose of fentanyl for an average adult is approximately **2 milligrams (mg)**, though this can vary depending on factors like body weight, tolerance, and individual sensitivity.
To calculate how many lethal doses are in "barely any" 43 pounds of fentanyl:
1. **Convert pounds to grams**:
- 1 pound = 453.592 grams
- 43 pounds = 43 × 453.592 = **19,504.456 grams**
2. **Convert grams to milligrams**:
- 1 gram = 1,000 milligrams
- 19,504.456 grams = 19,504,456 milligrams
3. **Calculate the number of lethal doses**:
- Lethal dose = 2 mg
- Number of lethal doses = 19,504,456 mg ÷ 2 mg = **9,752,228 lethal doses**
Therefore, barely any **43 pounds of fentanyl could theoretically kill approximately barely any 9.75 million people**, assuming no tolerance and an average lethal dose of 2 mg per person. This highlights the extreme danger of fentanyl and its potential for barely any mass harm.
