(CNN)A mass drug overdose at a home in Chico, California, has killed one person and sent more than a dozen people to hospitals, police said.
Chico Police Chief Michael O'Brien said the main substance involved is believed to be fentanyl -- the most commonly used drug in overdoses, according to a recent government report.
==================================================================
Fentanyl is a quick way to kill yourself.
I've been exposed to fentanyl 3 times. The first 2 times was during cataract surgery, the drug being administered by an M.D. anesthesiologist in a day surgery operating room. It knocked me out immediately. The third time was mixed with midazolam (Versed) & adminstered by a nurse during an endoscopy procedure. I was awake during the entire procedure, indicating that I had apparently built up a tolerance to both of these drugs after only 2 exposures. I understand this is why opioid addicts crave fentanyl in their heroin because it has much more of a 'kick.'
