Lot of controversy around this in the medical community. In that you can't overdose on fentanyl from contact. Cops continue to insist otherwise though.
There are certainly cases where cops are doing the drugs but then blame physical contact in order to save face or cover for each other.
More "no controversy in the medical community, but lots in the cop community."
Doctors are not divided on this because it's simple fact based science that the cop claims of "contact highs" aren't possible.
Yeah that's a better way to put it. It leads to a lot of frustrating confrontation in the emergency department but you're right that there is a consensus on the medical side.
I mean ingesting, snorting, or injecting drugs technically is making contact with the drug. 🤷♂️
