    At least understand the dosage.

    Some talking head, commenting on fentanyl, just said, "Two micrograms can kill you."

    Nope. The dose is about 1 mcg per kilogram - or about 100 micrograms for a good analgesic dose.

    Two MILLIGRAMS will kill most people.

    That's an "orders of magnitude" error.

    (I used to use two milligrams to start an anesthetic for heart surgery. Every patient, every single one, stopped breathing.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
