I had just accepted it, as well. I suppose one should wonder why the suspect wasn't already dead, if it were the case that casually touching it would be likely to cause investigate od.

Touching it doesn't adversely affect anyone but cops.*

*which apparently does have a penchant for causing panicky behavior and anxiety issues, due to misinformation and poor training.

Wait, so opioid overdoses aren’t accompanied by hyperventilation, dilated eyes, tachycardia, a sense of panic and inability to calm down….I dunno man sounds like textbook ~~anxiety attack~~ opioid overdose
