| Pensioners are selling on old fentanyl patches to drug users to help pay their bills, a coronial inquest into opiate deaths has heard.
Examining six opiate related deaths in 2016, the NSW Coroner’s Court also heard opiate users were now turning to fentanyl because of the impurity of heroin.
An opiates user who discovered his friend had taken a fatal overdose of drugs told the inquest on Tuesday that elderly patients were siphoning off unused patches to the black market.
“It seems to be sourced from old pensioners who sell it on to pay their bills,” the man said.
He referred to Cavendish Street in Newtown, where opiate users could buy morphine tablets from legitimate patients in the 1990s.
