Once illicit fentanyl is distributed in local American drug markets, many people who use drugs (whether heroin or prescription pain pills) are unaware of the presence of the more potent fentanyl in their narcotic. As fentanyl used in suspected heroin or counterfeit pills is more potent than the drugs they resemble, it readily leads to overdosing. Alternatively, the improper mixing of fentanyl can easily lead to batches of pills with a higher concentration of fentanyl, what is known as âhot spotsâ, leading to overdose and death.
grok (third-person singular simple present groks, present participle grokking, simple past and past participle grokked) (transitive, slang) To understand (something) intuitively.
To know (something) without having to think intellectually (such as knowing the number of objects in a collection without needing to count them: see subitize). 1961, Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land, page 107: I do not grok all fullness of what I read. In the history written by Master William Shakespeare I found myself full of happiness at the death of Romeo. Then I read on and learned that he had discorporated too soon â or so I thought I grokked.
