After fentanyl began to hit Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2014, “we saw Magic Bullet blenders all the time,” along with similar brands of blenders, said John Hartnett, corporal in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Clandestine Lab unit. “There didn’t seem to be any concern [among mixers] about the impact that this might have. This was the easiest way to blend their product and good enough, in their opinion.”
