okay, whew, lets not get ahead of ourselves here,
lets be honest, some kid in recent history thought "china white" sounded cool, and thought that since the original china white was a fentanyl analogue, that he could just tell all his friends that the fentanyl he stole out of someone's medicine cabinet was "china white", and everyone just went with it because they were all dumbasses too.
Anyone who knew better was too polite to say "you're a dumbass." when they called fentanyl china white, and the ball just kept on rolling
