Would this level be independently fatal for a habitual user?
Asking an expert.

Fair question, but almost certainly yes. If you panic-eat a much larger dose of a fatal narcotic than you'd ordinarily use recreationally, whatever developed tolerance you have relative to your standard recreational dose of that drug becomes kind of an irrelevant factor. Heroin addicts almost always die by overdose accidentally, when they happen to take just a smidge more than is required to kill them. Most heroin addicts have been extremely close to a lethal od several times, it's just that those times don't seem particularly meaningful because, hey, they eventually wake up. It's a very simple science experiment; how many breaths per minute are too few to deprive your brain of oxygen long enough that you die. You only get to learn that number once. Why people are treating the huge megadose fentanyl finding as some kind of unimportant curiosity is baffling to me.
