Fentanyl

Fentanyl has found its way into illegal drug markets where its high potency is killing people. It is often mixed with other drugs, which significantly increases the risk of overdose, as users may not know it’s been added or that what they are taking is laced with fentanyl.

The drastic increase in opioid overdose deaths is largely due to Fentanyl poisoning. Illegal Fentanyl is cheaper than most other drugs on the streets and is being intentionally substituted into cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and other drugs to make more money and get people hooked.
