π¨ The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has a serious warning for everyone! Fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills are becoming increasingly DEADLY!
π¬π¨ The latest DEA Laboratory tests reveal that out of the fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills examined in 2022, a staggering 60% now have a POTENTIALLY LETHAL dose of fentanyl! π This is a sharp rise compared to the previous report in 2021, where only 40% were found to contain a potentially lethal dose.
Your safety matters! Stay informed and protect yourself from these dangerous counterfeit pills. Visit the DEA website for more information: https://tinyurl.com/1PillCanKill
