Deaths from fake pills with fentanyl are surging across the country as well as here in our own community.  Teens are purchasing what they think are OxyContin, Percoset or Xanax pills via social media, but drug dealers are making these fake pills with the cheaper, stronger and more deadly synthetic drug called fentanyl to increase their profits. Fentanyl is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl is odorless, tasteless and colorless. Teens never know what they’re getting. One pill can kill them. One pill. Dealers are lacing pills and other items such as gummy bears and candies with Fentanyl. These items are brightly colored and easily marketed towards teenagers and young adults. An example is shown below.
