Fentanyl kills more than gun and auto deaths combined!
Instead of coming from poppies, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is created in a lab using precursor molecules. It has 100 times the potency of morphine and 50 times the potency of heroin combined. Two milligrams of fentanyl is typically regarded as a deadly dosage for the majority of people, according to the DEA. This is the same as a handful of salt.

Heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills all contain fentanyl that was produced against the law. In the United States, an additional 1.2 million people will have lost their lives as a result of opioid-fentanyl drug overdoses by the end of this decade, according to a significant study that was published in the medical journal Lancet.[/dropshadowbox]Fentanyl was created as a potent analgesic for cancer patients nearing the end of their lives. It can be given as an injection, patch, or lozenge in a medical environment. Covertly manufactured fentanyl is typically a powder that is mixed with other drugs (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, even marijuana) or compressed into phony tablets that resemble Molly, OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, Alprazolam, Adderall, or other pills.
