Fentanyl Awareness

What is Fentanyl? 

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It is often found in illicit drugs, significantly increasing the risk of overdose due to its high potency and the difficulty in detecting its presence.

Even a small amount can be fatal, making it one of the most dangerous substances involved in the opioid crisis. Understanding fentanyl and its risks is crucial for preventing accidental exposure and saving lives.

How Can You Stay Safe?

First, avoid using drugs from unknown sources. You should also learn about the risks of fentanyl and share this knowledge to help raise awareness in your community.
