Talk about Illicit Fentanyl
Fentanyl is odorless, tasteless and extremely potent. It is used to make fake pills.
In 2023, DEA laboratory testing found seven out of 10 pills tested contain a potentially deadly dose of Fentanyl. This is an increase from six in 10 pills in 2022, and four in 10 pills in 2021.
