Introducing Our New Fake Pills: Fentanyl Kills™ 3-D Display
Substance abuse and drug overdose are major, ongoing public health threats in the United States. According to most recent estimates, almost 111,000 overdose deaths occurred in the 12-month period ending in March of 2023. The majority of these deaths are the result of illicitly produced fentanyl and methamphetamine, which often have been combined with other dangerous drugs, such as cocaine and heroin.
Fentanyl is an extremely powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin. Every day, more than 150 people in the United States die from drug overdoses related to synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, making fentanyl overdose a leading cause of death among adults ages 18–45.
