Street drugs are being laced with fentanyl – an opioid 100 times more powerful than morphine.
When you are getting drugs from anywhere other than a pharmacy or medical professional, like from a friend or dealer, there is no way to be sure exactly what is in them, or how potent they may be.
Fentanyl is also being pressed into counterfeit pills that are being made to look like prescription drugs.
