Fentanyl and Overdose Prevention
Talk to your youth and spread the word! Overdose deaths include young people who have not regularly used drugs. Assume any pill not given by a pharmacy or your medical provider is fake and could have a fatal dose of fentanyl or other drug. Pills purchased online are suspect--buying online and through social media allows easy access to unsafe drugs.
