The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has said it seized enough fentanyl in 2022 to kill every person in America.

In a statement on Tuesday, the DEA said it had seized 50.6m fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills and more than 10,000lb of fentanyl powder this year – seizures that in total represent more than 379 million deadly doses…

According to the DEA, fentanyl is the most deadly drug threat currently facing the US. Two milligrams of the opioid, enough to fit on a pencil tip, is considered a potentially deadly dose…

The announcement followed an alert last month that warned the US public of a sharp increase in the lethality of fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills.

Someone says to you, “Here. Try one of these!” Don’t be dumb enough to take it and pop it in your mouth.
