Raising Awareness

Fentanyl deaths accounted for more than 80 percent of all drug-related deaths among California’s young people in 2021. Most of the young victims ingested fentanyl accidentally, thinking they were using something less dangerous. Fentanyl can be up to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. Teens never know what they are getting. One pill can kill them.
