Counterfeit Fentanyl pills are responsible for numerous Opiate Overdoses and Deaths in and around our region. Fentanyl-Laced fake prescription pills can contain a Lethal dose of Fentanyl in just one pill.

2 Milligrams – The amount on the end of this pencil can be enough to kill an average American.
