Drug Traffickers are Spreading Synthetic Fentanyl and Meth in New Ways

Drug traffickers are distributing synthetic fentanyl and meth in new forms. Deadly, fake pills made and deceptively marketed to look like real medicine. 6 out of 10 Fentanyl-Laced Fake Prescription Pills Contain a Lethal Dose.

Six out of ten fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills analyzed by the DEA Laboratory in 2022 contained a lethal dose. This is up from the DEA’s 2021 announcement that four of ten fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills contained a potentially lethal dose.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration warns of a nationwide rise in the lethality of fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills. Administrator Anne Milgram noted that the number of pills that can kill increased from four to six.

Mexico’s Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels mass-produce these pills. Avoid taking unprescribed pills. Take no pills from friends. Avoid social media-bought pills. One pill is deadly and Ohio State Highway Patrol shared a tweet on January 28, 2023, saying that #One pill can Kill you can watch the tweet below:

The drug threats facing the U.S. are more pervasive & lethal than ever before with drug traffickers distributing synthetic fentanyl & meth in new forms –deadly, fake pills, made & deceptively marketed to look like real medicine. #OnePillCanKill Learn more: https://t.co/1oPfY2EDIY pic.twitter.com/hxNIwkNuca

— Ohio State Highway Patrol (@OSHP) January 28, 2023

The DEA issued a Public Safety Alert on fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills last year. The Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco (CJNG) Cartel make these deadly pills look like OxyContin®, Percocet®, and Xanax®. The DEA seized 20.4 million counterfeit pills in 2021.

The DEA seized 10.2 million fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills in all 50 states in three months during a nationwide operational surge earlier this year. The DEA’s One Pill Can Kill campaign warns Americans about fake prescription pills.

Fentanyl is America’s deadliest drug. It is a highly addictive synthetic opioid 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Two milligrams of fentanyl—the amount on a pencil tip can be fatal. The CDC reported 107,622 drug poisoning deaths in 2021 with 66% involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels in Mexico using Chinese chemicals traffic most of the fentanyl in the US.
