The first step is to acknowledge the severity of the fentanyl crisis and give this ongoing tragedy the attention and resources it is due.The United States is in the grips of a fentanyl crisis that doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves.
Since 1999, roughly one million Americans have died of drug overdoses. About two-thirds of the deaths now are from synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl. Something like 50 times more potent than heroin by weight, fentanyl is the perfect drug for producers and dealers. It’s easy and fast to make, and readily transportable.
Huge shipments aren’t necessary — a small amount can be secreted in a package, or in a vehicle, or on a person. Someone in the United States only needs an internet connection and mailing address to acquire and distribute fentanyl. With such a potent drug, bad dosing or taking it without knowledge is potentially deadly. The drug is a clear and present danger to the 3 million Americans addicted to opioids, and anyone consuming anything on the illegal drug market.
