Fentanyl

Don't be fooled…fentanyl is a very dangerous drug with tragic consequences when used improperly. It's a pain medication that is 100 times more potent than morphine. Its properties are very similar to heroin, and despite the fact that it has legitimate medical uses, it is every bit as dangerous as the heroin available on the street. Recently, there have been numerous deaths around the country from heroin mixed with fentanyl. And there have been many deaths from fentanyl alone.

It comes in a number of forms—patches, solid sticks and powder. As a legitimate medication, it is used to help people who are suffering from extreme pain, and as an anesthetic.
