Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. These drugs contribute significantly to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the United States. Fentanyl, along with other synthetics, is the leading cause of overdose deaths. Even a small amount, such as 2mg, equivalent to the tip of a pencil, can be lethal to an average American. Over 150 individuals succumb daily to overdoses linked to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

There are various addictive and dangerous substances that people in our community may access. This newsletter intends to highlight Fentanyl, Tranq (Xylazine), and Opiates which are substances causing serious health problems in the United States. People are now able to obtain these drugs via internet sources. This process only compounds the substance abuse crisis.

The Mahwah Municipal Alliance offers a community liaison that acts as an advocate for those families and individuals struggling with addiction and substance abuse.

This week, the DEA released a Public Safety Alert warning the American public of the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine. The Public Safety Alert launches One Pill Can Kill, DEA’s new public awareness campaign to educate Americans on the dangers of counterfeit pills and how to stay safe.
