DEA: One Pill Can Kill

The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Public Safety Alert warning Americans of the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine.

  • DEA lab testing reveals that 7 out of every 10 pills with fentanyl contain a potentially lethal dose. 
  • Did you know that you cannot buy a legitimate pharmaceutical drug on social media? Not only is it not safe, it is illegal.
  • The only safe medications are ones that come from licensed and accredited medical professionals. Pills purchased outside of a licensed pharmacy are illegal, dangerous, and potentially lethal.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is making drugs more deadly. The Ad Council created the "Drop the F*Bomb" campaign to educate parents about fentanyl and encourage them to be explicit with their kids about the unique risk fentanyl poses.  This website offers tips and resources for talking about fentanyl with your kids.

"This is not a 'Just Say No' conversation. This is 'Just Say Know.' Most kids aren’t seeking fentanyl, they get it by accident. Just knowing that it is hidden in fake pills and other drugs empowers them and helps them stay safe. And it opens the door to conversations about healthier ways to deal with stress.
