August 21st is what the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognize as National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. It is a day to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, share ways to prevent fatal overdose and remember those who have lost their life to the drug.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid up to fifty times stronger than heroin and up to 100 times stronger than morphine, making it one of the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths.
So far this year, there have been more fentanyl-related deaths here in the Coachella Valley than in any other part of Riverside County. Our I-Team reporter Karen Devine investigated this in her her most recent fentanyl crisis I-Team report; Fentanyl Flashpoint.

Mods pull at your discretion.
Drug deaths nationwide hit a new record in 2022. 109,680 people died as the fentanyl crisis continued to deepen, according to preliminary data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So Fentanyl kill twice as many as guns or four times as many when removing those committing suicide by gun.
The US Government on Fentanyl control..... cricket sounds....
One could argue that Fentanyl deaths are suicide deaths.
My son is an officer in the local small town. Saturday a week ago on his shift alone they had four OD’s. Three were heroin mixed with fentanyl and one was straight fentanyl. He narcanned one himself. This is a small town in the eastern Kentucky mountains.
Power comes by addicting People to drugs. Thank God our government would never do anything like that.
.......National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day......
NO MORE THIRD-WORLD IMMIGRATION!!!!
Deport ALL biden-era illegal immigrants! Deport them by ship (Operation Wetback 2)!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback
Deport or jail the bidens and the obamas, too!!!
That is the ONLY way to stop the fentanyl problem!!
Maybe people should prevent themselves from using fentanyl .
đ§.... more like assisted suicide
Follow Nancy’s advice....no not that Nancy
And all other drugs for that matter.
So are we going to bomb the cartels into extinction?
No?
Then how do we prevent fentanyl from entering the USA?
So the government is warning us about the dangers of this drug while, at the same time, welcome the importation of the drug by drug cartels coming through our open borders. It take a special kind of stupid to run this country today.
âChina remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States,â the DEA report says.Jan 8, 2023
How we deal with China and south of the border incoming drug matters? Still unknown. Chinese don’t have to spend on ammo if so many Americans are dying and others are committing crimes to feed their habits.
If they cared about fentanyl they wouldnât promote open borders
When is national deport wetbacks day?
Saint George Floyd should be the poster boy.
George Floyd is proof that you can become Fentanyl-Free.
Somebody out to let Mayorkas know ... maybe he could have his partner Sinaloa and Gulf Cartels take a day off.
GOP talk of military action in Mexico sparks dire warnings
https://thehill.com/latino/4170236-gop-talk-of-military-action-in-mexico-sparks-dire-warnings/
We need to invade Mexico (yet Again...) and take control of the Mexican ports where the shipments of Fentanyl come in from China. Maybe our Military can’t/won’t be bribed by the Cartels...
