[ARCHIVED] National Fentanyl Awareness Day

National Fentanyl Awareness Day 2023

May 9th, 2023 is Fentanyl Awareness Day. It is all about educating and raising awareness. Prevention is key and by sharing information on the deadly effects of fentanyl, you may save a life.

- Fentanyl is often added to illicit drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and recently marijuana. It is best to say NO to all illicit drugs. It only takes a small amount of fentanyl to be lethal.

- Keep in mind that any pill or powder drug not prescribed by a doctor may contain fentanyl! Fentanyl has been made to resemble other pills, such as Xanax and Oxycodone. 

Never take a pill that wasn’t prescribed directly to you. Never take a pill from a friend. Never take a pill bought on social media. #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay #JustSayKNOW
