Fentanyl is a drug impacting every level of society, according to the special agent-in-charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Houston office.
Millions of counterfeit pills are being sold on the black market with more than half laced with fentanyl, according to the DEA.
Vasquez said more than 20% of the counterfeit pills examined at the Dallas lab are laced with fentanyl. “Right now, you have a lot of pills out there that are fake pills,” said Comeaux. “Someone could think they’re taking an Adderall, but actually they’re taking just compound ingredients with fentanyl in it.”“When you buy from the internet and social media, or when you buy from a street corner, and unfortunately, when you buy at a school or at college campuses, that’s what we’re talking about,” Comeaux said.
