According to the CDC, 107,375 people in the United States died of drug
overdoses and drug poisonings in the 12-month period ending in January
2022. A staggering 67 percent of those deaths involved synthetic
opioids like fentanyl. Some of these deaths were attributed to
fentanyl mixed with other illicit drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine,
and heroin, with many users unaware they were actually taking
fentanyl. Only two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially
lethal dose; it's particularly dangerous for someone who does not have
a tolerance to opioids.
