Did you know that…
- - Unsuspecting teens in our community are getting counterfeit pills made from
deadly fentanyl on social media.
- - Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than
morphine.
- - You can’t smell or taste fentanyl. You can’t tell if there’s fentanyl in the
pills by looking at them.
- - The amount of fentanyl that it takes to overdose is equivalent to 2 grains
of sand.
Attendees will be provided with a presentation on fentanyl
in Pierce County and engage in a community conversation about the dangers of
fentanyl with law enforcement, district representatives, and health experts.
