Fentanyl Message
Law enforcement in our area is seeing overdoses and deaths among Northland teens and young adults linked to pills that appear to be prescription pills. Often referred to as “percs” or “M-30’s,” these illegal pills are laced with the deadly drug fentanyl and it’s impossible to tell which are counterfeit. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Just traces of the drug fentanyl can be fatal. These pills are being sold on the black market and there is no regulation of any kind.
1. Emphasize to your kids to never take a pill from anyone or anywhere that isn’t prescribed to them by a doctor and out of its original container.
2. Let teens know you will help them if they are seeking relief from feelings of anxiety or depression.
3. Assure your child that their mental wellbeing is a priority and then make a plan to get help together.
4. Practice scenarios and talk through what to say if the teen is offered something.
