Drugs Being Laced w/ Fentanyl Are Putting Overdoses on the Rise | BK Stories

Описание: We know that drugs can kill, but now a new chemical is being put into street drugs, secretly, and it is causing waves of overdoses.
Deaths are on the rise, thanks to a synthetic opiate called fentanyl that is being used to make fake pills, cocaine, and heroin.

Fentanyl is easy to get and stronger than almost anything else out there. Find out how people are starting to test their drugs for fentanyl before they take them, using a method that is supposed to be used to test for drugs after they are in your system.

Van Asher of St. Ann's Corner of Harm Reduction, and Evelyn Milan, Director of Program Services at Vocal NY join us to talk about the wave sweeping this community.
