According to newly released data, fentanyl overdose is the number one killer for people between the ages of 18-45.

Nearly 79,000 people have died from fentanyl overdose between 2020 and 2021.

Data is now suggesting that the drug overdosage has surpassed Covid that killed more than 53,000 people during that same time frame.

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, both Mexico and China are the primary sources for the fentanyl flow into America.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. It is reportedly similar to morphine, but it is 50 to 100 times more potent.

Families against fentanyl are working to make lawmakers designate the drug as a weapon of mass destruction.
