[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We're in the middle of a crisis," said Jarod Forget, Special Agent in Charge of DEA’s Washington Division, which covers the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. "I've met with parents in this area, from D.C. to Maryland and Virginia. I've communicated with these parents, who found their loved ones, their son or their daughter, passed away the next morning, in their bedroom. They went to bed doing their homework, talking to their friends on the phone, playing video games, and the parents didn't think anything of it. Little did they know there was a pill purchased online."

Forget says he's heard stories like that far too often involving counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl.

"I can say in my 20 years in law enforcement, this is the most deadly drug that I've seen," Forget said, referring to fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin. [b]According to the DEA, it takes just two milligrams of fentanyl, the small amount that fits on the tip of a pencil, to be a potentially deadly dose[/b].[/quote]
