Illicit Fentanyl: What it is and why it’s so dangerous

Illicit fentanyl, which is fentanyl sold illegally through laced counterfeit pills, nasal sprays, eye drops, candy, and even other illicit drugs, claims over 72,000 lives a year. The use of illicit fentanyl is becoming more and more common among teens.
