Fentanyl has changed the illicit drug game

Counterfeit pills are everywhere. You can't trust any pill you get online, on social media, or even one from a friend!

Fentanyl is flooding into our country with apparently no way of stopping it, except perhaps by understanding its danger and withdrawing the demand for it.

This book challenges every young person to: Protect Yourself! Nobody else can do it. The book emphasizes the value of each person and the fact that each is irreplaceable to their family, friends, and communities.

With a number of real life stories of fentanyl tragedies, the book offers a variety of instances in which a life is lost. In some cases, it is through substance addiction, in others through experimentation, or accidental ingestion of a single pill. A young reader is encouraged to guard their own life and make good choices!

Some of Snapchat's features that set it apart from other apps, like automatically deleted messages, are especially attractive to drug dealers, the lawsuit alleges, making illegal activities harder to track.
