It's easy to overdose. Most incidents are accidental, an unintended consequence of using counterfeit prescription or street drugs with unknown additives.
The substances causing these overdoses are many and easy to obtain.

Fentanyl, an extremely dangerous drug, is increasingly found in all types of street drugs.
Our kids can easily access many drugs online and at homes!
