Thank you for sharing this. I was just reading about a presentation at my D’s college on this frightening trend. I wasn’t aware this had become such a widespread problem and was unaware fentanyl is also being added to prescription to pills.
Yes, we need to speak openly with our kids about this. There are heartbreaking stories.
The presentation was led by Dr. Beth Weinstock, who lost her son in 2021 to unintentional fentanyl ingestion. Her organization, Birdielight, works to educate young people on this risk.
