What is Fentanyl Free America?

Fentanyl Free America is a movement to end the synthetic opioid crisis that kills nearly 50,000 Americans every year. It involves law enforcement action, public awareness, and cross-border cooperation to stop fentanyl at every stage of the supply chain.

Where does fentanyl come from?

Most fentanyl in America starts as precursor chemicals manufactured in China. These chemicals are shipped to Mexico where cartels like Sinaloa and CJNG operate illegal labs to produce fentanyl. The finished drug is then trafficked across the U.S. border.

What does one pill can kill mean?

Counterfeit pills made by cartels often contain lethal doses of fentanyl. A single fake pill can contain enough fentanyl to kill someone, especially if they have no opioid tolerance. Many victims do not know the pill they are taking contains fentanyl.
