    Appreciate your efforts but please stop calling it “overdosing”. If it is Fentanyl, it is a “poisoning”. And all too often, it is a naive teen, not an addict, looking to escape anxiety or something of the like, who thinks they’re buying Xanax or Percocet, yet it is Fentanyl and they are tragically killed.
