Description

Carfentanil, the active ingredient in the pills seized by the DEA (pictured) is about 100 times stronger than fentanyl.

Federal agents and local police seized thousands of counterfeit opioid pills at a gas station in Centralia, Washington, on Sept. 16, prompting the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to put out a warning that a drug “100 times more deadly than fentanyl” was on the streets in the Pacific Northwest.
