People are unknowingly ingesting Fentanyl, which is being added to other drugs, particularly Co***ne. In 2021, CT overdose deaths rose 11% from 2020. This mirrors a national trend of increasing overdose deaths. Most can be attributed to the rise in Fentanyl, which is 50% stronger than Morphine. Illicit drug use is even more dangerous these days because you simply don't know what you are putting into your body.

More than a third of drug overdose deaths involved a mix of co***ne and fentanyl, which mirrors a national trend.
