Opiates, potent pain-relieving substances, span from prescription medications like Morphine and Oxycodone to perilous illegal drugs such as Heroin or synthetically crafted Fentanyl. All are highly addictive.
Misuse of opioids can result in severe outcomes, including respiratory distress, loss
of consciousness, and fatal overdose, posing a significant risk of death.
Danger: Fentanyl - More Deadly Than You Think!
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, poses a grave threat. Its potency can render you helpless or, in the worst-case scenario, lead to fatality. Stay Safe! Avoid non-prescribed opioid use.
