FENTANYL AWARENESS

Please visit the following sites to learn more about the Fentanyl Poisoning Crisis, which is now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year olds. 

Cade tragically lost his life in his college dorm room at UW-Milwaukee just three months into his Freshman year.  Cade took what he thought was just ONE Percocet Pill.  It turned out to be fake and 100% Fentanyl.  He did not overdose, he was poisoned.  Cade's passing came as a complete and horrific shock, as he told his mom he had dabbled with some pills in early high school, but he had stopped.  

​

Cade had big dreams.  He was home the weekend before he passed and told his mom how we wanted to travel the world and that he had just talked to his advisor about changing his major to Psychology and wanted to take Philosophy courses and go into drug and alcohol counseling to help people.  These dreams were stolen from him by ONE FAKE PILL!

Any pill not purchased directly from a pharmacy through a prescription are FAKE and you need to assume it has fentanyl in it!  

​

Please educate yourself and spread the word that ONE PILL CAN KILL and that any illicit drug is now likely to have fentanyl in it.  Taking any street drug, like Xanax, Percocet, Adderall, Ecstacy, Cocaine and even now marijuana and vape cartridges is like playing Russian Roulette.  It's just not worth the risk!

​

Mexican Drug Cartels are adding Fentanyl to all street drugs because it is very cheap to produce in a lab, creates a stronger high that wears off quickly, and is highly addictive.  Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than Heroin and 100 times more potent than Morphine.  They don't care that some of their clients are dying because they are building repeat customers through addiction and the need to take it more frequently once addicted.
