Fentanly Detection

Today’s Wall Street Journal reports that recreational drug users at parties and nightclubs increasingly use fentanyl test strips before engaging in drug use. Singer‐​songwriter Kalie Shorr, who has lost a sister and childhood friend to drug overdoses, keeps them with her in her purse and offers them to partiers and nightclub goers:

Fentanyl has caused more deadly overdoses in recent years than any other opioid, and it has increasingly become a main focus of the fight against drugs. As a result, government officials and leaders in the private sector alike are beginning to see the need to create a unified response to the crisis and work to reduce overdose deaths throughout the world..

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – A new bill introduced by 7th District Representative Abigail Spanberger (D) could help police officers get the tools they need to detect and identify dangerous drugs on the field.
