"Fentanyl and other synthetic opiates were responsible for more than 71,000 fatal overdoses in the United States during 2021, according to the California Department of Health.
There is good reason for that grim statistic: Fentanyl, which often gets mixed into heroin or cocaine, not to mention bootlegged Oxycontin and Xanax pills, is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine. It’s also cheaper to produce than either of those drugs."

"For the Mexico-US bilateral relationship, combatting the trafficking of fentanyl is a priority," a Mexican government statement shared with Newsweek said. "Within the High-Level Group on Security and the North American Drug Dialogue, both countries have agreed to share information; strengthen non-intrusive equipment in critical areas such as ports of entry by air, sea, and land, canine equipment. Furthermore, there is constant training to detect fentanyl, its precursors, and analogs.""

"The synthetic opioid is so powerful, it can be smuggled in tiny quantities, said Vanda Felbab-Brown, an expert on the Mexican cartels at the Brookings Institution.
A single backpack full of pills arriving on U.S. soil could feed the street demand of an entire region, she said.
“What makes fentanyl different from cocaine or heroin is that the profit margin is much higher because the cost to produce is so much cheaper,” Felbab-Brown said."
