Fentanyl remains the deadliest drug threat facing this country.
Attend a short discussion with local experts and expand your knowledge on how fentanyl poisoning has impacted North Texas. Learn what you can do to protect yourself and loved ones. Event starts at 6:00 p.m. Wed. Oct. 19 at McKinney ISD Community Event Center. The program is free and open to the public. A Q&A discussion will follow the screening of an 18 minute documentary, Fentanyl Factor, which highlights the alarming increase of accidental overdose deaths due to the mixing or 'lacing' of fentanyl with other substances such as heroin, cocaine, and counterfeit prescription pills.
