Movements act to end overdoses from tainted drugs

Ohmefentanyl, acetylfentanyl, butyrfentanyl, furanylfentanyl and carfentanil are some of the fentanyl analogues that are pervasive in the drug supply in the U.S. and Canada. These drugs are similar in structure to other, usually criminalized drugs.
It used to be that only heroin and benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin, were tainted with fentanyl analogues. Now they can be found in drugs like methamphetamines and cocaine, as evident in a recent spike of overdoses in Philadelphia’s restaurant industry.
In response to this, movements are starting to rise up to deal with the problem themselves. Groups like NEXT Distro – which crosses national boundaries – provide harm-reduction supplies like fentanyl test strips, Narcan and clean needles.
