Fentanyl testing materials will be legalized in Mississippi
Fox News
Mississippi is legalizing materials that will allow people to test illegal drugs to ensure they are not laced with fentanyl. The bill will become law on Jul. 1.
"It’s a sad reality that fentanyl overdoses are skyrocketing as a result of an open border," Reeves wrote on Twitter. "This bill will help to save lives."
Fentanyl is not illegal and is used in hospitals nationwide, but it is also widely added to illegal drugs sold on the street and is blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths every year in the United States. A report last year from a bipartisan federal commission found that fentanyl and similar drugs are being made mostly in labs in Mexico from chemicals shipped primarily from China.
