DEA: Fake opioid pills laced with fentanyl are 'existential threat' to US

Fake opiod pills laced with fentanyl called ?Mexi-blues? or the ?blues? on the streets are driving the spikes in addiction, crime, homelessness and death. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched a public awareness campaign called ?One Pill Can Kill? and has been targeting the efforts of Mexican cartels to smuggle the pills across the border. ?This is an existential threat to the United States. China and Mexico are flooding our city streets with poison,? said Frank Tarentino, DEA Special Agent in Charge of the Seattle Field Division in an in-depth interview.
