Abstract
Adolescents who want to experiment with drugs are not seeking illicit fentanyl, and in fact many believe what they are taking is a benzodiazepine or another prescription medication, but in fact, it's a counterfeit masking as a seemingly safer medication and containing illicit fentanyl, which can be lethal even for those who are tolerant to opioids. For naïve users, they are fatal.
