The threat of fentanyl is deadlier and more pervasive than ever before. Illicit fentanyl does not discriminate. People of every demographic are dying from this poison. The Chinese Communist Party is incentivizing the production of illicit Fentanyl and its precursors for export, mainly targeting the United States. Nobody knows this better than Adrienne Sautter, who lost her son to fentanyl poisoning when he was just 19 years old. He took a single pill that was supposed to be a pharmaceutical narcotic, Percocet, but it was a counterfeit pill made entirely from fentanyl and binder. Today, Adrienne is the director of media relations for Facing Fentanyl, a not-for-profit national advocacy group warning the public about the dangers of illicit fentanyl.
