Deadly Counterfeit Pills and Opioid Threats in the ACT
Understanding the Threat of Counterfeit Pills
Deadly counterfeit pills have surfaced in the ACT, particularly a pill mimicking oxycodone that is actually an opioid 1000 times more potent than morphine. This crisis not only poses immediate health risks but also reflects the growing dangers of drugs available on the dark web.
The Impact of Counterfeit Medications
- Severe Health Risks: Users are unknowingly consuming highly dangerous substances.
- Increased Overdose Danger: Potency far beyond expected levels leads to greater overdose incidents.
- Legal and social ramifications involving law enforcement and health services.
Authorities urge the community to be aware of this situation and to avoid purchasing medications from dubious sources.
