The United States needs to ramp up enforcement against every step of the manufacturing and trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly synthetic drugs if it hopes to stem the crisis. With every passing day, however, the path to success gets narrower as the criminal organizations involved get more sophisticated. More than 100,000 Americans died of an overdose last year; of which more than 70,000 overdosed on synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, according to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   Honestly, I think the numbers are grossly under-reported.  

In one window lasting 28 days at AAC, there were at least 5 in-house fentanyl related ambulance visits ON THE CAMPUS.  How is someone supposed to "break free" from addiction if the drug that's killing them follows them even to a controlled environment.    This drug finds its way into innocuous "escapes", a beer or medically legal joint could be laced.   

AAC and other drug rehabs should perhaps consider a drug sniffing Belgian Malinois  security dog on campus at all times.   New position, new job, great for the economy.
