Montana Law Enforcement Shares Update On Fentanyl Crackdown

Whether or not you were ever on board for the "war on drugs", one thing's for sure: drug dealers know no boundaries and don't care where they do business. All they care about is doing business.

But that ain't happening here; not on the watch of Montana law enforcement.

What Is Fentanyl? Why Is Fentanyl Dangerous?

Before we dive into our law enforcement disrupting a fentanyl ring in Montana, we first have to understand: what is fentanyl?

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, fentanyl "is an opioid drug, like morphine or heroin." NIDA also says that there is nothing "natural" about the drug as it is 100% made in a lab. It's also extremely addictive which makes it that much more dangerous.

A dose as small as the tip of a pencil can be fatal and cause the user to overdose.
