Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is killing Alaskans. In a report released in September of 2023 about drug overdose deaths in Alaska it was noted that “Fentanyl was involved in four out of five opioid overdose deaths, and many of these fentanyl-involved overdose deaths involved an additional substance, such as methamphetamine or heroin.”
On this episode we hear remarks from an FBI Special Agent recorded live at an event titled “Discover the Truth about Fentanyl in Alaska,” that was hosted January 26, 2024, by the FBI Anchorage Citizens Academy Alumni Association and held at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage.
