October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month in Texas. As part of Red Ribbon Week and in accordance with Tucker's Law, we're helping students understand the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of making safe choices.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly, even in very small amounts. It is sometimes found in counterfeit pills that look like real prescription medications. It can also appear in brightly colored pills, sometimes called "rainbow fentanyl," that may resemble candy.

You can't tell if something is safe just by looking at it! Never take an unfamiliar pill or substance, even if someone says it's safe.

๐น Why might a pill or something that looks like candy still be dangerous?
๐น What would you do if a friend offered you a pill or something unfamiliar?
๐น Who is a trusted adult you could talk to if you found something suspicious or felt unsafe?
