Please see the link below: drug warning has been issued in North Bay, by the North Bay Police Service.

The North Bay Police Service is issuing a high priority Community Safety Alert following a recent investigation that indicates both Carfentanil and Fluorofentanyl may be present in the local illicit drug supply.

Full details & safety tips:
northbaypolice.ca/news-releases/community-safety-alert-suspected-presence-of-carfentanil-and-fluorofentanyl-in-local-illicit-drug-supply

“Carfentanil and Fluorofentanyl are not typical street drugs,” said Acting Deputy Chief Jeff Warner. “In humans, exposure can be deadly within minutes, even without ingestion. Anyone using drugs or working around them absolutely need to take every possible precaution. We urge all community members to stay informed, remain cautious, and look out for one another.”

These highly potent synthetic opioids are extremely dangerous and pose a significant risk to users, first responders, health care providers, and the broader community.

🔹 Carfentanil is up to 100x stronger than fentanyl and 10,000x stronger than morphine. It’s legally used only to sedate large animals like elephants—not approved for human use.

🔹 Fluorofentanyl is a fentanyl variant, chemically altered with a fluorine atom, and can be up to 2x as strong. It’s often found in counterfeit pills or mixed with other drugs.

Both are Schedule I substances under Canada’s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. They may be found in opioids and non-opioid street drugs (e.g. co***ne, m**h, counterfeit tablets), often without the user’s knowledge. They can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled and may appear in powder, tablet, blotter, or spray form.

GOOD SAMARITAN DRUG OVERDOSE ACT:

If you call 911 during an overdose, you are protected under the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act. This law provides immunity from simple drug possession charges when emergency services are called to the scene of an overdose. Your call could save a life.
