When teens use drugs, they’re at risk of taking fake pills. Fake pills can often contain fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that’s up to 50 times stronger than he**in and 100 times stronger than morphine. It only takes a tiny amount to cause a fatal overdose.

Keep your teen safe and have a real conversation about drugs’ toxic effects at CDC.gov/FreeMind/Parents
