Parents, wake up now or risk losing your child!
When it comes to drug use, Oregon holds an ugly distinction: Its rate of teenagers killed by overdose is growing faster than in any other state. Fentanyl — the potent opioid that’s driving the skyrocketing death toll — has dealt Oregon a particularly devastating blow.
High school overdoses and news of fentanyl seizures grab public attention — among Oregonians aged 15 to 24, there were 73 fentanyl-related deaths in 2021 alone, according to federal data.
Parents, talk to your kids. One recent survey of teenagers in central Oregon found 91% knew “little or nothing” about the killer drugs. Many counterfeit pills containing fentanyl are indistinguishable from oxycodone and other well known pharmaceuticals.
