Today, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s office issued a stark warning – Rainbow Fentanyl is on the streets, and it’s deadly.

The deadly narcotic is manufactured to look like candies that could be attractive to children and teens. The discovery came from a recent fentanyl fake M30 pill seizure in the Sacramento region.

In the announcement, District Attorney Ann Marie Schubert “urges parents, guardians, educators and community leaders to talk to kids and teens about the fentanyl epidemic, how they’re being targeted with rainbow pills and how to avoid becoming a victim of fentanyl poisoning.”

Quick facts:

Fentanyl is deadly: just a few grains can kill
Fentanyl is everywhere: fake pills, powders, party drugs, now rainbow pills disguised as candy
99% of Oxycodone M30 pills seized and tested in Sacramento County contain fentanyl
It’s virtually impossible to tell if a pill, or any form of a drug, is fake and contains fentanyl
If a drug didn’t come from a pharmacy, assume it contains fentanyl
