A drug that’s eight times stronger than heroin is legally floating on the market in most U.S. states—and the potentially deadly impact of the synthetic opioid is causing some alarm.

Pink, otherwise known as U-47700, is part of a family of powerful synthetic opioids including carfentanil, ifentanyl and furanyl fentanyl. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime described it as having “effects very similar to morphine and heroin, but with a significantly shorter duration of action.”

It’s only illegal in four states and can be purchased online for as little as $5. The drug comes in pill form, a powder and even a mist.
