Two Texas families are speaking out after losing their sons to a dangerous synthetic opioid up to 43 times more potent than fentanyl and, in some cases, resistant to the overdose-reversal drug Narcan, as reported by The New York Post.



The drug, known as nitazene, has been linked to multiple deaths in the United States and is now drawing urgent warnings from grieving parents and law enforcement officials.
 
On January 26, 2024, 22-year-old Lucci Reyes-McCallister died near Houston after taking what he believed was a Xanax pill.
 
According to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, the pill was laced with N-Pyrrolidino Protonitazene, a nitazene variant 25 times more lethal than fentanyl. His mother, Grey McCallister, said she had never heard of the drug until her son’s death.

A couple of questions come to mind: 1) Why is a 22 year old taking a anxiety medication he was not prescribed?
2) Why are the youth of America taking anything not directly  prescribed for them, given the potential to be messed up with these deadly drugs?
