Marijuana smokers alerted to potential health threat with fentanyl-laced products

Fentanyl-laced marijuana is a growing problem, according to some law enforcement agencies and the Michigan Poison & Drug Information Center — and a campaign has been launched to bring awareness to it. The MiPDC sent out an alert to those who use marijuana products of the potential public health threat. Officials caution users to only purchase marijuana products from licensed and reputable vendors and to be aware of the symptoms related to opioid use/abuse and the signs of an opioid overdose. The Guidance Center is in the process of formulating a survey that will inquire about liquor stores and tobacco shops selling THC items to minors. The group stresses the importance of storing marijuana products out of reach of children as its use or misuse can be fatal.
