🚨 POLYSUBSTANCE USE: THE NEW REALITY OF THE DRUG CRISIS 🚨

Many people think they're using one substance. The truth is, they may be exposed to several.

Today's illicit drug supply is increasingly contaminated or mixed with dangerous substances such as fentanyl, xylazine, medetomidine, nitazenes, and other synthetic drugs. This is known as polysubstance use—the use of more than one substance at the same time, whether intentionally or unknowingly.

Why is it so dangerous?

⚠️ Increased risk of overdose
⚠️ Breathing can slow or stop
⚠️ Greater strain on the heart and body
⚠️ Higher risk of unconsciousness and death
⚠️ More difficult recovery and treatment

The danger is no longer just one drug. It's what else may be mixed into it.

This is why education must go beyond fentanyl alone. Pills, powders, smoke, liquids, and other forms of illicit substances may contain multiple dangerous compounds.

💜 Knowledge saves lives.
💜 Awareness saves families.

Every Form. Every Risk. Don't Risk It.

Learn it. Share it. End the stigma.
