The warning follows overdoses and deaths in both Lennox and Addington and the Hastings-Prince Edward region.
Fentanyl is a powerful painkiller – estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, police said in a news release. Carfentanil is a related opioid drug not intended for use by humans. Both may be mixed into street drugs and can kill, even in small quantities, police noted.
