The national epidemic of fentanyl abuse has reached Payson. Det. Mike Varga with the Payson Police Department gave a live Facebook presentation April 14 on the drugs affecting the Rim Country community today.
He said drugs popular in the past â methamphetamine and heroin â have been overtaken by fentanyl, either used directly or laced into heroin and even marijuana.
Varga said most illegal fentanyl is manufactured in China and imported by Mexican drug cartels and brought into the U.S.
He explained fentanyl was first developed in 1960 for anesthesiology and to relieve pain for some cancer patients.
The first wave of fentanyl was seen in the Rim Country in late 2019 when it was being laced into heroin. It became more prevalent in early to mid 2020, he said.
