It should be noted that Fentanyl is very powerful drug.
Addiction expert and founder of Origins Behavioral Healthcare, Ben Levenson, previously shared withPEOPLE just how potent the drug is.
“It’s very, very powerful. 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and 25 to 50 times more potent than heroin. Depending on the grade, about 40 times more potent than heroin.”
