The DEA Missed Fentanyl
The DEA missed fentanyl. They did not see it coming. According to their estimates, only 700 people died from fentanyl overdose in 2014. But very soon after, the problem would be clear. In 2016, according to the NIH, almost 20,000 people would die from synthetic opioid overdoses. Most of that fentanyl came from China.
