PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A strain of fentanyl that’s resistant to Narcan has made its way to Western Pennsylvania. It’s hundreds of times more powerful than morphine and is already causing overdose deaths.

“If Acryl fentanyl is introduced into the population, it can have devastating effects,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge, David Battiste. “You would have to reuse Narcan if you are revived from Narcan at all.”

According to the DEA, Acryl fentanyl is being manufactured overseas, smuggled into the U.S., and sold mainly on the dark web.

“We suspect China as one of the manufacturers, Canada, Mexico and the like,” said Battiste.

According to the DEA, there have been two overdose fatalities in Western Pennsylvania, one in Butler County in November of 2016 and one in Beaver County in January of 2017. Unlike fentanyl and carfentanil, which have legitimate medical purposes for humans and animals respectively, Acryl fentanyl serves no legitimate purpose.

According to the DEA, it’s still unclear just how resistant it is and why it’s resistant.

The NBA and Disney will be releasing statements soon condemning this obvious slander of the great and just People's Republic of China.

Produced in China under the brand name "Yankee Poison".

Or "Roundup for Roundeye".

Not accurate, it’s not resistant, it just takes a lot more narcan

Good! A lot of our problem would be solved if we weren't giving out Narcan. Adults made a decision to put that crap in their bodies knowing it would kill them. Honor their decision.

So there is a drug out there that's pretty much guaranteed death AND is made in China to boot and people out there are "I've gotta get me some of that!"?

All due respect to the future deceased but it seems like we're killing two birds with one stone with the whole reducing overpopulation/getting rid of very stupid people deal.

How does one enjoy such a high without dying?

They are constantly chasing an experience similar to their first high. To try to get that, they buy stronger stuff.

I may be wrong, but I don't think many people are calling up their dealer asking, "bruh you got any of that fentanyl?". Distributors and/or dealers are cutting powder heroin with fentanyl, as it is much cheaper and much stronger.

Honestly, it's the only way this might end. If enough people actually die, maybe it will encourage others not to follow.
