The substance that claimed the lives of many stars
The fentanyl is a substance similar to morphine but is much more powerful; it has anesthetic and analgesic effects. Mixed with other drugs and with improper use, it can certainly be fatal. In recent times, this substance has appeared at various parties on both coasts of our country, and thus has alerted society about the high and improper use of it.
We remember that fentanyl was also the substance that caused the death of great artists in recent years, among which we can name Prince, Mac Miller and Tom Petty.
