New Fentanyl legislation

 Beehiv - President Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act into law during a ceremony at the White House... The bipartisan law permanently classifies all fentanyl-related substances (FRS) as Schedule I drugs and imposes stricter penalties for trafficking. Under the new law, possession of 100 grams or more of any fentanyl analogue now carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison....

Fentanyl and its chemical variants have become the leading cause of death in the United States for adults between the ages of 18 and 45. According to federal health data, over 75,000 Americans died from synthetic opioid-related overdoses in 2023. Fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs or sold in counterfeit pills, making it especially dangerous and difficult to detect.
