Key Points

  • The Senate officially named April 29, 2026, as National Fentanyl Awareness Day. This day is meant to teach families and young people about the dangers of fake pills that look like real medicine.
  • Drug dealers are making fake pills that look like common painkillers or anxiety meds but actually contain fentanyl. Just two milligrams of fentanyl can be a deadly dose for most people.
  • Fentanyl is a major problem for young people. Between 2019 and 2021, drug deaths for teenagers jumped by 128 percent, which is much higher than the increase for any other age group.
  • The resolution honors the work of police and government agencies trying to stop these drugs. It also points out that many teens still do not know that fentanyl is being hidden in fake pills.
