The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revealed that it seized enough fentanyl in 2022 to kill all 330 million people in the US. The DEA seized 379 million potentially deadly doses of fentanyl, a highly addictive substance that is 50 times more powerful than heroin. 10,000lb of fentanyl was seized as well as over 50.6 million fentanyl pills that were made to look like prescription painkillers. The majority of the drugs are being mass-produced at in Mexico by the Sinaloa and Jalisco drug cartels, according to the DEA. Over 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021 and two-thirds of these deaths were attributed to fentanyl. The DEA also seized 131,000lb of methamphetamine, more than 4,300lb of heroin, and over 444,000lb of cocaine in 2022.
