increased 631 percent since 2009, with traffickers 
introducing an average of 80 new substances to the

rector of the Houston High Intensity Drug Traf-
ficking Areas (HITDA) program testified in Con-

million counterfeit pills containing one milligram of 
fentanyl, saying, ‘‘Currently in Houston, Texas, you 
can buy a kilogram of fentanyl for an average price 
of $25,000 to $30,000. This same kilogram of 
fentanyl in Culiaca´n (Mexico) could be purchased at 
an average price of $13,500. Currently, the price of 
a fentanyl pill in Houston ranges from $6 to $65.
