Abuse of fentanyl can also come with many dangers. Since fentanyl is so potent, it can be highly addictive and come with more severe side effects than other opioids. Fentanyl is commonly laced or taken with other drugs during recreational use, making it particularly dangerous and increasing the risk of overdose. According to the CDC, 72.9% of all opioid overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl.4 This shows just how dangerous abuse of these substances can be.
