💊 States look for solutions as US fentanyl deaths keep rising

As the addiction and overdose crisis that has gripped the US for two decades turns even deadlier, state governments are scrambling for ways to stem the destruction wrought by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.

In statehouses across the country, lawmakers have been considering and adopting laws on two fronts: reducing the risk to users and increasing the penalties for dealing fentanyl or mixing it with other drugs. Meanwhile, Republican state attorneys general are calling for more federal action, while some GOP governors are deploying National Guard units with a mission that includes stopping the flow of fentanyl from Mexico.

For the first time, more than 100,000 Americans had died of drug overdoses over a 12-month period. In January, 16 GOP state attorneys general sent a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling on him to exert more pressure on China and Mexico to stop the flow of fentanyl.
