The one rule
Color tells you nothing about dose or danger. Treat any pill or powder that did not come from a pharmacy as if it could contain fentanyl.
Hold on to this one fact above the rest. You cannot judge a street drug by looking at it.

Bright dye does not mean stronger, and a plain white pill is not safer. Fentanyl has no reliable taste or smell, and it is routinely mixed into other drugs without the buyer’s knowledge.
The rainbow is a distraction. Assume any non-pharmacy pill or powder could contain fentanyl.

The supply is increasingly cut with other additives, too. The most dangerous is xylazine (“tranq”), an animal sedative that deepens sedation, causes severe wounds, and does not respond to naloxone — so the opioid part of an overdose can reverse while the person stays dangerously sedated.

RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF AN OVERDOSE
The following are signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose:
 Unconsciousness or inability to awaken.
 Slow or shallow breathing or difficulty breathing such as choking
sounds or a gurgling/snoring noise from a person who cannot be
awakened.
 Fingernails or lips turning blue/purple. For lighter skinned people,
the skin tone may turn bluish purple; for darker skinned people, skin
tone may turn pale/grayish or ashen.
 Pinpointed pupils or pupils that don’t react to light.
If an overdose is suspected, try first to wake the person up by calling the person’s name. If this doesn’t work, rub
your knuckles on the person’s upper lip or center of the chest.
IF THE PERSON DOES NOT RESPOND OR
YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT,
CALL 911.
AN OVERDOSE NEEDS IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION. If you suspect an overdose or are
not sure what to do next, call 911. When the call connects, all you have to
say is “someone is unresponsive and not breathing.” Be sure to give a
specific address and/or description of your location. After calling 911, follow
the dispatcher’s instructions.
