The ‘One Pill Can Kill' campaign is just so important to get the word out”, said Millard. “I've often said people may not use heroine, but they'd take a pill.”
The campaign is being promoted within civic groups, on post at Fort Bliss, at universities, and local schools.
Millard said the DEA has recently started seeing an increase in “rainbow fentanyl” which are fentanyl pastel-colored pills.
The DEA said this is a deliberate attempt to attract children and drive addiction.
