Final Thought

what surprised me most about my research is that Fentanyl is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and up to 100 times stronger than morphine. Because Fentanyl is strong and cheap to produce, people who are manufacturing these illegal drugs use fentanyl to make their drugs more powerful and less expensive to manufacture.
