    The RNC say even drug dealers don’t know what’s in illegal drugs. Police have information that fentanyl is being added to cocaine in this province. Cst James Cadigan says there’s really now way to know what’s in these illicit drugs. “Dealers of illicit drugs can’t confirm how much fentanyl is in the substance,” he says. “The RNC is aware of hospitalization and there  have been more Narcan kits being used here.” If you or someone you know is using illicit drugs, please ensure there is a naloxone kit close by. Please visit Naloxone Kit Distribution Sites - Health and Community Services (gov.nl.ca) to learn where to access a free naloxone kit in your community.
