WHEREAS, the Colville Reservation has suffered greatly
from the harm caused by heroin, cocaine,
methamphetamines, and most recently the introduction and
increase in the prevalence of Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid,
within the Reservation.

Rationale: Timelines

WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
reports that deaths from synthetic opioids have increased
nearly six-fold from 2015-2020 and accounted for nearly
73% of all opioid-involved deaths.
WHEREAS, Fentanyl is considered the "The Next Wave of
the Opioid Crisis." It is 50 times more potent than heroin
and 100 times more potent than morphine. Now illicit
fentanyl has become a potent additive to heroin, cocaine, or
even counterfeit prescription drugs.
