This weekend’s bust comes just days after the same Arizona port saw thousands of rainbow, candy-colored fentanyl pills being attempted to be smuggled into the country. Border agents found about 15,000 of the pills, strapped to a person’s leg.
CNN reported that officials in many states are seeing more of this kind of fentanyl. It worries health experts and law enforcement that the trend could be a way of targeting teens and kids into drug use.
