house 12/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to officially recognize illicit fentanyl and its related substances as weapons of mass destruction to strengthen efforts against their trafficking and reduce the devastating impact they have on public health in the United States. This legislation supports classifying fentanyl permanently as a Schedule I substance to help prevent further loss of life from the opioid crisis.

Classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction? Sounds like fear-mongering, not solutions for addiction recovery.

If we treat addiction like a war zone, don’t be surprised when communities pay the highest price.
