PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Please be very careful of where you purchase your medications. Fentanyl laced pills have been a problem for many years, causing 1000's of deaths nationwide. However, there is a new synthetic drug hitting the streets called Cychlophorine. This synthetic drug is 10x more potent than Fentanyl, but Fentanyl testing devices do not detect it.

Please be careful out there and only purchase medications from licensed pharmacies.
