Fentanyl-tainted drugs being sold on the street, Boulder County Health warns

Boulder County Health officials are warning about another batch of bad drugs making their way onto the streets of Colorado.

In a news release issued Saturday, the health department said street drugs, laced with fentanyl, are circulating in the community and are leading to an increase in overdoses.

“Last night, we got a call from the mother of a young man who had overdosed, and he had just been with young folks, people who were partying with Xanax,” said Trina Faatz, of the Boulder County Substance Use Advisory Group.

Faatz said it’s an ongoing problem.

“It’s not just Boulder County,” she said. “It’s Denver, Jefferson County, Weld County, it’s everywhere.”
