Did The DEA Make Up a Faux “Fentanyl Facts” Quiz?

IMAGINATION DISTORTED –

Jan. 29, 2024 – The tournament part of the “One Pill Can Kill Game Over Tournament,” where DEA guest commentators shared fentanyl misinformation soundbites while college students played Rocket League, was livestreamed January 27.For spectators who want to test their fentanyl knowledge, the DEA made an accompanying quiz.

If you feel a bit sick each time the agency responsible for mass overdose death hypes its “fun and informative” questions, you will probably feel a bit sicker each time it promises that lucky winners get an Xbox. The quiz is, regrettably, still online until February 4. Thankfully there are only six questions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated109,680 overdose deaths between December 2021 and December 2022. Not all of them were necessarily overdoses, and many deaths that were caused by overdose have inevitably been left out of the official number.
