“Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid—up to dozens of times stronger than heroin or morphine—making even small quantities far more dangerous and a significant driver of overdose deaths compared to other illicit drugs,” said Chief Superintendent Kevin Lewis, Commanding Officer of the PEI RCMP. “It is commonly sold in 0.1-gram quantities, making this a significant seizure.”
