Honolulu overdoses prompt state warning over fentanyl-laced cocaine
Hawaii health officials are warning that cocaine laced with fentanyl is circulating in Honolulu, a serious danger for anyone using street drugs.
- A batch of cocaine mixed with fentanyl is being sold in Honolulu right now.
- The tainted supply is tied to several suspected overdoses.
- Officials say to assume every street drug contains fentanyl.
- Free naloxone, the overdose-reversal drug, is being handed out at sites across the state.
- Anyone who suspects an overdose should call 911 immediately.
Outlook: More overdose cases are likely until the contaminated supply clears, and the state is pushing naloxone access to limit deaths.
