A significant number of reports of non-fatal overdoses have been observed in the Montreal area in recent days, linked to suspected fentanyl use.
The sharp rise in overdoses coincides with the detection of carfentanil in several samples suspected to be fentanyl in the form of “rocks” of various colors.
