The emergence of “Blues” drugs represents one of the most dangerous developments in the ongoing opioid crisis. These counterfeit pills, designed to mimic prescription opioids, have become increasingly prevalent and lethal due to their high fentanyl content.
Blues drugs, also known as M30 pills, are counterfeit opioid pills that typically contain fentanyl. These small, blue tablets are manufactured to resemble legitimate prescription oxycodone pills, marked with an “M” on one side and “30” on the other. Drug dealers often market these pills as authentic prescription medications, but DEA testing reveals that approximately 40% contain potentially lethal doses of fentanyl.
The severity of the Blues drug crisis cannot be overstated. Fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills have become a primary driver of overdose deaths in the United States, with synthetic opioids responsible for approximately 64% of drug-related fatalities. The DEA reports that just two milligrams of fentanyl – equivalent to the size of a mosquito – can be fatal.
