NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency said campaigns sounding the alarm about the dangers of fentanyl are working in New Mexico but there is still lots of work to be done. "We credit a lot to all the organizations that are raising awareness, we really shared with them our vision to reduce the demand, the 'One Pill Can Kill,' 'Keep New Mexico Alive,' said Carlos Briano, DEA, El Paso Division. The El Paso Division covers the state of New Mexico.

Briano said prevention efforts are a big part of that. But also key, he said, is his agency's push to make it harder for drug cartels to manufacture dangerous drugs like fentanyl. "So for them, their primary driver is profit. They just want people to buy, buy, buy, buy, and unfortunately if some people die in the process, that's just the cost of doing business....We're working with governments that make the precursor chemicals to really lock down using those chemicals only for legitimate purposes, not for making illicit fentanyl," said Briano. Briano said a year ago, 70% of fentanyl pills they tested from drug seizures contained a potentially lethal dose of the drug. Now, that number is down to 50%.
