Colorado authorities have reportedly seized more fentanyl this year than in all previous years combined, a trend reflected in other illicit narcotics.
The trend in Colorado mirrors what’s happening nationwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , there were more than 107,000 deaths in 2021 – a 15% increase from the year prior.
Record seizures are up for other drugs as well in Colorado, including cocaine, heroine, and methamphetamine. CSP has intercepted around 4,075 pounds of illicit drugs this year – more than the 3,836 pounds seized in 2021, KDVR reports. Cannabis, at nearly 3,000 pounds, was the most-seized drug, followed by methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and heroin.
