COLUMBUS, Ohio)-- It's a drug so powerful it's utilized by veterinarians to tranquilize elephants that weigh over six heaps.
A warning about authorities seeing an uptick in the drug being illegally utilized around the state was provided Friday by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. "Carfentanil is a deadly synthetic opioid that has reemerged in numerous Ohio drug cases," Yost said. "It's a boost that could foreshadow a rise in overdoses.".
Law enforcement said tranquilizers like Carfentanil, which is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl and 10,000 times more effective than morphine, is being utilized by some drug users in Ohio.
Yost stated the drug is appearing in Northeast Ohio's Trumbull County and in the
Columbus area resulting in overdoses which concerns Yost it could lead to more lethal cases.

"Officers and first responders should wear correct individual protective devices and use care in handling evidence believed of containing carfentanil or any fentanyl-related substance, particularly in combination with an overdose," Yost said.
