In the wake of new opioid overdoses, local law enforcement agencies are changing some protocols in how they interact with evidence. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified the counterfeit pills connected to a handful of overdoses in central Georgia earlier this month. The lab determined the pills were a mixture of cyclopropyl fentanyl and U-47700, two opioid substances stronger than morphine. ‘It is unknown how the human body will react to this drug since it is not intended for human or veterinary use,” the GBI wrote in a news release.
