So far in 2022, authorities in Los Angeles have seized 38 million doses of fentanyl, enough to kill almost half of California’s population.

That number also accounts for 10 percent of the total illegal fentanyl confiscated nationwide, which is 379 million doses according to a recent press release published by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
