Ohio Elks Want Buckeyes To Know That "One Pill Can Kill"

The Ohio Elks Association (OEA) has put up three billboard ads surrounding the Ohio State University campus in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Agency focused on the DEA’s “One Pill Can Kill” program.

The focus is to help remind students and others that criminal organizations are flooding the market with fake pill smade to look like opioids such as oxycodone (Oxycontin®, Percocet®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), and alprazolam (Xanax®); or stimulants like amphetamines (Adderall®).

These fake pills are most commonly laced with deadly doses of Fentanyl and are easy to find, cheap to buy, and sold online to unsuspecting buyers.

The DEA has a special website to help identify real drigs from fake ones: https://www.dea.gov/onepill

The OEA ad will run in Columbus for the next three weeks.
