Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson says the illicit drug fentanyl that’s pouring into Texas through the southern border should be labeled as a “weapon of mass destruction.”

He told Fox News, “fentanyl is poison that’s being introduced to our country. The illicit manufacturing of this stuff has just gotten crazy with the potency of it. The deception by the drug dealers to mix it in to the pressed pills trying to sell it as a legal drug that’s a prescription medication.

”It only takes 2 milligrams of this stuff to kill you and we’re finding twice, sometimes three times the amount of fentanyl in a pill that’s not supposed to contain any fentanyl,” he added. …

Henderson called for the drug to be labeled a weapon of mass destruction after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently announced new initiatives being launched to combat the opioid crisis in Montgomery County. It also came after Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody called on the Biden administration to designate fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
