ATTORNEY GENERAL, FAMILIES SPEAK OUT AGAINST FENTANYL

West Virginia families who’ve had loved ones fall victim to fentanyl are getting a chance to share their stories.  Attorney General Patrick Morrisey gave eight families the opportunity to speak and call for action against the drug during a press conference yesterday.  Morrisey argued “enough is enough” and too many people are dying as a result of what he called a “menace.”  The state saw a ten percent increase in the number of fentanyl and other synthetic opioid deaths in 2021 compared to the year before.  Morrisey has called for the drug to be classified as a weapon of mass destruction.
