Why a Weapon of Mass Destruction?
Designating illicit fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) will empower the U.S. to cut off the supply of this poison before it reaches our borders. This designation, under the Title 15 definition of a WMD, will not impact the domestic supply of prescription fentanyl, nor will it authorize the U.S. to target domestic actors.
