As Bonnaroo approaches this year many are already hearing rumors of drugs to watch out for. One of the many drugs that has been talked about in recent days is marijuana laced with Fentanyl.

Bonnaroo takes place in nearby Manchester, TN and starts on Thursday of next week, June 13th and runs through Sunday, June 16th.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the drugs is a synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. Fentanyl is a drug that is most often used to treat patients with severe pain, especially after surgery.

Authorities are concerned that the drug will be sold during Bonnaroo via marijuana laced with Fentanyl. Another fear is that many may illegally buy weed at the concert event not knowing that it is laced in the much stronger drug. If that occurs, there will likely be a spike in overdoses.

The impact of the drug can be treated with Narcan, if first responders act fast enough in knowing the medical emergency when they arrive to treat a patient.
