Synthetic 7-OH (active ingredient in Kratom) is unregulated, addictive, and deadly. A legal loophole needs to be closed. Just because it is OTC, does not mean it is safe.

October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month. This is a time to educate our community about the dangers of fentanyl and the devastating impact it continues to have on families across the nation.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly, even in very small amounts. Illicitly manufactured fentanyl is often mixed into other drugs or pressed into counterfeit pills that may appear legitimate, making it especially dangerous because individuals may not know they are taking it. And if that is not bad enough, more powerful drug analogues are being added to the street supply and resistant to Narcan and do not show up on test strips.

Awareness and education are critical tools in preventing fentanyl-related deaths. Parents, caregivers, educators, and community members are encouraged to have open conversations about the risks associated with fentanyl and the importance of making informed decisions.

The The Jack OKelley Foundation remains committed to protecting our community through education, and prevention efforts. Together, we can help save lives by spreading awareness and ensuring people understand the risks associated with fentanyl.

Go to our website and share our educational tab with your loved ones. It might prevent them from making a terrible and deadly choice.

The IFC at the University of Georgia invited the Jack OKelley Foundation to present on the dangers of fentanyl and other illicit substances that are killing our youth in record numbers. A peer to peer presentation of “Take the Pledge” was presented and all 900 first year Greek Life Members left with a purple wristband. A simple outward symbol of unity. Let’s hold each other accountable and help those in need.
