Ohio is tightening control on nine synthetic opioids that officials say are becoming more prevalent in overdoses around the state.
Officials said these nitazenes are increasingly being found in the illicit drug supply in Ohio and are even more potent than other Schedule I opioids like heroin or fentanyl. “These are extremely dangerous substances being designed by clandestine chemists in an attempt to skirt the law while keeping them highly addictive,” said Gov. DeWine. “My administration is doing everything in our power to rapidly detect and schedule these types of compounds to ensure that law enforcement has the tools they need to prosecute those who make and sell these potentially lethal substances to the fullest extent of the law.
