Dr. Kristen Gilliland shares a stark warning in her message from the National Virtual School Assembly: 𝐅𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐥, 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞. Fentanyl is not just another drug; it hijacks the part of the brain that keeps you alive. One pill can be enough to stop your breathing forever. The risks are real, and prevention starts with awareness. View other messages at #DEARedRibbon #RedRibbonWeek2026 #NationalVirtualSchoolAssembly #FentanylFreeAmerica #OnePillCanKill @TheJusticeDept
