Feds would boost efforts to find dangerous nitazene drugs.
A new bill would require federal agencies to improve how they find and stop dangerous nitazene drugs. This means the Department of Homeland Security and the DEA would work together. Their goal is to detect these substances, even in tiny amounts, and reduce their availability to the public.
Currently, federal agencies are required to develop ways to detect illicit substances like fentanyl and xylazine. This bill would add nitazenes to that list. It would require the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Agency to specifically focus on finding and stopping these dangerous drugs, even in very small amounts.
