The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) last week confiscated more than 1,000 candy-colored fentanyl pills in a Franklin County drug raid. Why it matters: So-called "rainbow fentanyl" is designed to resemble candy to drive addiction in young people, according to Ohio attorney general Dave Yost and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Zoom in: Candy-colored pills have also been found in Cuyahoga County. Local law enforcement submitted pills suspected to be fentanyl for testing on April 15.
