The cartels have been able to produce fentanyl in large quantities, primarily in powder or pill form. They often mix fentanyl with other substances, such as heroin or counterfeit prescription drugs like oxycodone, to increase its potency and profitability.The production process itself is hazardous and involves the handling of toxic chemicals, making it a risky endeavor.
