Hear from Rebecca Cobain who will be teaching Public Speaking online.

The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD), Sierra College (Tahoe-Truckee), and local agencies have received important information regarding various counterfeit (fake) prescription medications (pills) being sold locally on the streets that actually contain fentanyl. Fentanyl is an extremely powerful opioid analgesic that is very dangerous and can be lethal in small doses. Some of the pills can be various colors and sizes. Some have been known to have the letter M st...amped on one side and the number 30 on the other side. The counterfeit pills can also be called various names including beans, biscuits, treats, blues M-30’s or thirties. NOTE: Prescription drugs should always come from a credible physician and pharmaceutical source. As a reminder, taking non-prescribed medications and/or other street drugs can cause SERIOUS harm, which can lead to health complications, addiction, and even death. If you need help/support regarding drug dependence and addiction, please connect with a provider or program through the Truckee, North Tahoe Mental Health Providers directory: https://www.tfhd.com/services/mental-health-providers.
