TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Leon County Sheriff's Office is warning people about dangerous drugs in our area after deputies find someone using Fentanyl in the bathroom of a local store.

The sheriff's office posted a picture of the find on Facebook Saturday. They say the user had eight grams of the drug along with marijuana, Oxycodone and several other controlled substances.

Fentanyl can be prescribed to treat pain, but if used illegally, can be fatal. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's 50 times more potent than heroin.
