It's a synthetic opioid, developed during pharmacutical research designed to examine drugs, and their receptor-binding charactertistics.  In layman's terms, how it 'attaches,' binds or affects a person.

How it began to infiltrate regular drug supplies and distribution chains is not specifically known, but Officials across the country are finding it mixed with 'standard' street drugs such as Fentanyl or meth.  However, even small amounts can render them fatal.

  Concerns Whether Narcan Will Work on The Drug

According to reports, there are not simple standard field tests (yet) to determine if the drug is present with others, and it's believed it's Narcan-resistant.  Narcan is the lifesaving drug that has kept many a fentanyl overdose victim alive.

But Officials are finding in some cities where this new drug is present, they are having to administer two or even three Narcan doses to revive a victim.

The drug is also being found in Kentucky and Ohio.  Officials say it was never approved for use for humans, even in limited controlled doses. Authorities have not said how they think it's working it's way into standard street drugs, but it is slowly spreading across the US.
