Fake Xanax, AKA 'Super Pills' is 50 times stronger than heroin and has killed nine in Florida

Partying teenagers and young adults beware: There is a deadly, counterfeit Xanax pill being sold on the streets of Florida. The fake Xanax is believed to contain a lethal dose of Fentanyl - a super, pain-killer some 50 times stronger than heroin - and synthetic Xanax.

The super drug, which hit the streets only three months ago, has already killed nine young people living in Florida. The emergence of the fake Xanax, or as it is known on the streets, 'Super Pills,' has become a party-drug favorite among teens and young adults living in Pinellas County.

As to why the drug has become so popular, police say it is the drug's low price at $5, as well as its powerfully intoxicating effect that is to blame. So far, 'Super-pills' have led to nine overdoses and has spread to more than 22 states.
