Some good news: Virginia has officially classified fentanyl as a “weapon of terrorism.”
According to Fairfax County local news FFX Now: “Fentanyl overdoses have increasingly become a major concern, particularly among young adults.”
To impose harsher penalties on the drug’s manufacturing and distribution, SB 1188 and identical bill HB 1682 reclassify fentanyl as a “weapon of terrorism,” making those acts Class 4 felonies that could carry up to 10 years of jail time.
