The Nebraska State Patrol says the 118lbs of suspected cocaine and fentanyl that troopers seized last month turned out to be all fentanyl, which would have been enough to kill more than 26million people. The patrol says the stash was the largest fentanyl seizure in the history of Nebraska to date, and one of the largest ever in the US. The Drug Enforcement Administration says just 2 milligrams of fentanyl, which is 30-50 times more potent than heroin, can be lethal. Troopers did not test the suspected fentanyl on the spot due to the 'dangerous nature of the substance,' and instead sent it to the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Lab. A week earlier, Nebraska troopers seized 1,853lbs of marijuana in Fillmore County.
