City police are warning of a dangerous green drug that’s believed to be a synthetic opioid and circulating in Barrie, Ont.
Over 24 hours, officers have learned of the drug following two overdose deaths that took place in Barrie.
Police say the drug is potent enough to require multiple applications of naloxone.
