USA. DEA Annual Report: Fentanyl Purity Down, Prohibition Not Yet Working
The Drug Enforcement Administration is back with a new National Drug Threat Assessment, the annual report that returned in 2024 after a three-year hiatus. The 2025 NDTA, published May 15, is more bloated than 2024’s, despite the palpable sense that the DEA is running out of things to say.
Probably the most useful piece of information in the 2025 NDTA is confirmation that fentanyl purity has been decreasing—at least in samples seized by the DEA. The average purity of fentanyl powder samples was 11.36 percent, down from 19.2 percent in 2024. (Filter, USA, 27.05.2025)
