'We need to talk about this': Parents warn of fentanyl danger from fake pills after Rocklin teen's heartbreaking death

Laura and Chris Didier didn’t know, but on a couple of occasions their son had experimented with prescription drugs — the same medications millions of people use for pain management every day.

Zach thought he was buying Percocet, but what he got instead was a counterfeit pill made of fentanyl, a powerful prescription painkiller that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Just a few grains can be lethal.
