be charged with a Level 1 drug felony under the bill, which is punishable by between eight and 32 years in prison and between $5,000 and $1,000,000 in fines, or both.
Smaller amounts, such as between 4and 50 grams, would be considered a Level 2 felony, punishable by between four and eight years in prison and between $3,000 and $750,000 in fines, or both.
The bill would consider less than 4 grams of fentanyl to be aLevel 3 drug felony, punishable by between two to four years in prison and between $2,000 and $500,000 in fines, or both.
New tools for police, DAs
District Attorney Brian Mason, representing Adams and Broomfield counties, testified at the Judiciary Committee hearing on the bill.
“I have become an unintended expert on fentanyl because of the degree to which it has ravaged my community,” he said.
He referenced the Commerce City case and noted the victims thought they were taking cocaine and instead snorted pure fentanyl. He said it is the largest, single incident of fentanyl poisoning and deaths in the entire country to date.
He said he supports the bill because it gives him new tools to hold accountable those who distribute the drug.Those most likely to die from fentanyl, he said, are young people looking to experiment with new drugs.
“Because this drug is so lethal, we must use every tool to get it off the streets,” Mason said.
He pushed for strict penalties on possession. He said 4 grams of fentanyl is more than the amount a casual user would carry, referencing a 2019 House bill. That bill, the Offense Level For Controlled Substance Possession, decriminalized possession of up to 4 grams of almost all illicit drugs for personal use.
But allowing that much fentanyl makes little sense, Mason said, because the drug is so deadly.
“I don’t want to lock up users, my team doesn’t want to lock up users, we don’t lock up basic, small-time low-level users, but 4 grams is not a user amount and we must have reasons to get this poison off the streets,” he said.
Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, D-Commerce City, pushed back, saying the proposed bill calls for 4 grams of any drug that contains fentanyl, meaning it could be 3.9 grams of cocaine and contain .1 grams of fentanyl.
“Under current law, it doesn’t mean 4 grams of pure fentanyl, it means 4 grams of whatever the drug is having some fentanyl on it,” she said.
Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, then asked Mason if a case came to him over an eight-ball of cocaine with fentanyl in it, whether he would prosecute the cocaine or fentanyl charges, to which he said the facts of the case would lead him to make a decision.
Referencing the Commerce City case, Mason called for more resources and explained that since the case is so large, support from the DEA, North Metro Task Force, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and others came to his disposal. That’s rare, he said.
The bill has received support from both sides of the aisle, and Northglenn’s Kyle Mullica, Democrat majority cowhip as well as a trauma nurse, sees the bill as adding to efforts aimed at addressing the issue.
He said the bill comes as a needed deterrent, but he emphasizes the demand for more addiction and mental health infrastructure. He calls for more treatment beds, increased funding for recovery programs and more mental health access.
“I don’t think the ideal thing is jail; it’s treatment,” he said.
Some addiction professionals do not agree with the proposed legislation.
Lisa Raville, executive director of the Harm Reduction Action Center in Denver, points to previous policies enacted in the United States.
She believes increased penalties and criminalization for drug users in the past has not produced a decrease in overdoses or drug use.
According to a brief from the Harm Reduction Action Center in March 2022, a study done by the Northeastern University School of Law’s Health in Justice Action Lab found no evidence that prosecuting drug-induced homicides slows the sale of illegal drugs.
“DIH prosecutions discourage witnesses to overdoses from calling 9-1-1 for fear that they will be arrested and charged with DIH or other serious crimes,” the study said.
The brief also explains that incarcerating drug dealers has little or no impact on disrupting drug supplies because the demand for drugs is still present and those dealers will be replaced by new recruits. Or, there will be increased drug selling by existing dealers.
Raville gave an example of laws surrounding prescription drugs.
“When legislators legislated doctors out of prescribing opioids, it’s not like people stopped using drugs. They went to the streets to an unpredictable drug supply, such as heroin,” she said.
Raville also said the drug supply is very unpredictable, and there will be another drug contaminating the supply after fentanyl.
Currently, she said, the only safe supply of drugs is alcohol and cannabis due to regulation. If the government regulated cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and other drugs, drug users would know that their drugs are pure and are not laced with anything, such as fentanyl.
“What we tell our people that are using street drugs is to just assume that fentanyl probably contaminated the drug that you’re using,” said Lauren Mitchell, nurse manager of the Tri-County’s Health Department’s Harm Reduction and HIV Prevention Program.
She said the potency of fentanyl is about 50 times more than heroin.
According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine.
“Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse,” the DEA’s website says.
The DEA said clandestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico, and it is used for intense, shortterm highs with temporary feelings of euphoria, slowed respiration and reduced blood pressure.
“Because they can produce this in a lab, it’s faster, it’s easier and it’s cheaper and so it kind of bled out into the market,” Mitchell said.
