Well, it really is a numbers game. TLDR; Colorado is at "31" at "1%".
The way the data is presented is misleading though. This is the "INCREASE" in fentanyl deaths, not the total per year / per capita /etc.
They are just saying "Sure, a fuck load of people are ODing", "Just not a lot MORE than we already had over the last year".

From the post:
"Over half of the U.S. is seeing an increase in fentanyl deaths in 2023, and Colorado is among those states.
Families Against Fentanyl analyzed the newest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which revealed that overdose deaths are at an all-time high. The most recent data was collected from April 2022 to April 2023."
"While 1% doesn’t seem like a lot, Colorado ranked 24th for the most fentanyl deaths this year with 1,057 fatalities."
"This comes after FAF’s finding in 2021 that fentanyl was the number one cause of death among Americans ages 18 to 45. This trend has continued into 2023."
