There where multiple ongoing anti-drug campaign when i was a teen.

Many of them framed facts into scare campaigns.

Yeah, "facts". When I was in high school they had cops visit and tell us how another cop "just touched a guy that took fentanyl" and had to have an emergency dose of Narcan (opiate reverser) because he was "poisoned". No being needle stuck, bit, etc, just the "residue" on the clothing/skin of the person that took it. No wonder people don't trust cops.

Per [Is fentanyl dangerous to touch? Experts say no – here's why] -(https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fentanyl-contact-overdose-risks-what-to-know/)

Can you overdose by touching fentanyl? 

Experts told CBS News that touching fentanyl powder will not cause an overdose. In powder form, the way it's almost always found in the illicit drug supply, the drug cannot absorb through the skin, said Ryan Marino, a medical toxicologist, emergency physician and addiction medicine specialist at the Cleveland Medical Center. Just being near the substance also won't cause an overdose.

"Fentanyl as a dry powder is not going to cross through your skin. It's the same reason you can touch sugar without your blood sugar going up," said Marino. "Solids don't cross through your skin."
