“Do not take any pill that you didn't receive from a doctor or pharmacist.”
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach's fentanyl awareness campaign (US-KS): in June 2023 a PSA sent to Kansas TV stations telling Kansans not to take any pill not received from a doctor or pharmacist; in 2025 the Kansas Fights Addiction Grant Review Board, which distributes opioid settlement money, approved the AG's request for a new public awareness campaign on counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl.

Research notes
US-KS. Discovered 2026-10-22 for #17. The 2023 PSA was given free to TV stations (donated airtime), not a paid buy, per the release. 2025 wave: a search snippet of the Kansas Fights Addiction board update says the board 'approved ... a funding request from the Attorney General to begin a new public awareness campaign aimed to educate about the dangers of counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl'; an unofficial meeting summary put the request at about $177,000 with $150,000 for advertising. The board document could not be fetched (blocked), so the settlement-funded sponsor entry was not added and no 2025-26 ads were found. ag.ks.gov returned 403. Check the numbers: 'More than 1,200 Kansans have already died from suspected fentanyl poisoning' (AG, 2023). Ad library search: "Kansas Attorney General", "Kris Kobach" fentanyl.
