Drug dealers are turning social media into a high-stakes digital hustle, using Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat to drop coded messages and emojis that lead to encrypted apps like WhatsApp for deals—and Cash App or Venmo for payments. Fake pills, nearly indistinguishable from real meds but laced with deadly fentanyl, are flooding the scene. The DEA warns: only get prescriptions through doctors and legit pharmacies.
