If you've ever been to Mexico, then you've probably seen it: Pharmacies storefronts selling pills that are normally prescription-only in the United States.

And an investigation published today by the LA Times is revealing that some of those pharmacies in Northwest Mexico, including in Tijuana and Cabo San Lucas, are selling counterfeits -- with reporters testing the pills to find oxycodone laced with Fentanyl and Adderall with Methamphetamine.

For more, we're joined on the KCBS Ring Central Newsline by Connor SHeets, LA Times enterprise reporter who led the investigation along with crime reporter Keri Blakinger.
