We lost high school students in San Diego and under to fentanyl Last Year in a county. People don't want to understand that you can buy the powdered fentanyl from if you can get on the dark web. They come out of the same machines, they have the same m30 markings on them, but they're pink and green, which tells me that they know Americans want fentanyl and they're straight up selling them fentanyl.
Imagine dedicating over three decades of your life to battling drug trafficking. That's exactly what Rocky Herron, a 31-year DEA Special Agent, has done. In this episode of 'Recovery and Company', Herron shares his wealth of knowledge on the fentanyl crisis, which has claimed more lives than guns and car accidents combined in recent years. Herron's experience isn't just limited to the U.S.; he's been involved in drug prevention efforts across 14 countries, delivering over 700 presentations.
He dives into the origins of fentanyl, its devastating impact, and practical steps to protect your family. Herron also sheds light on the role of China in drug trafficking, the importance of early education in schools, and how prevention messaging can make a difference. The conversation doesn't stop there. Herron explores the connection between addiction and epigenetics, the effects of marijuana on mental health, and the alarming rise in overdose deaths among Native American communities.
This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone looking to understand the complexities of the opioid crisis and the critical need for preventive measures.
