We are living in a chemical world and I'm a chemical nondescript person. We are living in a chemical world and I am a chemical girl.
In this episode of Chemical World, hosts Kenna Crampton and Maggie Seldeen break down the alarming overdose death statistics from 2020. They explain how the pandemic exacerbated the crisis through increased isolation, anxiety, depression, and boredom. Kenna and Maggie stress the need for better medical literacy about opiates to prevent future tragedies. They dive into the distinctions between benzodiazepines and SSRIs, both of which can lower brain activity and lead to overdose.

Additionally, they discuss the benefits of Suboxone in treating opioid addiction and warn about the dangers of caffeine overdose from energy drinks. The hosts share specific overdose death numbers from their tri-county area and encourage listeners to get involved in harm reduction efforts.
