In this gripping episode of Fatal Facts of Fentanyl, retired DEA Special Agent Derek Maltz dives into the harsh realities of the fentanyl crisis plaguing the United States. With 28 years of service under his belt, Maltz brings a no-nonsense approach to the discussion, shedding light on the alarming statistics and the international connections fuelling this epidemic. He explains how Mexican cartels, in collaboration with Chinese transnational criminals, are flooding the US with fentanyl, leading to unprecedented overdose deaths.
Maltz highlights the inefficiencies in data collection and the lack of accurate statistics, emphasising that the real numbers are likely much higher than reported. He passionately argues that this crisis should be treated as a top national security threat, likening the cartels' actions to terrorism. Maltz also touches on the widespread availability of counterfeit pills on social media platforms like Snapchat, which are easily accessible to young people.
The conversation underscores the urgent need for better education and awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. With a call to action for more aggressive measures to combat this crisis, this episode is a wake-up call for America to address the fentanyl epidemic head-on.
