The more we try to prevent the distribution, that is, sale of natural products like cocaine and marijuana and opium, etc. The more this will stimulate the creation of more potent synthetic substitutes.
Ever wondered why Fentanyl has become such a deadly force on our streets? In this eye-opening episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', host Bruno Jr. is joined by Gary Henderson to unravel the complexities of designer drugs, focusing on the notorious Fentanyl. They discuss how this synthetic drug has eclipsed traditional plant-based substances, posing a significant threat to public health.
You’ll hear about the alarming statistics: Fentanyl was responsible for nearly 100,000 overdose deaths in the US in 2021 alone. The conversation doesn't just stop at numbers; it dives into the urgent need for better medical education on substance use disorders. Did you know that over half of US medical schools need substantial improvements in this area? This episode sheds light on the gaps in our healthcare system and what can be done to bridge them.
The hosts also explore practical ways families can help combat this crisis. From supporting the MATE Act of 2021, which aims to enhance medical professionals' awareness and treatment of substance use disorders, to advocating for publicly funded treatment programs and life-saving interventions like Narcan for police officers and EMTs, there are actionable steps we can all take. Bruno Jr. and Gary Henderson emphasize that reducing the demand for mind-altering substances is crucial in this fight.
This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action for anyone concerned about the impact of designer drugs on our society. If you're looking to understand more about this pressing issue and how you can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
