Those cutting your drugs with fentanyl want you dead and we need to find ideas to curb this epidemic.
Eric McCoy isn't pulling any punches in this episode of 'High While Clean'. He tackles the grim reality of fentanyl and its even more potent cousin, carfentanil. These synthetic opioids are wreaking havoc, being up to 10,000 times stronger than morphine. McCoy dives deep into why these substances are so deadly and what can be done to fight back.
He introduces rapid response testing as a tool to detect fentanyl in drugs, shedding light on a practical way to curb this growing crisis. But it's not just about the drugs themselves; McCoy explores the broader issue of substance abuse and the changing tactics needed in the treatment industry. He emphasizes the importance of awareness and prevention, urging listeners to understand the risks and take action.
The episode also touches on the federal analog act, which bans the production of chemical analogs with similar effects to schedule one or two substances. McCoy's straightforward approach and deep knowledge make this episode both informative and urgent, offering a crucial wake-up call for anyone touched by the opioid epidemic.
