I began a fight against this idea of people who are dying from fentanyl by a deception or by a poisoning, or by taking something that they believed to be other than fentanyl, which turned out to be fentanyl, and killed them.
Ever thought about fentanyl as more than just a drug crisis? In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Andrew Weber, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense, to tackle the alarming issue of fentanyl being used as a weapon of mass destruction. Weber, who has spent decades in U.S.
government service, shares his unique perspective on the upstream supply side of illegal fentanyl and the critical need to target major suppliers and cartels instead of just low-level traffickers. With his background in countering nuclear, chemical, and biological threats, Weber offers a sobering look at how fentanyl derivatives could be weaponized and the importance of investing in biodefense and chemical defense.
The conversation doesn't stop there; it also explores international cooperation, emphasizing the need for countries to work together on shared interests. Weber's insights extend to the rapid normalization of marijuana use across states, hinting at broader implications for public health and policy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of drug policy and national security. Tune in to gain a deeper appreciation of the multifaceted battle against one of today's most pressing threats.
