Ben Westhoff: Unmasking the Fentanyl Epidemic

Behind each great fortune lies a great crime, as they say, when you think about glyphosate roundup being sold by Monsanto and that's wreaking havoc in other countries.
Imagine diving deep into the murky world of fentanyl, the deadliest drug of our time. In this gripping episode of 'The Social Exchange', investigative journalist Ben Westhoff does just that. With his book 'Fentanyl, Inc.' as the backdrop, Westhoff reveals the chilling realities behind this potent opioid's surge. His journey takes him to China, where he daringly poses as a drug dealer to uncover the inner workings of rogue chemists fueling the crisis.
But it's not just about the drug's origins; Westhoff also sheds light on harm reduction strategies and the urgent need for drug-checking kits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of the opioid epidemic and explore potential solutions. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply curious about this pressing issue, Westhoff's insights offer a compelling and eye-opening perspective.
