Fentanyl is in a class of drugs that represent a sea change in illegal drugs. Synthetics also play a big role in the marketing of fake pharmaceuticals, such as fake codeine, Oxycontin, oxycodone, valium, Xanax and others.
Ever heard of a drug so potent that it can be deadly even in minuscule amounts? That's fentanyl for you. In this gripping episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', the host takes us on a deep dive into the world of synthetic drugs, with fentanyl leading the charge. Fentanyl isn't just another drug; it's a game-changer, infiltrating everything from heroin to marijuana, making them far more dangerous.
This episode breaks down how fentanyl, a synthetic opiate up to a hundred times stronger than heroin, has become a pervasive menace in the drug scene. It's cheap, incredibly potent, and easily distributed, making it a favorite among drug dealers looking to maximize their profits. But the dangers don't stop there. Fentanyl is also used to boost the effects of other drugs like cocaine and even marijuana, creating a cocktail of substances that can be fatal.
The episode also sheds light on the rise of synthetic drugs from China, known as New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), which are slowly replacing traditional drugs. These synthetics are not only more potent but also cheaper and easier to distribute. The host shares personal anecdotes and expert insights to highlight the urgent need for awareness and action. From fake pharmaceuticals to laced street drugs, the dangers are real and immediate.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a sobering look at the current landscape of drug abuse and the synthetic threats lurking in the shadows.
