Insufflation. The gateway to heroin is your nose.
Ever wondered how something as seemingly harmless as snorting can lead to a deadly addiction? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Mark Leeds takes you on a journey through the lesser-known risks of insufflation, the act of snorting drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. Dr. Leeds, an experienced osteopathic physician, explains how this method of drug use can be a slippery slope to heroin and fentanyl addiction.
He highlights the troubling trend of chronic pain patients turning to the black market for relief due to stricter medical pain management regulations.

This is where insufflation comes into play, making it easier for users to transition from pills to heroin without realizing the perilous path they're on. Dr.
Leeds stresses the importance of empathy for those caught in the web of addiction, pointing out that no one sets out to become a heroin addict. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and the hidden dangers that can turn a manageable condition into a life-threatening situation.
