Let's hope it's a little bit of an aberration. I hope this don't come across the wrong way, okay, but you know The Old Days of normal heroin.
Imagine losing your son to drug-related violence and then discovering a hidden crisis unfolding in your own community. This is the reality for Dan Schneider, the small-town pharmacist featured in this gripping episode of 'Fatal Facts of Fentanyl'. After his son Danny's tragic death in 1999, Dan embarks on a relentless quest for justice, determined to find his son's killer. But his journey doesn't stop there.
As he digs deeper, Dan uncovers a troubling pattern: young, healthy individuals are flooding his pharmacy with high-dose prescriptions for OxyContin, signaling the early stages of what would become the opioid epidemic. Dan's mission evolves from personal vengeance to a broader crusade against the opioid crisis. He becomes a beacon of hope and a voice for change, tirelessly working to save other families from the heartache he endured.
This episode dives into the dangers of fentanyl, the stigma surrounding drug use, and the urgent need for awareness and education. It also highlights the systemic issues and lack of political support that hinder the fight against opioid addiction. Listeners will be moved by Dan's unwavering dedication and inspired to join his cause. His story is a powerful reminder that change begins with individuals who refuse to stay silent.
Tune in to hear how one father's love for his son sparked a movement that continues to challenge Big Pharma and advocate for those affected by this devastating crisis.
