Fentanyl: The Hidden Crisis and How to Protect Yourself
We're losing the battle because, as we're being distracted by so many other things... we are dealing with such evil out there that if you really compared the two, from covid to the pandemic, to the epidemic of opiate and now fentanyl abuse, you'd find that there's no comparison in loss of life, in danger, in threat.
Picture this: a tiny amount of a substance so potent it can be deadly, yet it's making its way into communities everywhere. That's the reality of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 100 times stronger than morphine. In this episode of 'The Agents of Recovery', Max Hall, Coach Blu Robinson, and Brock Bevell tackle the alarming rise of fentanyl use and its devastating impact on society.
They break down what fentanyl is, how it's used legally for severe pain, and the dangerous ways it's being illegally manufactured and distributed. From counterfeit pills to contaminated street drugs, the risks are real and rising. But it’s not all doom and gloom. The hosts share practical advice on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from this hidden crisis.
They also discuss the broader implications of addiction and trauma, stressing the importance of education, open communication, and community support. This episode isn't just about understanding a drug; it's about recognizing a crisis and learning how to be part of the solution. Tune in for a conversation that's as informative as it is urgent.
