Fentanyl Overdoses and the Opioid Crisis in America

The podcast episode highlights the growing fentanyl crisis and its impact on Americans. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is incredibly potent and responsible for a significant portion of drug-related deaths. Various states have enacted tough laws to combat fentanyl distribution, but punitive measures haven't effectively addressed the root causes of drug abuse. Prisons, often used as a solution, have proven ineffective in addressing addiction, leading to overcrowding and a surge in drug-related issues within correctional facilities.
