Fighting Fentanyl ft. Bryce Pardo

A Patreon-exclusive episode, now unlocked!  Why are so many Americans dying in the opioid crisis?  RAND Corporation researcher Bryce Pardo joins the podcast to discuss the history of the opioid crisis and fentanyl.  We discuss why fentanyl is so much more dangerous than previous opioids, how the transition from other drugs to fentanyl took place, and what sort of policy can be implemented to slow or stop the crisis.   If you're interested in Bryce's work, check out his report The Future of Fentanyl, available to download for free on RAND's site - https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3117.html
