Scott Silverman, author of The Opioid Epidemic, joined me on the podcast to discuss the growing concerns of the fentanyl epidemic. Currently, 80% of illicit drugs coming into Arizona and California is laced with fentanyl.
Scott and I open up about what families can do to make sure young people are aware of the dangers of fentanyl. Fentanyl has found its way into every street drug out there. The traffickers are doing everything they can to get it safely into the U.S.
Currently, Social Media is the greatest tools used by traffickers to get fentanyl into the hands of our youth. Apps are used to identify, sell, deliver and promote deadly fentanyl.
Traffickers spend time and money making sure they are branding fentanyl to target the youth. With so much attention being placed on the traffickers and slowing the flow of fentanyl into our country, when do we begin to focus on the mental health of our youth?
