Death by Stealthy Foreign Invaders

Busting Addiction and Its Myths

In this podcast, we discuss the development of synthetic illicit drugs of abuse and how they are revolutionising the industry, making these drugs harder to detect, more powerful and easier to distribute.

We learn that:

1. Drug cartels and China-based suppliers are transforming the entire illicit drug industry from plant-based to synthetic.
2. Synthetic psycho-active drugs are exponentially more potent, more profitable and much easier to distribute.
3. It seems the harder we try to disrupt conventional plant-based psycho-active drugs, the more we stimulate the development of synthetic substitutes.
4. Our children can order Fentanyl or synthetic Marijuana on the dark web without having to go to the “hood” to get it. It will come in the mail to a PO Box and they’re off and running.
5. Federal and local authorities are finally raising the alarm about Fentanyl, and rightly so. EMTs in most states now carry the powerful antidote Narcan which quickly neutralises the effects of heroin and heroin-like substances.
