Ep 39: WARNING: New Drug 20+ Times Deadlier than Fentanyl

The fentanyl epidemic is raging on across the country and things have gotten so bad the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is starting to warn state, local and federal law enforcement agencies to be prepared for a spike in "mass-overdose events" caused largely by fentanyl. 



Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. It is manufactured in China and trafficked into the United States via the southern border. As if the fentanyl epidemic isn't scary enough, there is now a new drug on the market called isotonitazene (ISO) that is said to be 20 to 100 times stronger than fentanyl.
