The State of the Drug Crisis
Manage episode 394669797 series 3548909
For residents of American cities, the stench of cannabis smoke on the streets has noticeably escalated in recent years. More concerning is the growing presence of addicts hooked on lab-produced meth and fentanyl in communities across the country, resulting in more than 100,000 overdose deaths in 2021 and again in 2022. One thing is clear: America is in the thick of a drug crisis.
What is the nature of this crisis, and what exactly can we do about it? Charles Fain Lehman, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, joins host Reihan Salam to discuss.
