Opioid Epidemic Unveiled: An Unsettling Dive into Purdue Pharma, Fentanyl, and Grassroots of Marijuana Industry

Code 0.5

Ready for a harsh truth? We are losing the battle against the opioid epidemic. From first responders on the frontlines to our communities ravaged by this crisis, we are all deeply affected. In our latest episode, we lift the veil on the dishonesty of Purdue Pharma - the company that shamelessly pushed opioids into the market, and the resultant lawsuit that came like a storm. We also get down to the nitty-gritty of the silent invader, Fentanyl, and its devastating impacts. It's high time we amplify awareness and education about this crisis, and this episode gives you just the insight to do so.
Shifting gears, we delve into the booming marijuana industry and the eerie silence from the federal government. Did you know there are over 8,000 marijuana grows in our state? The implications are staggering - from a surprising uptick in human trafficking in rural counties to potentially illegal interstate shipment of marijuana. This enlightening discussion raises questions we should all be asking and highlights the dark underbelly of a seemingly thriving industry.
Finally, we tackle the tough terrain of addiction treatment, justice reform, and law enforcement response. The city of Philadelphia serves as our case study as we debate the merits and pitfalls of various addiction treatments. We also pull no punches in discussing the often-overlooked issue of jurisdiction, and the critical need for tracking police officers' health, introducing you to innovative technology like Rennix's cough counter. Join us for this raw, honest, and thought-provoking conversation. Together, we can navigate the complexities of these issues and work towards a safer, healthier society.
