Americans consume a disproportionate amount of the illegal, and deadly, drugs in the world.  Our guest on this podcast is well equipped to provide a nuanced response to why that is.  The story of the fentanyl crisis is heartbreaking and should disturb each of us. The toll of death and destruction left in its wake is disorienting.  Imagine a drug that is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. That’s fentanyl.  It is the leading cause of the death for those 18 to 45 years old in our country.  Again, it’s fentanyl.  A drug in which just the equivalent of 3 grains of salt can kill you.  You guessed it. Fentanyl. Dr. Robert Marbut, Jr., our guest on today’s podcast is a national expert on fentanyl.  He is also known for his work on homelessness.  For the purposes of this podcast we turn to him as Senior Producer of the compelling new documentary, “Fentanyl: Death Incorporated” that delves into the multifaceted aspects of this dangerous synthetic drug and the ways it is being used on the streets of America.  The documentary introduces you to experts in international and domestic supply chains, law enforcement, medicine, harm reduction and more.  His presentation is riveting, eye opening and shocking.
