Currently there is a surplus of fentanyl pills in America. | |
The surplus, I believe, is driving increased addiction rates because now fentanyl pill prices are going down. | |
Drug usage is going up. | |
Addiction rates are going up. | |
In this episode, I sit down with Michael Brown, a former DEA special agent and current director of counter-narcotics technology for Rigaku analytical devices. | |
The cartels are now mass-producing multi-ton quantities of fentanyl, which is a direct indication that they're receiving more precursor chemicals from China. | |
We dig deep into the fentanyl crisis and illicit drug trade in the U.S. | |
And get an insider's look into the narcotics supply chain from China to Mexico to the southern U.S. | |
border. | |
We've passed the point of no return in terms of reducing addiction and rate to what's coming into the country in terms of narcotics. | |
Until we can reduce the supply chain, we're not going to be able to reduce the addiction rate. |
