Inside the Fentanyl Supply Chain: Michael Brown
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
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.
