Forget What You Know About Fentanyl

July 13, 2022

SOURCE: In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt

With fentanyl deaths at a record high, Andy speaks with two experts about rethinking opioids, overdoses, and addiction. Ed Ternan, a father whose son died from fentanyl poisoning after buying a fake Percocet on Snapchat, explains how fake pills and social media are driving an increase in deaths among teenagers and young adults, while RAND researcher Bryce Pardo provides data and solutions. Keep up with Andy on Twitter @ASlavitt. Follow Ed Ternan and Bryce Pardo on Twitter @Ed_Ternan and @brycepardo.
