VIDEO PRESENTATION
Why Fentanyl Is So Incredibly Dangerous
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is FDA-approved to treat severe pain related to surgery or complex pain conditions. Learn first hand what happens to the body when opioids are used, including opioid receptors in the brain and cases of overdose and withdrawal.
VIDEO PRESENTATION
Addiction
Hear firsthand from individuals struggling with addiction and follow the cutting-edge work of doctors and scientists as they investigate why addiction is not a moral failing, but a chronic, treatable medical condition. Easy access to drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and even prescription medications like OxyContin has fueled an epidemic of addiction — the deadliest in U.S. history.
VIDEO PRESENTATION
Ten Dollar Death Trip
One hundred times stronger than heroin, the deadly opioid fentanyl is cheap, potent and small enough to send in the mail. Market forces have seen it replacing the heroin supply, spreading unprecedented death, destruction and misery. And now, due to its strength and low cost, the drug is also starting to appear in party drugs, such as cocaine and cannabis – with fatal results. Visit the epicenter of the fentanyl epidemic to meet with health care workers, activists, fentanyl dealers and people who use it.
