Show Notes
Opioid overdose deaths have significantly decreased nationwide, with Ohio experiencing a 34% drop in 2023. This is attributed to a weaker fentanyl supply due to Chinas crackdown on production chemicals. However, users are turning to riskier substitutes like animal tranquilizers, and political fights over opioid settlement cash have slowed interventions in some states. Experts warn that this fentanyl drought may not last, making it crucial to invest in prevention and treatment before the next wave hits.
