Fentanyl's Grip: A Deep Dive into the Crisis with Dan Schneider
“When you talk about that kid who thought they were taking a Xanax pill, that their friend said- and I'm doing air quotes- I have a prescription and it came out of an amber bottle. These people didn't die before the new paradigm.”
Imagine a world where a single synthetic drug is more lethal than heroin and is tearing through communities at an alarming rate. That's the reality explored in this episode of 'Recovering Hope', hosted by Mark Marcley. This time, Mark sits down with Dan Schneider, whose personal battle with drug addiction and his documentary 'The Pharmacist' bring a unique perspective to the conversation about the fentanyl crisis.
