I have chronic pain. Going on 20 years now. I reckon I got lucky being allergic to codeine. I work for King County Washington. Even in the "most" liberal city, working directly for the government, everything is set up for well and able-bodied people. I have until Aug 20 to get better or lose my job. Since there's not much hope for that I am terrified for my immediate future. Not just the $2200 a month rent but losing my insurance when I need brain surgery.

Great show! I was curious if you've thought about doing a sports gambling piece? I saw a shocking stat that US sports betting revenue went up 45% last year (up to $11B). Seems like an extension on the "Are Men Okay?" video. Excited to see whatever comes next :)

It doesn't even really make you feel good. You go from sick to not sick to passed out to sick. Awful fucking drug.

I get the feeling your director wasn't expecting that mirror 😅

Fetanyl sounds like it's actually a poison that makes the user feel good before it kills them. Calling it a drug sounds misleading.

Damn, I wish this was a more nuanced look at this issue. Not that it's bad or anything but I really rely on you guys to teach topics to people that don't want me talking at them for 3 hours straight, and while all of this is technical accurate, it really plays up the elements of "drugs are terrifying" and "no street drug is safe" that gets sensationalized in every other news report :( Slightly tangentially, I thing it's crazy that anyone has ever taken fentanyl expecting something else and "not realized it" - it's a terrible drug with little to no euphoria - maybe, MAYBE if you're desperate for dope it might trick you once but lol people cutting coke with it? As silly as the cops fainting looking at the bags The one part that is very sadly spot on in how this is a uniquely American problem, and the video does answer the question the title posits, but I think this is the least I've enjoyed a video you've made - fent is absolutely more dangerous than any drug ever made, no question about it, but it's not hiding on every corner waiting to ruin your fun coke night with pals, and highlighting the few times this has happened seems... idk, the reality of this drug is scary enough, no need to give it even more power right?

… Decriminalization (and safe, registered supply) in order to economically undercut the economic incentives of large organized criminal gangs.

The one solution not mentioned in the video would be a program of _decriminalization_ linked to safe use/counseling centers.

As long as the Chinese don’t start a war with us and burn DC to the ground to protect their drug dealers’ right to sell us drugs, then they will have treated us better than the Brits treated them.
