Fentanyl Fall-Drug Policy and More! An RMA News Special

RMA Episode 120: Fentanyl Fall-Drug Policy and More! An RMA News Special

Last week, a tragic incident occurred at a daycare center in New York, where a child died due to a suspected fentanyl overdose after being exposed to the drug concealed within the facility. Meanwhile, across the country in Oregon, the state grapples with the repercussions of passing Proposition 110. This legislation effectively decriminalized drugs, including fentanyl, resulting in an unforeseen surge in usage and overdoses. This raises a pivotal question: Should New York consider following Oregon's footsteps in decriminalizing drugs for personal use, or is it time for a more heavy-handed approach? Alternatively, could there be an unexplored middle ground warranting discussion? Tune in to find out!

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step, (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
