Part 5/11:
The toll of fentanyl poisoning is devastatingly clear. It has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 49. The epidemic extends beyond the typical illicit drug user; many young, non-addicted individuals are dying after unknowingly ingesting fentanyl, often through pills purchased on social media platforms like Snapchat or Instagram. Rogan recounts tragic stories, including that of a young girl who consumed a quarter of a pill laced with fentanyl while trying to get some sleep before final exams. She was found dead in her bedroom — an illustrative nightmare illustrating how easy it is to fall victim to these poisons.
