Podcasts about Carfentanil

In this urgent and hard-hitting episode, we divedeep into the growing threat posed by Chinese criminal networks and powerful drug cartels. These networks are producing and distributing massive quantities of synthetic drugs—most notably fentanyl and the even deadlier Carfentanil—and flooding communities across the United States. These transnational criminal organizations are taking full advantage, pushing the country into a deepercrisis. Rose's guest, former acting DEA Administrator Derek Maltz, shares his expert insight into the escalating battle against Fentanyl trafficking. He exposes how cartels are operating with the sophistication of terrorist organizations and why they must be treated as such. Maltz highlights Mexico's continued reluctance to confront cartel violence and argues for a more aggressive U.S. response. He also reveals thegrowing involvement of China—not just in chemical supply chains, but in the geopolitical blame game tied to trade and tariffs. Education is key. Maltz stresses the urgent need fornationwide drug education in schools and across social media. If we are to protect the next generation, we must meet them where they are, inform them of the dangers, and equip parents with the knowledge to recognize the warningsigns. This raw conversation lays bare a crisis that's already stealing lives—and calls for immediate action before the devastation worsens. This episode of Rose Unplugged is a wake-up call for all Americans.This Interview was conducted for the Sean Hannity RadioShow when Rose guest hosted.Please Support this Podcast:www.mypillow.com  Promo Code: ROSEwww.mypatriot.com/rosewww.americansforprosperity.orgRose's Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com Subscribe for free inspirational newsletters

Are you familiar with Bromazolam? Carfentanil? Isotonitazene? Flualprazolam? What do all these substances have in common? They are showing up in the illicit drug market, and we'll likely be seeing more of them in the future. Dr. Grover gives an update on what's coming next in the illicit drug supply

Carfentanil is an opioid that's more lethal than fentanyl and has now made its way to Erie County.

Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein on the death of a person who overdosed on carfentanil

Reading an actual experience from the crazy and very lethal drug that's 100x more potent than Fentanyl, Carfentanil.

Hey, welcome back to the PFC podcast! This is Dennis, and I'm here with Aaron, an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist. We discuss carfentanil, a synthetic opioid used in the 2002 Moscow hostage rescue. Carfentanil can cause CNS depression, pinpoint pupils, respiratory depression, and decreased gut motility. Reversing its effects may require higher doses of naloxone. However, its potency and unknown modifications make it challenging to combat. We're still waiting for better treatments and auto-injectors. In the field, it's crucial to differentiate opioid overdoses from other injuries, considering opioids' widespread use and potential for weaponization.

CONTENT WARNING This episode contains discussions of sexual assault.Bloomington-Normal is a metro area of about 130,000 people in north-central Illinois. Located just two hours southwest of Chicago, Blo-No, as it is affectionally called, is one of those cities in America that's known for being, well, normal. It's flat, there's not much to see, and it's surrounded by cornfields. One local real estate agent describes Bloomington-Normal as the town that “has everything you need and nothing that you don't.” It's a town where people feel safe. So, it was quite disconcerting when on the 4th of April in 2003, a twenty-five-year-old woman, who was sound asleep in her home in Bloomington-Normal, was suddenly and terrifyingly woken in the middle of the night by an intruder. This was the second rape in four months, and police noticed that the details of that case were terrifyingly similar. It was unusual for the town to have even one occurrence of stranger rape at all, let alone two. Something was horribly wrong. The police had the sickening suspicion that the town had its very first-ever serial rapist.Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "The Secret Life Of Jeffrey Pelo"Thank you to EJ Hammond for requesting this episode.You can find her book, Ted Bundy: Memories of the Beast hereResearch and writing by Lauretta Allen Listener Discretion by OctoberpodVHSProducer Music & Editing by Nico at We Talk of DreamsSources:https://caselaw.findlaw.com/il-court-of-appeals/1541002.htmlhttps://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/illinois-police-sergeant-jeffrey-pelo-doubled-serial-rapist/story?id=11497530https://www.wglt.org/show/wglts-sound-ideas/2018-01-10/bloomington-mom-shares-heroin-heartache-to-help-othershttps://www.newspapers.com/image/75556460/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/75850779/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/75540537/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.amazon.com/From-Protector-to-Predator/dp/B091JG4FGL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23LHV8WP0NAGV&keywords=who+the+bleep+did+I+marry+Pelo&qid=1680189416&s=instant-video&sprefix=who+the+bleep+did+i+marry+pelo%2Cinstant-video%2C87&sr=1-1http://395cjs.blogspot.com/2012/04/ex-bloomington-police-officer-found-to.htmlhttps://groups.google.com/g/alt.true-crime/c/es2_ys0U7P8?pli=1https://www.hss.gov.nt.ca/en/newsroom/carfentanil-detected-hay-river#:~:text=Carfentanil%20is%20one%20of%20the,than%20one%20dose%20of%20naloxone.https://www.newspapers.com/image/75540537/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/75540532/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/75582918/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/340868552/?terms=Jeffrey%20Pelo%20rape&match=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YzFn8A4tZkhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/75862982/?terms=Jonelle%20Galuska%20Pelo&match=1https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2008/08/13/ex-police-sergeant-sentenced-to/47620015007/https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2010/10/07/appeals-court-upholds-ex-officer/42935830007/https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2008/08/15/victim-in-pelo-case-challenges/46968768007/

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another awesome episode.Were talking about Fentanyl today, is it good? Is it bad? Honestly it really just depends on your perception and knowledge on the subject. Fentanyl has been a progressively more taboo subject for the past 2 decades but has amazing benefits as well as the ability to destroy very readily if not handled properly. With the world falling into chaos and overdoses at an all-time high, it is more important than ever for you as the provider or in the public to understand what Fentanyl is and become an educator for those that do not know. You guys are all amazing and I hope you enjoy the show!Informational links:https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2020-06/Fentanyl-2020_0.pdfhttps://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/oprm1/https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6617/smpc#grefIf you have any questions, comments, concerns, or a topic that you would like to be covered; feel free to reach out!

This podcast episode will delve into the topic of the four most dangerous opioids: fentanyl, hydrocodone, carfentanil, and tramadol. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. It is often added to other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, making it even more dangerous. Overdose deaths related to fentanyl have been on the rise in recent years. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is commonly prescribed for pain management. It is also highly addictive and can lead to overdose when taken in large quantities or combination with other substances. Carfentanil is a highly potent synthetic opioid that is used as a tranquilizer for large animals. It is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and should not be used by humans. Carfentanil has been responsible for a significant number of opioid overdoses in recent years. Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that is commonly prescribed for pain management. Although it is considered to be less potent than other opioids, it can still lead to addiction and overdose when misused. Join us as we discuss the dangers of these opioids, their effects on the body, and the consequences of misuse. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darkcancerproductions/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darkcancerproductions/support

As autoridades da Argentina identificaram a substância utilizada para adulterar a cocaína que matou 24 pessoas e intoxicou outras 80 na cidade de Tres de Febrero, situada no noroeste da Grande Buenos Aires. É o carfentanil, opióide que seria em torno de 10 mil vezes mais forte do que o fentanil e a heroína.Segundo notícia a agência Télam, a análise técnica destaca que o carfentanil é de uso totalmente controlado e exclusivamente veterinário, especialmente em animais de grande porte, como é o caso de elefantes e rinocerontes. Em humanos, a substância tem potencial para gerar forte depressão respiratória, alucinações e até a morte.

Law Enforcement has uncovered a hoard of elephant tranquilizers 100 times more powerful than fentanyl in California. “If mixed in with other drugs, the 21 kilos of Carfentanil seized could have been enough to potentially kill more than 50 million people,” the press release said. Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid that is typically used as a tranquilizing agent for elephants and other large mammals, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. When administered to humans, the drug is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl, according to the DEA. The agency also said two milligrams of fentanyl is enough to kill someone. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dhts/message

Following up on our most recent episode, Killer Drugs during which we spoke with a South Carolina man who has seen three family members die from overdoses of drugs apparently spiked with carfentanil, today we're with Dr. Bill O'Connor, who treats such patients.Dr. O'Connor is a family physician and works at the Little River Medical Center in South Carolina, a community health facility, that serves everyone – including the homeless, migrant farm workers, and others with little or no financial resources.He tells me that currently there are 140 people currently on Medication Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder in his medical center. We're going to learn more about that problem and how it's affecting peoples' lives. And, we'll also learn about community health facilities and their need for financial support.“Opioid use disorder is pretty evil,” Dr. O'Connor says. “It gets to the point where it isn't a personal choice. You are driven.”Welcome, Dr. O'Connor, to Lean to the Left.

Buster Hatcher is a 73-year-old man who lives in South Carolina. Within the last three months, three members of his family have died from drug overdoses that Hatcher blames on Carfentanil, a powerful derivative of fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic analgesic produced from morphine. It's 10,000- times more potent than morphine and it's not approved for use in humans in any capacity. It's typically used in veterinary medicine to sedate large animals – like elephants.For the past few years carfentanil has been used to cut heroin, and in some cases it's killing its unsuspecting victims almost instantly.Listen to a human side to this story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

The Russian and Chinese governments have been profoundly involved in the global opioid trade, as has the United States government. Chinese and Russian actors have been known to mass-produce carfentanil, a highly potent synthetic opioid, not only as a drug and cutting agent, but as a chemical weapon. Carfentanil and other fentanyl derivatives are the most common agents in what have been termed "deaths of despair" in the poorer, neglected regions of the United States and Russia. The drug trade has always been wrapped up in political intrigue, and the role of the United States, specifically the CIA, is no exception. As Peter Dale Scott has written about, the so-called War on Drugs has mostly been an excuse for intelligence agencies and cartels, often in alliance, to enrich themselves at the expense of other people. Iran-Contra was only one small piece of the gigantic puzzle, and even then, it goes deeper than assumed. For instance, the CIA in the '50s and '60s was deeply tied with the business of psychedelics manufacturing and distribution, in part because the recreational use of such enabled them to gather a large recruitment base for experiments involving combining drugs, electronics, and various forms of torture and abuse in order to determine if the individual mind, and society at large, could be controlled. Maybe it was these experiments that fed into worldwide delusions about electronic harassment, or what is often called 電波 in Japanese... This is the first single for the upcoming second Rose with Teeth album. LYRICS: Александра Элбакян, моя любовь – милость твоя. Знание заставляет меня потерять себя в странных занятиях, что отвлекают меня от боли, и волн, что они вещают. I don't know what I am trying to do with my time, with my life. I am waiting for you to tell me what my move is, but I don't even know who you are. Tell me when it is my time to go and I'll go without a fight, but the horrific light makes me wonder if it's worth having eyes and eyesight. And I know that I'm waiting and I can't stand the wait 'cause the drugs are pumping in and I know I'll suffocate. みんな楽しもうとしている。 でも、うまくいきません。 誰もが泣きたい、でも、 涙管が壊れている。 彼らは私の涙を盗んだ。 彼らは私の楽しみを盗んだ。 涙が出ない。楽しめない。 誰に何が残るの？ Russian transliteration: Aleksandra Elbakian, moja liubov' – milost' tvoja. Znanije zastavliajet menia poteriat' sebia v strannyh zaniatijah, što otvlekajut menia ot boli, i voln, što oni veščajut. Russian translation: Alexandra Elbakyan, I am in love with you. Knowledge makes me lose myself in strange preoccupations that distract me from the pain and from the waves they broadcast. Japanese transliteration: Min'na tanoshimou to shite iru. Demo, umaku ikimasen. Daremoga nakitai, demo, namida-kan ga kowarete iru. Karera wa watashi no namida o nusunda. Karera wa watashi no tanoshimi o nusunda. Namida ga denai. Tanoshimenai.

It's time to join the community and raise awareness. This week, Merrit is joined by Diane Urban and Cathy Lawley, Co-Founders and Presidents of the Association of People Against Lethal Drugs. They are sharing their stories of their sons' passings when they were unknowingly given a lethal synthetic drug that killed them instantly - Carfentanil and Fentanyl. Now they are bringing awareness to many with APALD- Association of People Against Lethal Drugs.For more information, please visit: apald.netPurchase a copy of Merrit's book "Lost Innocence" by visiting: amazon.comHosted by: Merrit HartblayExecutive Producer: Jess Branas

Honestly, I’m tired of being the only one who writes or reads these things! Maybe 1300 duck tongues and one of the worlds deadliest drugs will snap me back into it?

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Duress is a defence, sometimes referred to as an excuse, for the commission of a criminal offence. The rationale for the defence is the idea of moral involuntariness. These are the requirements for the defence:There must be an explicit or implicit threat of present or future death or bodily harm. The threat can be directed at the accused or a third party. The accused must reasonably believe that the threat will be carried out. There is no safe avenue of escape. This element is evaluated on a modified objective standard. A close temporal connection between the threat and the harm threatened. Proportionality between the harm threatened and the harm inflicted by the accused. The harm caused by the accused must be equal to or no greater than the harm threatened. This is also evaluated on a modified objective standard. The accused is not a party to a conspiracy or association whereby the accused is subject to compulsion and actually knew that threats and coercion to commit an offence were a possible result of this criminal activity, conspiracy, or association. Once the accused person demonstrates that there is an “air of reality” with respect to each element of the defence, the Crown would need to prove that the defence does not apply. In the case discussed, the accused, and his brother, were on the same unit in jail as a man known as Big Newf. Big Newf demanded that the accused smuggle drugs into the jail. If the accused didn’t do this Big Newf, who had a reputation for violence, would harm the accused, or his brother. Big Newf arranged for a surety to help the accused get bail and then the person acting as a surety had the accused swallow and insert drug packages into his rectum. The accused was then required to turn himself into the police to get readmitted to jail. The accused did not think he had any safe avenue of escape because Big Newf, and his associates, had access to his brother who was still in jail. The trial judge, and the Ontario Court of Appeal, both concluded that the Crown had not proven that the defence of duress did not apply.Also on the show, the BC Court of Appeal upholds an 11-year jail sentence, for a man with no previous record, who plead guilty to trafficking in carfentanil. The man had been selling drugs online and shipping the drugs via Canada Post. Online advertising for the drugs included statements such as “one of the premium Fentanyl vendors in Western Canada.”, “carfentanil … [w]hen used responsibly … is proven to be very safe”, and “we have the best stealth period”.Finally, on the show, a BC Court of Appeal decision increasing the wrongful dismissal award in favour of an articling student who was fired by her principal is discussed. The court described the lawyer’s conduct as “high-handed, malicious, arbitrary or highly reprehensible misconduct that departs to a marked degree from ordinarily standards of decent behaviour.” The fired student was awarded $118,934 in general damages, $25,000 in punitive damages, $50,000 in aggravated damages, and $10 for breaching an articling agreement.

Amid a wave of synthetic drugs in recent years, Kensington, Pennsylvania has emerged as the locus for a different kind of experimentation, through a new generation of freelance entrepreneurs. Their bathtub chemistry is often guided by trial and error—leaving doctors, public health officials and harm reductionists struggling to understand the latest side effects. Last year,...

Canada’s hidden crisis:  Opioid toxicity deaths were falling across the country prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. But then came lockdown in March 2020. Experts say the record-breaking 2020 death toll is linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. They say the global crisis has worsened the illicit drug market, pushed individuals to use in isolation and decreased access to life-saving services. Fentanyl is described as being 100 times more potent than morphine. Carfentanil, the most powerful analogue, is upwards of 10,000 times stronger. The purity of already impure street drugs deteriorated when COVID-19 fractured supply chains. Experts say higher concentrations of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues made their way to the streets. These synthetic opioids were linked to about 75 per cent of overdose deaths in Canada between January and June 2020, according to the Government of Canada. GUEST: Donald MacPherson, Executive Director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carfentanil is known to be the strongest of all opioids, and it is potentially deadly and not intended for use by people. It is ten thousand times stronger than morphine and a hundred times stronger than fentanyl.https://recoverypartnernetwork.com/drug/opioid/opioid-use-disorder

Carfentanil is a structural analog of the synthetic opioid analgesic fentanyl that is 10,000 times stronger than morphine. I introduce rapid response, which is a test for fentanyl and many of the analogues. Those cutting your drugs with fentanyl want you dead and we need to find ideas to curb this epidemic.

Fentanyl Addiction https://worldsbest.rehab/fentanyl-addiction/ Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid with analgesic and anesthetic properties. Fentanyl selectively binds to and activates the mu-receptor in the central nervous system (CNS) thereby mimicking the effects of endogenous opiates. Fentanyl is up to 100 times more potent than Pharmaceutical grade Morphine. It is a schedule II prescription drug usually prescribed for severe, disabling pain and pain after surgery. Fentanyl Rehab: https://physisrecovery.rehab In 2016, it was claimed that the drug Fentanyl is deadlier than heroin. It was a strong statement, but one that may not be too far off from being true. Fentanyl may not be a drug that is commonly known by the average person. Those that are familiar with it know that it is a very powerful opioid that users can become addicted to very quickly. When used appropriately, Fentanyl is a pain reliever that can be extremely affective helping patients. However, Fentanyl misuse can lead to long-term addiction and potentially death. Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the most common substances involved with overdose drug deaths in the United States of America. Over the course of a seven-year time span (2010 to 2017), the number of overdose deaths involving Fentanyl went from 14.3 percent to 59.8 percent. There exists a very is a small margin between the therapeutic dose and toxic dose, meaning that it's very easy to overdose. Fentanyl acts rapidly inside the body and can cause respiratory distress and death much quicker than other drugs. What does Fentanyl do to the brain? Fentanyl allows individuals to feel pain relief because it binds to opioid receptors. These receptors are found in the brain where pain and emotions are controlled. Like any other drug, the brain evolves and adapts to the drug being taken. Sensitivity to the drug is then reduced and the tolerance to increases. Fentanyl causes brain dysfunction when taken for long periods. The dopamine receptors in the brain malfunction in individuals who misuse opioids. It makes users incapable of living without opioids. Fentanyl's affects the brain in several ways: Extreme happiness Sleepiness/drowsiness Nausea/vomiting Uncertainty/confusion Constipation Lethargic/sedation Breathing problems Coma/unconsciousness Fentanyl Addiction Factsheet: https://worldsbest.rehab/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Fentanyl-Addiction-1.pdf Carfentanil Even though Fentanyl is one of the most potent drugs in the World, it's not the most potent opioid on the planet. A derivative of Fentanyl called Carfentanil is mainly used to tranquilize elephants and large mammals weighing over 7,000 kgs. Carfentanil is estimated to be 10,000 times stronger than morphine and has zero medical use for humans. Treatment for Fentanyl Addiction? Experts stress there is no quick solution to Fentanyl addiction. Individuals cannot recover overnight and begin living life the way they did prior to taking it. It is a long road to recovery from Fentanyl addiction. The recovery process from opioid addiction typically takes one full year. Many recovering opioid users participate in medical maintenance schemes. The programs allow users to wean themselves off of Fentanyl or other opioids by taking methadone or buprenorphine. Medical maintenance programs are overseen by doctors whose job it is to help individuals get clean. Support the show (https://worldsbest.rehab)

In this episode, Stephen and I discuss many topics, from safe consumption sites to medical heroin to Dilaudid dispensing machines on the streets. Yet, the underlying theme of this podcast episode is the value of having empathy and forming relationships with people who struggle with addiction. People who inject heroin are real people who deserve a chance to recover, no matter how long it takes for them to be ready finally. British Columbia, Canada, takes harm reduction to a new level with supervised consumption sites and many other programs to help people who use drugs on the streets to stay safe and help them along the path towards recovery. These programs serve as a positive example for what other countries, such as the United States, that do not allow these advanced forms of harm reduction, could do to save many more lives from the deadly effects of opioids and other street drugs.Stephen Finlay is the manager of addiction services in the Surrey region for Lookout Housing and Health Society. Lookout is a non-profit organization that provides homeless shelters, supportive housing, subsidized housing, outreach, harm reduction, and related services throughout southern British Columbia, including Vancouver. Surrey is one of the largest cities in the Greater Vancouver area and has experienced problems arising from homelessness and drug use for many decades. As an addiction services manager, Stephen oversees an Intensive Case Management team, a supervised drug smoking site, and SafePoint, which is the second federally sanctioned supervised injection site in Canada. SafePoint opened in June 2017. Since it opened, there have been over 190,000 visits to SafePoint. The staff has reversed almost 1,500 overdoses, with no fatalities. Before joining Lookout, Stephen served as executive director of ARA Mental Health Advocacy, a small non-profit that provided advocacy services to people living with mental illness and poverty. He also has 29 years of experience in marketing, product development, and regulatory affairs at TELUS, Canada's second-largest telecommunications carrier, and four years of experience in marketing research at Procter and Gamble. Stephen served as a civilian volunteer for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition from 2006 to 2015. In his spare time, he enjoys international folk dancing.Please visit my podcast website at https://therehab.com and my professional website at https://drleeds.com. Thank you!

The current scale of the overdose crisis is being made clear today with new figures from the BC Coroners Service. 268 people died in BC from illicit drugs in the first three months of this year. That's down almost one-third from the number for the same period last year. Carfentanil was detected in nearly double the number of fatalities compared to a year ago. Carfentanil is 100-times more deadly than fentanyl. Guest: Andy Watson, Communications Manager at the BC Coroners Service

Listener discretion is advised. One of the discussions we're about to have may distress you. Chapter 1

Today we discuss the impact of addiction and the many pieces of the addiction recovery process that are necessary for a successful transition into a substance-free life.   Did you know that drug and alcohol addictions affect people from all walks of life? Of course, you do! But, you may not know this... According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, more than 80,000 people die from alcohol-related deaths each year in the United States. On top of an already staggering alcohol problem, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration says that 1 in 10 Americans has a drug problem, with drug overdoses alone killing about 72,000 people in the United States just last year. I’m dedicating this episode of our show towards bringing more awareness of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse and its impact on our society as a whole so that we can work together to change addiction in America. My first guest, Kay White, is a spiritual life coach, certified yoga instructor, and the executive director at Villa Kali Ma, which is a recovery program exclusively for women. She joins me today to share her personal journey of healing and learning to love and value herself after three decades of suffering from alcohol, drug, and relationship addiction. Kay shares how she was able to change her story from one of a victim to a true survivor. My second guest, Deni Carise, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist that has been part of the recovery community for over 30 years and is currently Chief Scientific Officer of Recovery Centers of America. She joins me today to discuss the transition from her own recovery into helping others recover from their addictions, and shares why a full continuum of care is crucial in supporting the likelihood of any successful recovery.   We Discuss: Becoming aware of the signs and symptoms of people struggling with drug or alcohol abuse Why emotional pain and unhealed trauma often contribute to addictive behaviors The important elements of a successful recovery program that create fundamental change The norms and stigmas in our society today that stop many people from seeking recovery The main contributing factors of the extreme opioid epidemic in our country today  Different options for treating opioid problems and why withdraw today is extremely difficult What Fentanyl and Carfentanil are and how they've severely impacted the opioid crisis The evidence-based practices being used in recovery centers to aid in a successful recovery What to look for in a treatment program and why people shouldn't fly away for treatment What a "full continuum of care" looks like in substance abuse treatment and why it's crucial   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

We do not have an overdose crisis. We have a poisoned drug supply. Fentanyl and its analogs are killing tens of thousands of Americans every year. Alarmingly and with ominous future implications, fentanyl-laced cocaine fatalities in Ohio are now outstripping fentanyl-laced herion fatalities. This trend began in 2016 but the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), who operates the three state crime labs that first learned about it, never made the data public. In this episode we speak with Dennis Cauchon, founder of Harm Reduction Ohio, who just this summer used public records laws to obtain the data from BCI and publish it, warning people that this poisoning crisis had now spread far beyond just the heroin market. Who is adding fentanyl and carfentanil to the cocaine supply? How many lives has Cauchon saved by spreading this information to the public? And why did BCI sit on the data for three years and not tell anyone? According to Cauchon, they simply didn't realize what they were looking at. Disconnected from the drug culture, they just assumed that mixing fentanyl with cocaine was a new drug trend. They had no idea that cocaine users were unaware that their cocaine contained fentanyl, and that they didn't want their drugs contaminated with it. Cauchon was able to educate some of the folks in BCI. "After initially being reluctant to provide the information," he say, "BCI was remarkably helpful, which showed a real concern about drug overdose deaths, not just helping police convict people on drug charges." This is the state of prohibition. This is drug war culture. In this episode we also speak to Donna May, a mother who lost her daughter to heroin after her doctor cut her off from the prescription opiates that relieved her symptoms of anxiety. We hear from Dr. Torsten Passie, who helped spearhead heroin maintenance programs in Germany. And we talk to Dr. Gabor Maté, best-selling author and addiction treatment specialist from Vancouver, Canada, who explains why drug users are one of the most scapegoated groups in our culture. This episode describes the problem as well as the solution. And the solution lies not just in changing drug laws, but also our own attitudes and false beliefs about drugs and the people who use them.

Narcan and Synthetic Opioids: vive la résistance? Probably not. Read this absolutely brilliant piece from The Tox & The Hound here. (They did all the hard work and we stole their sources.) Opioid "resistance" to naloxone is most likely not a thing, per se. The reported effect from synthetic and novel opioids are unlikely to be due to the agent's binding affinity for receptors within the brain, but rather from an ability to rapidly permeate the blood brain barrier much faster than "traditional" opioids such as heroin. Even in cases where a synthetic opioid agent was identified, the vast majority of cases did not need more than 4mg of naloxone to achieve reversal. Synthetic opioids don't bind any more "tightly" to receptors than naloxone. Synthetic opioids will usually cross the blood brain barrier faster than traditionally encountered agents. Most available evidence shows that synthetic opioid toxicity does not require significantly more naloxone to achieve clinically significant effect. Ergo, the traditional serial naloxone dosing algorithm does not need much modification. 0.04mg -> 0.4mg -> 2mg -> 4mg -> 8mg -> 10mg Not all that "overdoses" is an opioid. Consider all other causes of altered mental status or coma. Namely: hypothermia, hypoxia, and hypercarbia. Acidosis may potentiate the effect of opioids, highlighting the demand for timely and effective ventilation. Polypharmacy or adulteration is increasingly common. Consider intoxication by additional agents. Anchoring bias is a dangerous phenomenon: don't get burned! The Nose Knows. Or does it? Intranasal (IN) naloxone is popular among many EMS agencies as well as law enforcement, fire departments, and bystanders. IN naloxone has been shown to be effective in several randomized controlled trials for successful reversal of opioid intoxication. However... There are important pitfalls to be cognizant of when choosing this option for delivering naloxone.  Intranasal naloxone has poor bioavailability when compared to IV or IM dosing, so higher doses may be required to achieve clinical effect. This is further potentiated by the maximum volume able to be absorbed by the nasal mucosa (around 0.5mL). Patients administered intranasal naloxone may have a variable or delayed response in achieving reversal. Protect Ya Neck Standard isolation precautions are adequate protection against the overwhelming majority of overdose scenes. In the rare instance where respiratory or splash exposure is a concern, a properly fitted N95 mask and goggles will be sufficient. To date, there has yet to be a laboratory confirmed case where a first responder or emergency healthcare provider has suffered a clinically significant opioid intoxication (bradypnea, hypoxia ) as the result of an occupational exposure to fentanyl or its analogues.

The sweeping criminal justice bill that Gov. Charlie Baker signed earlier this month received widespread, but not universal, praise as a welcome turn away from the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and ‘90s. One notable dissenting voice was that of Setti Warren, the former Newton mayor who is now one of three Democrats vying to challenge Baker in the November election. Warren said there was lots that he liked in the bill, which pulled back sanctions in all sorts of areas, including eliminating or ratcheting back several mandatory minimum drugs sentences. But he denounced the inclusion in the bill of new mandatory minimum sentences related to the synthetic opioids Fentanyl and Carfentanil and said he would have vetoed the legislation because of them. Sen. Will Brownsberger, the lead Senate author of the bill, called Warren's position “uninformed,” and said it prompted him to endorse Jay Gonzalez, one of Warren's rivals in the Democratic primary for governor. Warren and Brownsberger sat down together to discuss their differences in this week's Codcast. The crux of the debate came down to finding the right balance between sticking with one's principles and the need for compromise to move things forward.

Author: Don Stader, M.D. and Rachael Duncan, PharmD BCPS BCCCP Educational Pearls Carfentanil is an opioid elephant tranquilizer that can be used recreationally.  It is 1000 times stronger than fentanyl, and looks like a white powder. Healthcare workers must be cautious when carfentanil overdose is suspected, as the drug can be absorbed through caregivers’ skin if it is present on the patient’s clothes. Overdose may require large amounts of naloxone, and a drip may be started at a rate equivalent to the bolus dose that the patient responded to. For example, if the patient responded to a 10mg bolus dose of naloxone, he would then be started on a 10mg/hr naloxone drip. References: https://www.dea.gov/divisions/hq/2016/hq092216.shtml
