No matter where you live, the opioid epidemic has likely touched you or someone you know. Now, a state committee set up to allocate settlement funds from opioid manufacturers and distributors has just issued its first reporting of disbursements at the municipal level. The stakes are high. Connecticut has some of the highest opioid death rates in the country. Each month, more than 100 people die in Connecticut from an opioid overdose. More than 9,000 overdose deaths have been documented since 2015, and the vast majority of these fatal overdoses are linked to opioids or, increasingly, to synthetic opioids or proxies. After years of litigation, major opioid manufacturers and distributors have begun paying $600 million in settlement funds to Connecticut over the next 20 years. Those funds are intended to be allocated in ways that prevent future opioid deaths, a process the state's 45-member Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee will help oversee. This hour, we'll hear from Christine Minhee who oversees one of the only national databases tracking opioid settlement spending. Minhee is "astounded" by Connecticut's first round of municipal reporting, and the level of detail as to how and where those dollars are headed. We'll also hear from William Tong, Connecticut Attorney General, and advocates in our region who are working to reframe how we talk about and treat the opioid epidemic.

We had a great convo with William Tong Of Origin Protocol & Kyle Schember Of Subtractive. They talked about the cool space-age projects they have been involved with and the generous work they've done, including raising funds for St. Jude. Finally, we wrap up the session talking with Nicole Buffett. She's one of Fortune Magazine's top NFT influencers and also a great soul with lots of plans to change our world for the better. In fact, we later teamed up with her for our Spirit Seeds NFTs, celebrating digital art as a new form of currency (https://www.spiritseeds.xyz). It was a wonderful whirlwind of an opportunity to have attended this event. Listen in as we capture the energy and excitement and fun that permeated this party.More from Edge of NFT:
