What a sad state of affairs when we celebrate “only” 93K overdose deaths because it’s down from 111K last year. The CDC points to fentanyl test strips and ready access to Narcan as being partly responsible for the downward trend. Isn’t that great? It’s not illicit drug use that’s decreasing; it’s our ability to prevent fentanyl overdose by testing our drugs before use and the ability to treat the overdose. The cartels and big pharmaceutical will be pleased to know that the demand for illicit drugs will continue unabated.
