Maybe I was naive but when I started my newest Job last summer, I came face to face with how prevalent drug use is in this country.
I expected pot to be the most used in the patients I was seeing, it is not. Cocaine, fentanyl and heroin are.
I mistakenly thought cocaine was a more expensive option so wouldn't be seen that often. Wrong. 80% of the patients I see test positive for cocaine. The oldest, I've seen, was 80 years old; the youngest 16 years old. I've seen people who live in government housing and people who live in upper middle class areas of town.
Fentanyl is cheap. It is mixed with the cocaine (which lowers the price), so if someone's tox screen shows cocaine, most of the time, it will show fentanyl also.
That testimony JellyRoll gave was powerful. Sadly, it will change nothing.
