Fentanyl: Prescription or Poison? (Michael K. Williams recap)

Fentanyl could be in the cocaine, oxycontin, or even marijuana that’s sold in your neighborhood. Tracy, Cara, and the Red Table Talk community discuss how the infiltration of fentanyl has impacted their lives. Guest Debra Fields-Harris has watched co-workers and her own cousin struggle through addiction, and she shares about a friend she lost to marijuana laced with fentanyl. April Rhine reveals she has taken fentanyl but only because it was prescribed to her. In this episode, the virtual red table debates whether or not people pray over their drugs, if “be careful with your drugs” is enough of a warning, and Tracy shares about the time her face was melting?

This episode discusses drug use and overdose, which can be triggering to some. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction and needs information, please visit www.samhsa.gov or call the national helpline at 1-800-662-HELP for 24 hour free and confidential help.
