In this episode, Michael Brown sits down with Dr. Gary Latson, a licensed anesthesiologist and father who lost his son to a fentanyl-laced substance. Dr. Latson brings over four decades of medical experience and shares the difference between medical fentanyl and the illicit version flooding American streets—and why this distinction can mean life or death.

We discuss:

• The dangers of illicit fentanyl from a medical perspective.
• The biology of opioid addiction and genetic vulnerability.
• The growing danger of fentanyl-stimulant combos.
• The role of physicians, policymakers, and parents in the opioid crisis.
