Notice of error: On this episode we stated that there was a report of a death related to a marijuana joint laced with Fentanyl. This is not true and has not been substaniated by BC RCMP. The audio recording will be edited to reflect this. For more information about Fentanyl linked to marijuana see: https://is.gd/c7yvCD. We apologize for this error.
