We Do Recover With Jared Miller

EP 116 - Utah Fentanyl News


Listen Later

Guest host Mandy Miller joins her husband & host Jared Miller (CASUDC) to discuss two news articles about Fentanyl relating to Utah. The first article was published in the Salt Lake Tribune referencing a previous news article (from The Washington Post) about Fentanyl flooding into Southern Utah. The host starts off with this article to paint a clear picture of the type of individual purely driven by the profits of Fentanyl. This rolls into the second news article published in The Daily Herald regarding State Senate Bill 254 (SB254). This controversial bill targets the sales of substances that lead to fatalities (e.g. Heroin, Fentanyl, etc.). If the bill passes, law enforcement could charge drug dealers with "drug-induced homicide" in the event that their transaction leads to the death of its user. This charge is a second-degree felony that carries a sentence of five years to life in prison. Mandy states that she hopes the proposed bill would not affect those suffering from addiction but rather those profiting from its sales. Jared struggles with cognitive dissonance (rationalizing two opposing thoughts at the same time) about this bill. Both hosts agree on "murky water"! This bill lacks the details necessary to be embraced by the recovery community at this time. This episode is FULL of information & education about real-time issues. We hope it increases awareness & gets people together to brainstorm some solutions. We hope you enjoy it!
