Fentanyl - Ben Westhoff


Listen Later

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that's getting cut with traditional illicit drugs like MDMA, herion and cocaine.

It's killed Prince, Tom Petty and thousands of other Americans, then more around the world.

The precursers that make fentanyl mostly come from China, with Mexican drug cartels buying them to make the drug.

Ben went undercover in Wuhan China to write Fentanyl Inc.

What's going to happen to the manufacture, supply chain, sale and consumption of the most lethal opioid.
