Tracking California’s Opioid Epidemic | Upcoming Live Music with Insight’s ‘Concert Connect’
An investigation tracks the evolution of California’s decades-long opioid epidemic, leading to fentanyl. Insight’s “Concert Connect” highlights upcoming live music across Northern California.
Tracking California's opioid epidemic
Opioid deaths in California have seen a massive spike in recent years, up over 120% in the years between 2019 and 2021. Fentanyl is mostly to blame. The cheap, intensely addictive and super-potenent drug can kill a person with as little as 2 milligrams, or smaller than the tip of a pencil. CalMatters health reporter, Ana Ibarra, has released a comprehensive investigation into fentanyl and its impact on California, from which communities are being impacted the most to how much the state is spending on getting it off the streets.
Insight's "Concert Connect"
