California: Sanctuary City Policies, Homelessness and Cartel Fentanyl, where does this Road Lead to?
While overdose deaths climb and homelessness surges, billions in taxpayer dollars disappear into broken systems and half-hearted solutions. And beneath it all, an industrial-sized drug economy thrives: unseen, unchallenged, and politically inconvenient.
In this searing episode of The Opioid Matrix, Scott Silverman, CEO and Founder at Confidential Recovery, comes back to the show to dissect alongside Michael Brown the fentanyl-fueled collapse happening in plain sight.
We dive into:
How fentanyl has turned homelessness into an economic loop no one’s breaking
Implementing harm reduction strategies without treatment or housing infrastructure
The cartel tactics reshaping distribution into thousands of small, undetectable channels
This episode doesn’t pull punches. It asks what too many refuse to: What if we’re letting fentanyl win because it’s just easier that way?
