Teen Drug Overdoses Climb, Deadly Fentanyl to Blame

The video discusses the issue of teens experimenting with pills they believe to be prescription drugs, which are often laced with fentanyl, a highly toxic substance. The tragic story of Makayla Cox, who died from a fentanyl overdose, highlights the dangers. The teen overdose death rate has significantly increased, not due to higher drug use, but because of a more toxic drug supply. Solutions include making naloxone available in schools and educating teens about drug safety. Expanding naloxone access to public places is also suggested.
