Join Steve Breen, our editorial cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winning creator, and inewsource Managing Editor Jamie Self as they discuss Steve's latest project - "Fentanyl: A Decade of Death." This illustrated story looks at the toll fentanyl has taken in San Diego, California and nationwide over the last decade as the cheaply produced and highly potent synthetic opioid that has been added to more and more illicit drugs, driving overdose deaths.
