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. Through his compelling art style, Breen explores lives lost to fentanyl in our region, uses compelling images to help readers understand the fatal risks of using the drug, and offers information on how to seek help and prevent drug overdoses.
