The Whiplash Over a Possible Peace Deal With Iran

As America is beginning to wrap its arms around the fentanyl crisis, a new kind of drug epidemic is emerging. It is faster, more addictive, more lethal and powered by synthetic drugs — substances that can be made almost anywhere.

Matt Richtel, a science and health reporter, and Azam Ahmed, an international investigative correspondent, have been pursuing a series of stories looking at the rise of ultra-potent lab-made drugs.

On today’s episode of “The Daily,” Azam explains how these drugs are beginning to take hold and brings us inside the effort to do something about it.
