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.

Guest: Azam Ahmed, an international
investigative correspondent for The New York Times.
