As fentanyl emerged, the original strategies no longer worked, highlighting the need for better-adapted solutions. Keith Humphreys from Stanford discusses how America's approach has fallen short, emphasizing the importance of rethinking policies to address the evolving nature of drug addiction and its devastating impact on communities.
