This week on Century of Lies: Counterfeit Benzos. 

In the words of the executive producer of the Drug Truth Network, Dean Becker, Because of prohibition you don't know what's in that bag. That was true well before fentanyl came along. And these days, it's not only fentanyl, and it's not only the opioid market.

The Loop Australia is a not-for-profit organization of chemists, health workers and researchers delivering and developing drug checking services in Australia. Their CEO, Cameron Francis, spoke recently on a webinar organized by the Penington Institute entitled "Fake Benzos: What's the harm?"

Plus we hear from Cat Packer, Director of Drug Markets and Legal Regulation at the Drug Policy Alliance, and Shaleen Title, Founder and Director at the Parabola Center for Law and Policy, on social equity and the rollout of adult use legalization in Ohio.
