Why is fentanyl an extremely potent painkiller meant for cancer patients becoming the "breakfast" for tens of thousands of homeless people on the streets of America?
Not all of them started by seeking out drugs. Many once had jobs, families, even dreams like anyone else. But somewhere amidst housing crises, medical costs, and psychological breakdowns, they were pushed into the spiral of addiction.
Is this an inevitable consequence of an overburdened system? Or is it a warning sign of a deeper social crisis where survival on the streets sometimes depends on a chemical not meant for them?
Let's step into that world not to judge, but to listen.
