This video tackles the frequently asked but rarely answered questions about the dosages of some of the most prevalent and dangerous drugs on the streets today: methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and the increasingly lethal fentanyl.
We've all heard of these substances, we've all seen their destructive effects, but how much is actually a "dose"? How can you, as an officer, accurately understand and communicate what constitutes an average dose for these drugs?
In this video, I'm not just going to tell you, I'm going to show you. Using a simple, replicable exercise, I will physically break down these substances, showing you what an average dosage unit looks like for each one. This is vital information for you, your colleagues, and even for the communities you serve, helping to enhance awareness, prevention, and intervention efforts.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. I also share how to safely handle these substances and the critical importance of personal protective equipment. Misinformation can be deadly; it's our mission to ensure you have the accurate, research-backed knowledge you need.
Are you ready to level up your understanding and become an expert in drug dosage units? Let's dive in. Stay tuned, stay informed, and most importantly, stay safe.
