Rob and Jamie discuss the latest news regarding synthetic opioids, including the UK government's decision to ban 14 nitazenes and reports of more fatalities in Wales associated to these substances. What impact will the latest 'crackdown' on drugs have, especially on those who use substances?

We discuss whether this latest ban will work, or if history is likely to repeat itself and other substances will just replace them within the UK drug market. We also highlight what harm reduction measures could be implemented to mitigate such issues associated to nitazenes, including drug checking services and how this can significantly help provide current and factual harm reduction information.

We also answer your questions via our ADQs (Ask Drug Questions section) and Rob questions Jamie about why he couldn't get past episode 2 of Breaking Bad!
