Courtney and Scott… this was incredible. so packed with great info. I am sorry to say had no idea about any of this. I am east of san Francisco , Central Valley, and I see rampant meth use. occasional heroine/fentanyl overdose, and cocaine use. I suspect from what you say I might be seeing a different kind of horror sometime soon. thank you both very much
