Syria-Afghanistan Drug Connection and "Theraflu" Heroin
A theory is developed connecting the heroin trade in Afghanistan with chemical precursors or fentanyl analogs coming from Syria. The hosts discuss "Theraflu" and "Magic City" as street names for the potent heroin-fentanyl mix. They suggest that the "hamburger helper" (fentanyl) is being used to cut heroin as prices fluctuate, leading to a spike in accidental overdoses.
