In this
episode, I discuss the dangerous intersection of social media and
drug culture. Snapchat and Instagram are the two most common
platforms for advertising and selling drugs. According to recent
statistics, the overdose mortality rate for teenagers increased by
94% from 2019 to 2020, with at least one in four teens
acknowledging that they have seen drugs advertised and sold on
social media. We must be informed parents and vigilant in
monitoring our children's social media activity to prevent them
from falling victim to the underground drug world.
