Videos of the March Club Meeting on Combating the Opioid Overdose Epidemic

Nearly 70,000 people die from drug overdoses in America every year, 70% involving opioids. Many 1000’s more go unreported. We heard from the experts on the front lines of the battle against the growing opioid epidemic in America. This crisis which takes 100’s of American lives every day is more deadly than the Chinese Coronavirus, but it’s not even being reported.  Our March 5th club meeting was an effort to shed light on this present epidemic which will only get worse, should the economy collapse and more and more young people seek to escape into the world of drugs without knowing the fatal consequences.
