For most, the recent cases involving fentanyl that have made headlines in our communities is a first sign of an emerging crisis.

Besser, who sat down for a one-on-one conversation with CBS4 reporter Karen Morfitt, says part of why we are seeing more of the deadly drug is because it’s synthetic or man-made. “They need workers; they need land; they need the capability to try and hide from law enforcement detection,” Besser explained. “And then, they have to process those plants, then, they have to take that and process that into heroin, very costly time-consuming endeavor.”“You can take just a chemist the raw materials and manufacture fentanyl in a small room with very low overhead,” Besser said.
