I'm making you politician and ruler of the United States where anything you say goes.

What is your new policy? All drugs are legal, but they will be regulated by the FDA.

That is Ryan Marino, and based on his statement,

you might think he has no idea what harm drugs can bring to society.

Turns out, Ryan actually is a drug expert, but probably not the kind you're thinking of.

Allow me to introduce you to Dr. Ryan Marino, emergency room toxicologist.

This is a unique specialty of medicine that makes him an expert on something we see in TV, movies, and the news all the time. Drug overdoses. Dr. Marino knows all about drugs and what they do, but perhaps more importantly he knows what they don't do.

Exhibit A, you've probably seen news stories that sound a bit like this.

Dramatic body cam video capturing the moment, Corporal Scott Crane of the San Diego County Sheriff's

Department is promising his trainee.

Deputy David Five-Eye.

He's not going to let him die after 5i was exposed to fentanyl while processing drugs at the scene of an arrest in early July

So what's happening in those videos like I've even seen them with the police officers that are like oh my God she's overdosing they give her an

Anarkan she wakes back up like I think you even know which me. Yeah

Like what's happening there? Something is happening and I like I I believe those are real symptoms. I can say that they are not a

fentanyl overdose. They're not a opioid overdose. They are in I think every

situation I can think of and I've seen I mean all of these videos at this point it's always the opposite and so it someone will like have a

Fear anxiety. They'll be like rapidly breathing, all these things that fentanyl would do the opposite of.

And so I mean we use it in medicine, end of life it takes away your anxiety, your fear.

We use it for people who have like some lung problem that kind of thing where they

feel like they're drowning or whatever you can get a fentanyl and it makes you feel

like you can breathe okay even if you're not. So my best guess, and this is purely speculation,
