The Graphics department of this show needs an award. We need to create a special kind of award for them

This is what a real journalist should be like.

Chinese: sell drugs to a former british colony The british: fascinating

damn. you can tell how much this issue means to hasan on a personal level. its crazy how huge this problem really is

When your baby powder company is also a deadly drug distributor

Comedians all over the world are making more sense than journalists. This will be written in the History books, how the time changed in 21st century. Comedians were more authentic and trustworthy than journalist.

Fentanyl needs to be categorized as a poison. I don't like the idea that certain individuals can kill people with this and then turn around and say well the autopsy says that they were addicted to drugs.

It’s amazing how comedy shows are much more informative than a CNN news panel.

Man, he goes hard at the very end. Real talk. Individuals like Hasan and John Oliver deserve more recognition for the work they're doing.

Before, we used to listen to politicians and laugh at comedians. Nowadays, it's the other way around...

*man I'm so upset. I loved Hasan's show on Netflix. I can't believe they took it down. I wish he picked it back up on YT instead. I feel like it's a better platform for the type of show this is*

The new problem now is carfentanil...it's a hundred times stronger than fentanyl and killed a friend of mine the day after he left his rehab. He was only 19. Great show, thank you for shedding light

Company creates a disease, then sells the antidote. That's "V for Vendetta".

Comedians are the new investigative journalists.

KZfaq gets a lot of advertisements from pharmaceutical companies. That's why there's 10 comments and it doesn't get recommended for 9 months. March 16th. will be 4 years clean.. Good luck everybody..

I am starting to view him as a Revolutionary Icon. He gotta watch his back, those guys up there won't like it

Hasan truly outdid himself in this episode. I'm not from the US, so I'm not familiar with this crisis before, but Hasan laid it out so beautifully that I can follow the episode just as easy as episodes like Fortnite. And that 'warm regards' at the end is such an epic mic drop moment. I can't wait to see what his next episode is going to be like.

If Hasan cover “Epstein” story; The internet will explode

I only recently discovered Hasan's videos (latecomer, I know). Truly, Hasan is the ultimate Patriot! Kudos to you for loving your country and your fellow humans to address so many important issues that no one else is willing or able to.

I just lost a childhood friend from this. The struggle is too real for a lot of people. I hope this helps people and maybe saves a life through awareness

Dude! My doctor literally yells "Never Google your symptoms"... Oh yeah... May be I should start googling his prescriptions!

hasan: isn't it so weird to hear genuinely good news? me: it sure is, I can't wait for you to ruin it!

I honestly think The patriot act and last week tonight are the best investigative news shows out there

Hasan, When I was a little girl long ago, before this crisis, someone I loved very much unintentionally ODed on heroin and died. I also have spent all these years following the trends in opioids. I am so sorry that you also know that pain. Thank you for doing this.

Very akward start without the iconic intro song. I had to search and play the intro song at youtube then come back to this video. 😂

The ending is like saying: "Our hydrogen bombs kill too many people. Now introducing: The Death Star"

I think China might still be mad about the Opioid Wars

Thank god I got clean and sober off Heroin before this got out there.... this is beyond sad 😢 thank you for you’re amazing show Hasan Minhaj much love to you ❤️🙏🏻

Eid Mubarak everyone! Wherever you are in the world, I hope you had a brilliant day.

The silence from the audience at the very end of this clip was heavy, damn. Great episode. Always appreciate a heavy dose of knowledge of what's happening in murica.

I feel like Hasan will one day save this world using just info and comedy. #Hasanforprez2024

We don't have this problem in the UK because we have a national healthcare system so the drugs prescribed by doctors are strictly regulated.

Thank you for doing this, my uncle died of heroin in 2004, he was an engineer. Lifelong back pain.

Patriot Act and Last Week Tonight are our generation's 60 Minutes. These are the best news shows today.

"Isn't it weird to hear genuinely good news?" but back in 2019.

“Isn’t it weird to hear genuinely good news?” 2020-2021: Yes, yes it is

Aside from the casual possibility of instant death, a Fentanyl overdose looks as if you are falling asleep, which makes it hard to spot in time to save someone. It could also be absorbed through the skin. Even some first responders weren't safe from its effects.

As a pharmacist it is nice to see such a complete look at this issue. Something that we have been trying to bring to light for a long time. Keep up the great reporting, much appreciated on all your subjects

Here's what scares me about all this. Opioid prescriptions have been on the decline since 2011, and yet Fentanyl deaths have been on the rise that whole time, thanks to it being added to the heroin supply. But now chronic pain patients are suffering because of this. People all over the US are being rapidly stepped down or cut off from their pain medications because doctors are over-correcting and afraid. Or, because laws have been passed in some states limiting the dose allowance. These are patients that have been stable on their medications and doses for years, who have always been compliant with their doctors' conditions, and who were able to have at least some quality of life. Saying "Well, back and neck pain? Nope - fentanyl's only for cancer patients" does a disservice to those that have the kind of pain that cancer patients can get. It also doesn't take into account a patient's genetic profile (there's a genetic test now to see what pain medications you can process correctly), pain needs, other medication interactions or side-effects. I'm not talking about achy backs and pulled muscles. I'm talking about the kind of pain that makes you want to kill yourself - the kind that never stops. And unfortunately, while we have a lot of tools in our medical toolboxes, not everything can be fixed. I would love - LOVE - if we had better options that didn't involve physical tolerance and the risk of drug-seeking addiction. I would LOVE to not be under a microscope because of a medication I need. Not Fentanyl - something else. But I used to be on it, and was on the same dose (patch) for about 8 years. If used correctly, and prescribed by a good pain management doctor (this is key), it can be a life-saver. I'm not over-exaggerating when I say that I'd be dead by my own hand without proper pain control. I'm not alone in this. So please don't dismiss us folks that don't have cancer, but still live with incurable conditions that make life hell.

16:25 "It's like hearing pantene makes atom bombs...wait the secret ingredient is uranium?" 🤣🤣🤣

Damn, that got really serious.

"Murderers, who will never face a judge"

I watched my ex overdose. She lived. And she bought more from the same guy a week later.

Cuz of Hasan I was able learn so much that I used. I actually filed my taxes for free last year cuz of his show.....then he got cancelled. How? This was the best truth show EVER. That's probably why. He was too good and too honest. He's another level of person. Love him love him.love him. I'm brown so I guess I'm biased😅

As a doctor, we've all studied and used naloxone as an antidote for opioid poisoning, so it's not a miracle drug bringing back people from death anyhow, just does it's job as an antagonist. Fentanyl should only be used in supervised doses by trained medical professionals so it's terrifying and sad that people are using and OD-ing on basic drugs used for anaesthetic procedures. This is a great episode, brilliant broadcasting of a situation which really needed to be talked about!

Reagan: "Marijuana is dangerous" Also Reagan: "We need more Fentanyl"

You said something that very much applied to me. I had legitimate groin pain and my doctor for ten years kept me well medicated. I was prescribed opioids(perc, fentanyl), benzos(xanax), muscle relaxers(soma), and stimulants(adderall) from the age of 18 until I was 28 starting as percocet tablets eventually pushed up to fentanyl patches all legally for groin pain. As well anxiety, ache muscles, and the sleepiness was treated with narcotics as well. During this my mother overdosed on morphine she died at 46 years old. This was a life changing event and Ive been in treatment, counceling, and a MAT program. Currently Im still on an opioid called methadone for heroin addicts but im no longer on anything else opioids are so difficult to overcome for some

How did Netflix cancel him I loved his show and was as saddened to see it go as I was to see friends go

I want my trampoline episode! And make it about biryani.

Everyone: and drug cartel and their drugs are killing people Big pharma: hold my opioid

The way doctors prescribe fentanyl is JUST LIKE how they prescribed oxycodone/oxycontin

Love the warm regards ending, gave me chills

he's a good showman and speaker. i was hooked for the entire 30 min. nice execution on the set design as well

That "warm regards" in the end was a sick burn 🔥 for pharmaceutical companies.

this episode felt more emotional than other episodes, loved how well presented the information was. well done to all that helped piece it all together,,, when he talked about being personally affected, just wanted to give him a big hug :( the ending was so strong, much respect for taking the high road for such terrible moral crimes

I just cried watching this... I use fentanyl patches (and I’ve been on them for almost 2 years) for nerve pain caused by nerve damage in my lower spine and I wish I never agreed to be on them. 💔

Will get Netflix just for this show

He’s doing better journalism than most media.

Man, you hit the exact right spot

Who told him to put his hands in his pockets??!! I love his hand movements.

Already watched on netflix. Just here to support.

Discovered you with Casey Neistat on Deep Cuts. After 2 weeks of binge-watching I know that this show is what I'm looking for: an educational + entertaining show edit: love from the philippines

I wasn't familiar with Hasan at all until very recently. Catching up on these episodes has been a blast; this guy is the shit.

What a brilliant, intelligent young man. His passion, articulation and effortless delivery of human greed and stupidly.

YES !!! HE IS MOVING HIS HANDS AGAIN !!! Thanks for the likes guys 😊

“Guess what warm regards” absolutely killed the ending 👌👌

This guy moves like he is in a rap video. I can’t not see it, and now you can’t either.

Why did they stop this show. Very entertaining and informative.

Hasan Minhaj still needs to buy that blue BMX bike

Damn that ending gave me chills. Great job on another video. You and your team are doing great work

I've been watching patriot act all day and he seems a lot more serious about this topic

Hasan, you've done it again! This is straight up truth. I, too, know many people who are addicted to opioids for the wrong reason and I have lost some of them, and some I just can't straight up associate with anymore because they are recreational users and I can't be around them cuz they're always fucked up. Unfortunately, I am "dependent" on opioids for my pain. I have severe back problems and I have dealt with them through medication instead of surgery out of fear. However, it is now at the point where the medication no longer helps me get through my day and I have no choice left but surgery. I'm lucky to have a good doctor who's mindful of addiction and will not increase my dosage. I'm also lucky to find a surgeon, one of three in the southeast, that can do the multi-level surgery and help me with the deformities of my spine. I am terrified of the procedures that I will have to go through, but I've realized that if it means I can get off of, or at least back off of some of my medications, it is the right thing to do. Please pray for me!

The kind of tests these people take makes me rethink shading Hasan's 1310 SAT score

Real journalism right here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯 This is so scary.

Absolutely eye-opening episode! This is the real Real Talk

Thank you Hasan for making this episode I didn't get to see it when you first made it and this time it hits me hard because I know a lot of people addicted to this crap

john oliver and hasan minhaj in the same day. Yay 😀

Dude you are amazing. I have Netflix. But just as soon as i saw this recommendation on KZfaq i just hit play. Now I'll just rewatch it again on Netflix for second act

Sir Hasan Minhaj ! You have my respect for life for the savage and brave honesty you bring to every topic you pick ! Had goosebumps after this episode. Thank you

I'm European. I've had broken bones, all of my wisdom tooth extracted, I've been into a car crush, had operations done with local anestisia, a really a bad concussion, months long back pain with slipping disc... After every one of them, my doctors have told me to just take it easy and, if it hurt, to buy non-prescription drugs, like an Aspirin (Tylenol) Had I lived in USA, I would have gotten pain killers prescribed to me long time ago. But I can not say that my experiance with non-prescription drugs was that horrible. At most I've had a few bad days, but it's just something you forget about after some time. It's crazy, to me, what capitalism/greed has done to so many people.

I had Fentanyl as part of my pain block when I had foot surgery in July. I had a very hard time keeping my O2 Sats up when I was in Recovery. I have had many surgeries and colonoscopies where I had a pain block and anesthesia and never had that problem before. When my ortho doc told me what meds were used for my pain block, an alarm went off and I have it and Dilaudid listed as severe med allergies so I never will be given it without my knowledge. Good old fashioned Morphine works very well for my pain. That was the pain block I had for my colonectomy and bowel resection. And THAT was more painful than my foot surgery.

This episode was the best one yet. I appreciate the passion and work put into this topic that impacts so many. Really Good job Hasan!

If only he wouldn't have gone after Indian Politics, we would have been able to see more masterpieces like this.

1 year clean.. I was literally in the hospital recovering from an overdose when this video was posted!

Such a concerning topic!!! Superb Work Dude

Thank you Hasan! This was shocking and sad.

Veterinarian killed my dog using Fentanyl patch. My dog went into renal failure. I wish it was my husband's heroin addicted mistress

They gave my mom fentanyl patches well before she hit late stage cancer. Maybe her doctors knew it wasn't gonna work out and wanted to make her more comfortable earlier, but she 100% didn't need them at the time. She didn't use them in the end, but they legit give this stuff out like it's nothing. We had literal boxes upon boxes of patches from 1 prescription filled.

ok not gonna lie...I have done the "record MS Word as I type" thing for many projects :P

I prefer watching this on KZfaq instead of Netflix so I can simultaneously read comments.

You’re my new hero HM!!! Pls bring back this show @netflix

I get bullied by my aggressive patients to give opioid for any type of pain. I stay strong and decline it if whenever I suspect addiction and call addiction team.

I have an auto immune disease which is Rheumatoid Arthritis and I also have Fibromyalgia. I was actually put on a 12mcg (mircogram) Fentanyl patch (which was supposed to release the medication slowly using the temp of your body), along with at one point 20mg of Oxycodone 4x daily. After laws were put into place to scale back the pain medication I was brought down to 10mg of Oxycodone 4x daily and still with the patch. There were about 6 months in which the Fentanyl didn't show up in the drug tests so we realized my body literally stopped adsorbing it. I was put on Belbuca which is also a microgram release drug but you put a small film in your mouth every twelve hours and it helps a lot and it isn't as dangerous as Fentanyl. It is also interfering with they Oxycodone because it actually blocks the effectiveness of certain medications like Oxycodone so we are hoping my doctor will adjust my meds and take me off the Oxycodone and hopefully I will end up with pain meds that are less dangerous. **edited because I put 29mg instead of 20mg**

I think it should be aired on TV, The content is so great that even a single video is enough to create an awareness. Hats off to Hasan and his team , keep up the good work.

“Fentanyl Friday!” 😂 Top-tier comedy

The research is so good on this episode.

I appreciate that he made us realise the silent killers in shape of life savers. Doctors, here in South Asia have gone nuts with antibiotics. And guess what I'm 23 and immune to almost every antibiotic we had in market. That's some serious stuff.

The members multimedia department of Patriot Act are pure legends!!!! Way too good!

The research department for this show - kudos 👍🏼. He brings in awesome topics that are untouched

Thanks for the excellent investigative documentary
