The Cajun Chemist: Drug Trends from the streets to the schools

Recorded at the 2025 Tall Cop Emerging Drug Trends Conference, Tall Cop Jermaine Galloway sits down with forensic scientist Rebecca Chiasson, known as The Cajun Chemist, for a revealing look into today’s most dangerous and rapidly evolving drug trends. Rebecca shares her journey and passion for bridging the gap between laboratory science and frontline enforcement. Together, they break down fentanyl, the rise of fentanyl analogs, and the growing threat of Xylazine, a veterinary drug now mixed with fentanyl that cannot be reversed by Narcan. This powerful conversation exposes how drug trends are created on the streets, marketed like brands, and ultimately make their way into our schools and communities.Save the Date for the 5th Annual Tall Cop Emerging Drug Trends Conference on 11/12-13/2026!Follow us on ⁠Facebook⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠YouTube⁠, and ⁠LinkedIn.⁠Subscribe to our ⁠monthly newsletter here⁠!Learn more about the ⁠Tall Cop Speaker's Network!⁠
