In the first of two episodes, Glenn and Eric discuss Netflix’s “How to Fix a Drug Scandal” (2020), covering the actions and consequences of two Massachusetts drug chemists.  In this episode, they mostly focus on the Sonja Farak aspect, who was a drug chemist, addicted to drugs and stealing drugs from her standards cabinet and evidence.  The guys discuss the issue of ‘random drug screenings’ of crime lab employees and the lack of other various controls in the U.S.  The lack of controls can allow circumstances like this to occur, here and elsewhere, undetected for a long time.  They also share some personal experiences from their past related to friends/co-workers with serious drug problems.  Also, they remind everyone to join them on Discord for virtual Latent Print Examiner Happy Hour, Wednesdays 8-10PM EST (5-7PM PST) during the Shelter in Place orders (http://discord.gg.b39pp6j).
