Bryan Bush describes the effect the COVID-19 pandemic is having on a new drug problem in Cayuga County this way: âGasoline on the fire.â
Bush, a certified recovery peer advocate at Confidential Help for Alcohol & Drugs in Auburn, sees the problem several days a week at the Cayuga County Jail, where he counsels inmates.
For every 10 who sit across from him, eight or nine have recently switched their drug of choice from heroin, Bush said.
âThey tell me they donât care about heroin anymore,â he said. âJust molly.â
It has been around for more than a decade, but use of molly has increased in Cayuga County during COVID-19. Sheriff Brian Schenck said his office has seen the synthetic drug more than any other substance this year.
