Thank you for this arc! I was so excited to read this and it didn’t disappoint. I loved the factual nature of the information he provided, but also how he intertwined his personal experience with addiction. It gave a good perspective on how poor those with addiction and SUD are treated in the U.S. compared to other countries who have a healthcare model. I think this is definitely one everyone needs to read.

This was a great book. I’ve read quite a few books over the past few years about the opioid epidemic. This one added much to my knowledge.

This book dives into the modern complexities of drug abuse in America, highlighting how our system is failing to protect its citizens. The author presents a chilling and eye-opening narrative about the rise of synthetic fentanyl as a significant narcotic, the socio-political impacts of the drug war in America, and the increase of overdose deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a thoughtful discussion, the author advocates for focusing on human rights rather than criminalizing addiction, proposing comprehensive policy reforms that emphasize treatment and support over punishment.
