520			_a"A revelatory, moving narrative that offers a harrowing critique of the war on drugs from voices seldom heard in the conversation: drug users who are working on the front lines to reduce overdose deaths"-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_aIn the 1990s, pharmaceutical corporations flooded America with powerful narcotics while lying about their risk. Many patients developed addictions to prescription opioids; then, as access was restricted, waves of people turned to the streets and began using heroin and, later, the dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl. Lupick shows how this story fails to acknowledge how the war on drugs has exacerbated the crisis and leaves out one crucial voice: that of drug users themselves. He provides an intimate look at how users navigate the policies that criminalize them, and chronicles a rising movement that is fighting to save lives, end stigma, and inspire commonsense policy reform. -- adapted from jacket
